We took Lucah to a new dog park this weekend and thought it would be fun for him. What happened was three dogs ganging up on the little guy and one of them taking a bite out of his side. When it happened I didn't see any marks so I thought he was fine. Not until we got to the pet store later, we noticed a small hole in his side.We didn't even get the owner information. Had I know that they gave him a puncture wound on his side.Â
300 dollars later and some shaving lead to the pictures below. Lucah is pretty soar today...but doesn't seem too upset. We almost didn't go to the vet because we thought it was just a scratch...but the skin was pulled away from the flesh so a pocket was being created and this could lead to problems.
Lucah is really tired, of course, and every once in a while he cries when he gets up. The doctor inserted a drain and gave him a seditive. We got an e-collar and a whole bunch of antibiotics.
I just wish I got that owners information so I could foward them the bill. I thought about going back, but I can't be too sure which dog it was so I will have to chalk this up to experience and try to be more careful next time.
I just hope he isn't too afraid to go back.Â
Make sure you are careful out there everyone.
