Dolly Cuts her Back



Friday night was tough. We were supposed to have dinner with our friends Ben and Chuck, that we haven't seen for months. Instead, I spent 3 hours at the Vet with Dolly. All was fine until we pulled into the driveway at home after coming home from work and Doggy Day Care. I opened the truck door, and Franklin jumped out first, and Dolly next, but she tried running underneath the door (following Franklin) instead of running around it. SO, the point of the bottom of the door gouged into her leaving a bleeding, oozing 1-1 1/2" wound and ripping off fur.
I immediately called vets here in Bowie, MD to be turned away. So, I drove Dolly to her old vet the next town over (and hit massive traffic). She had it shaved, cleaned and stapled. She's on antibiotics for that in addition to her urinary tract infection, the poor baby.

She was sooo patient at the vet for THREE HOURS waiting. She hasn't even touched it or licked it either. She's the best baby. Hopefully, October will be much better for her, after all that and next week's surgery.
