Hi all...

My big boy Apollo got a 3 inch gash on his neck, about 1/4 inch deep. No clue how he got it, but he did have a little sore there that I had cleaned up, but what I think happened was that there was buildup of puss underneath the skin. He must have finally scratched hard enough & ripped it open with his nails. $311 later & a trip to " Puppy ER " & all is well. Has to keep this thing on for a week to 10 days. Oh yeah, you guys wanna see something funny ?? Have your bully on morphine. He was so dope drunk, it was hilarious. Until I had to pick up his 89 lb dead weight body & bring him in the house.

Later,
Chap

Oh my goodness look at that poor thing! The face is priceless! So embarrassed
I cannot imagine a bully doped up on morphine, must have been an interesting event!

 

[Cinder]

Awww, poor little buddy! Glad you got it taken care of, and he's on the road to mending.

hell be better in no time but that would be funny to see him all doped up

The morphine was the best. He came out of the office, walked over to me & my wife, BAMM, on the floor. We coaxed him up & he was walking like he just drank Mad Dog 20/20. Made it just outside the office door, BAMM, on the sidewalk. I had to pull my car to him, pick him up, & put him in the back. Now, we get home, & my wife goes to subdue our German Sheppard who is in heat at the time. I get Apollo out of the back of my Honda Element, & he actually walk to the door leading in from the garage. BAMM, on the garage floor. He had had it. I had to carry him the rest of the way. It was quite a site, i gotta tell ya. Worth the price of admission...

Thanx
Chap

Awww a lampshade. Hope he gets better soon!

 

[Cinder]

That is such the visual! Same thing happened with Atticus after he got fixed. I had the vets assistant help me get him into the truck...but how the hell was I supposed to get him OUT when we got home? Thank God my friend next door was home.

 

[chapds]

In & out of the car wasnt that bad, but when i had to pick him up & carry him through the house, that was bad news. Arms shaking, trying to get through doorways. Almost dropped him twice...

 

[Cinder]

He probably wouldn't have minded.

 

[chapds]

Yeah, didn't think of that. You're probably right on that one...

Thanx
Chap

 

[Cinder]

Let us know how he progresses!

Poor guy.. When Ben had one on his head he would hold his head down, and sulk scraping the cone across the kitchen floor. :lol: :lol: That or run into the walls..

 

[chapds]

yeah, my walls are getting killed. it was funny, i took him for a walk last night, & all he did was scrape the concrete. turned out to be a very short walk, but I just wanted him to stretch his legs...

thanx

[Cinder]

No, you're normal. I'm sure we all have stupid little names for the things our dogs do.
