tubba 38 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Proper gutted about this incident that happened last week. My dog Digger got ripped into by another lurcher last Thursday. The dog ripped into my dog on the farm where i was feeding our pheasnts and chased after him.. He was no were to be found on the farm and had made his way to my truck some 4 miles away parked at my mothers house. "Clever bugger". He looked fine when I pulled up but after checking him over I noticed his scrotum had been virtually torn off. With my 6 year old son at my side in bits at the state of our dog I got him down to the vets, where they had to remove his testicles and get him sewn up ASAP. He had lost a vast amount of blood and had ran his body weight off ( adrenalin I suppose). The vet said the skin they had sewn back on may die which it has and he is now going to be left with this horrendous open wound. I have spoke to the owner of the other dog (a lady) and she has offered to pay my vet bill, and said her dog will have to be pts. Here's a few pics of my lad he seems happy enough but it's upsetting.

tubba 38 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) The Digger is looking a lot better today, after yesterday's op of removing the stiches and dead skin from the wound under GA. The wound is now open and looks a mess but is starting to granulate well and has started to heal. Keeping his lampshade on has been a task and looked to be causing him some distress. So a friend of mine gave me a different collar to try which he seems much happier with. He has a great appetite and is drinking plenty. Hopefully he will pull through!
