I paid all of it. Thank you for your help I will keep you posted. Have a happy New Year! Out of the blue. Ocean the border collie then lies down by my feet and guess who lies down right beside him- yes Benny! We took him to the vet an hour after the incident, and they said he’s fine, they gave him a shot (because there was bruising around his neck) and we have to come back for two more shots. My old dog who had major behavioral issues was actually fine with the baby and would sniff but then go off into his "place" and hide a lot. I have kept him in the house last two days and though he can walk he acts like it is a very weird and awkward thing. I suspect that the incident happened because of raw-hide bone. I worry about internal injuries. The end result of Natalie’s condition is that she has broken ribs in mutltiple areas and out of placement. Why? Thanks for the complements. The technician suggested the lump is an abscess and he does have a slight fever. A few months ago, about a year after the shih tzu was brought into the house, our 11 year old dog attacked the smaller one 3 different times and then for 3-4 months nothing. $100 and then $300 is insanely cheap in my region so be lucky the price was so low. They might even need to sedate him to do this at this late point. they said there was no blood and seemed okay but were rightfully upset. It might take a few weeks to months to heal. Her mannerisms are chill, (like she’s depressed and in pain) I called the vet and they basically told me they were booked for a week, and oddly enough said because of her age she may not recover if there is internal injury that needs surgery. I would suspect his healing might be a little slower, but he should recover if the problem is fixed. she nips. But since there is such a difference in size – result was so bad. I know you’re not a behavioral expert, but any thoughts on why my 130 lb. I am sick with grief, not only grieving the fact that she was injured at all but now I’m wondering if I made the wrong decision and having her put to sleep . No woman “asks” or “instigates” to be raped you moron! Finally she let go of Marlee. All neutered. Your records can be faxed in 5 minutes and any vet will take you on with your pets. Showed up to a yard full of dogs. Sincerely , Great news and good to hear you are taking such good care of him. I’m so distraught over this situation. There’s no emergency Vets where I live at. She has been treated by an emergency vet and given meds to help while we wait as the bite was in a place that has caused her severe damage she can no longer see or walk very well she can at least walk some but her equilibrium is off. After reading comments on her I will be taking her to my vet, coz they’ll let me pay it off. I’ve tried search the web but it’s always ‘take him to the vet’. we have kept nala outside in a room where she can't be near bella but idk what to do with her. It’s been over 24 hours and it has gone down some, but not to where it was before I left him yesterday. I have zero faith in their ability to fix an infected bite wound, broken leg and ruptured bladder. And what will be required in regards to caring for his drains as he is healing? So anyway before we brought another dog into the house we had the 2 meet, they played and played and had a great time. These animals usually head quickly after the drains are out. Talk to your parents please. Also, we plan on taking the pit to the vet to see what could have provoked such an out-of-character occurrence. Depends if the baby tooth is broken at the base and gets infected or not. My husky would not let go. We went to go inside and both dogs know they have to sit and clam down before we go in. A little dog wouldn’t have. Lets hope the puppy was not that badly hurt and he will be ok, there is a good chance of that. When he came home his rough was soaking wet with saliva as well as his haunches. Inter-dog aggression occurs much more frequently in non-neutered male dogs. When mine barked at the little one as he backed away another big dog that was walking with the little one, presumably part of the same household as the little one that challenged us came after my big dog. What risk is there for the dogs who were attacked from the pit bull’s bites and/saliva? I just kept moving quickly with my pup to get her away. At the least you can get her some pain relief and anti-inflammatory medicine. As incredible! If there is more air or it is not getting significantly better in a day or so, I would certainly bring him back to the ER or a specialist. No ER near. IF she continues not to eat or drink bring her back to a vet for more IV fluids. I feel like now I am going to be scared all the time though not seeing aggression really toward shih poo. I would agree owning a pet is a commitment and a privileged not a right. My next door neighbors large dog who is aggressive attacked a toy poodle. I would consider a basket muzzle for the mastiff if you are concerned. He is suffering and needs urgent medical attention. There are possibly excessive things that can be done, but since there is never certainty in medicine it is impossible to determine what is necessary and what is maybe not. Good luck. This is not