wild rover 548 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Whent out this morn with my 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy 2 year old bitch, I let her of as usual , only walked about 200 yds when she jumped over a small clump of grass and gave out a slight yelp, at first I thought she had jumped on a thorn but when I looked at her foot she was pumping blood from the top of her leg (kind of in the arm pit area) I looked again and it was wide open I gripped the leg to try and stop the blood, picked her up and ran back to the car , I phoned the wife and got her to phone the vet, at the moment she is being stitched up and I have to go later to collect her, its amazing she never murmered whilst I was holding her and trying to drive the car! but the depth of the cut turned my stomach . The cause was a piece of barbed wire about 6 inches long which was in this clump of grass. Strange cos the nearest fence is about 1/4 mile away. looks like the season is over before it begins. cheers David. These type of wounds can heal quick, if you give rest, had a couple similar over years, hope you get a speedy recovery, good luck. Quote Link to post
