Dog Attacked

[THLpatrick 555]

My brother was walking my oldest dog lewy the whippet near are house, he could see 2 dogs across the road so they both crossed in oppostie directions and my brother started walking my dog ahead then heard the handlers shouting oh no, and there was a staffy going at my whippet, my brother kicked the dog off as much as he could buthe didnt really have much time so put the whippet behind him to protect it my dog was still on the lead and the staffy wudnt give in, eventually it got round my brother and got hold of him for a good 3 seconds rippping into him, whilst the 2 handlers couldnt get across the road but still didnt look keen to interact the shitbags the staffy is known to be dangerous in the sanctuary and they didnt even fit the harness propally never mind thinkin about a mussle, the handlers then tried to argue with my older brother over him using bad language after there dog has jus ripped a chunk out my dog, heres a picture the vet said he should BE OKAY to run etc, but the only worry is is skin dying :/, anyone no how whippets shape up of a tear heres a picture.

Hey Patrick sorry to hear that mate. That's a shame. All the best with the whippet. Let us know how he does. Talk soon eh?

i'd be surprised if that dog ran again pal, some people should not be able to walk staffs.

paddy i hope the A*SEHOLES are paying the vets bills Degsy

[CarraghsGem 92]

if any lads are local to this lad, sort those fuckers out, get them to at least pay for the vets fees

[jf1970 328]

sorry to hear this it is awful. wish your dog a speedy recovery atb tom.

Don't listen to people who say that the dog is unlikely to run again: I've seen much worse on my own dogs, and they have healed fine. Obviously the bruising is a concern, and yes, the wound could break down and the skin die off, but nature is pretty miraculous and even if it takes a long time the dog will heal providing you follow the vet's instructions. As the vet has already told you the dog will run again, then listen to the vet, not someone on here who I doubt very much is a vet, or has had a great deal of experience.

 

Just keep him quiet, clean the wound VERY gently every day with salt water: a teaspoon of salt dissolved in half a litre of previously boiled water which has been allowed to cool to luke warm.

 

You might well end up with a scar with no fur on it, but that won't matter at all. Good luck.

That looks a bad one mate. I'd do what a couple of the lads on here have suggested, as regards the vets fees. Good luck

Yeah it is, but it happens and where just glad he didnt get worse, i.e his throat or face