ideal. Therefore, he reacts in a way which may seem agressive. I imagine she is in a lot of pain and needs a vet visit to help her. I have spent $10,000 trying to find out what has been wrong with my poodle in the last six years. Good luck. Sorry to hear this, but there is no way to know. Dog Attacked My Dog. The big one walked over picked up the little one by her neck and slammed her to the ground a couple times. Our dog is 12 years old, a medium sized Spitz mix. Our largest dog was a Black Lab who lived to the great age of 17 but I don’t have experience with really big and powerful dogs. Got some antibiotics and analgesia and orders for some rest for the next few days! I wish I could help more. Sounds like you were both lucky. Lab cross was at first freaked out by the shih poo who always wants to hump him. They took him back to give him an antibiotic and steroid shots, but he got much worse just after getting to the back. Now, she is walking, but only with her three legs and is still very traumatized (her tail is not ‘up’ like usual). One week ago today he was attacked by a Lab. I cant say for sure, but neutering him would be my fist step. Linda so sorry how is your dog doing. The lab wants to have all the toys. Two weeks ago, the smaller dog had a dental cleaning in the morning and got into a fight at night. A few months back, both of our dogs had been attacked by a pitbull. Im serious! The boxer has been sharpening his teeth on rocks for many years and luckily, his teeth got blunt, so there were no wounds. It’s 6 days later and he’s walking/eating/drinking/pooping/socializing normally. Now it’s been about 3 hours and she is just laying there whining and crying. Dog training links, discussions and questions are encouraged and content related to other species is welcome too. She had no lung damage, but has drain tubes in and is stitched back up. It was on a leash, by the way, and fortunately its owner is my good friend and neighbor who is an extremely nice person. But she eats grass whenever she can sneak out of the house, then dry retches. I would think the small dog had some severe thoracic trauma and possible neck and back damage after the big dog attack. Do you have an idea based on my description of is just swollen or if it may be something worse? Ask a neighbor for a ride, call a local vet and ask if any of their clients live close. We are lucky to have multiple ER vet specialists, near us. He’s also shaking and he gets startled easily. Wow, that is terrible! They were taken to the animal hospital, examined, and released after cleaning of wounds and antibiotics. He’s peed but not pooped in 3 days. He wouldn’t explain to me what he meant by fail he just kept repeating himself and basically refused to treat our little Chihuahua. I was so in shock i didn’t think of it at the time but should i have given the people my number incase the dog was harmed? Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Thank you for the kind words, once again! My little chihuahua always causes problems. My husband grabbed the lab before he could do to Mich damage but she was bleeding a little out the aide of her lip a scratch by her left front foot and she won’t let me touch her ear but she’s happy as can be now that we are home and is walking fine. She said not to do it, we were making the decision out of haste and we needed to sleep on it. Good luck. Poison? I checked the internet as soon as I got home to research on what treatment I could give my bichon maltese and some says that even it’s just a scratch we still need to see a vet because of a chance that he can have rabies due to the dogs saliva. If there are REALLY no ER vets near you there is a serious limit as to what you can do. She was understandably terrified! For those of you with training comments all of my dogs are fully trained however, you can not remove a dog’s instincts or hold it against them. usually she would run around the house, and jump on people and just be a playful pup, but now all she does is stay away from everybody, and just lay down.. that night i picked her up and i saw that she has a fat neck, looking like a double chin, i guess something is swelling up. Fluid intake will not effect the fluid in his skin. She is running around and acting like she normally does. I do not know about local homeopathic care. In person is way better too, so have your vet check it out. Homeopathic medication have limited use in acute and severe injury. The vet advised for us to do surgery, and they put a plate and stitched her up. Thank you! You are clearly concerned and should be about his leg and defecation. When dogs get into a fight, it is very often a big dog attacking a smaller dog. Many common antibiotics will help with bite wounds. Is there anything that can be done at all? My teacup chihuahua was just attacked by a very large dog. We decided to adopt Princess. 12/07/2019. She has a 4 inch laceration and torn muscles in her neck. When I hold her I hear a gargling sound and she looks to be breathing deep although there are no puncture wounds around her lungs or lower torso . Might be just bruising and pain, or something worse. If you dog is now lethargic I would go back tot the vet and get a re-exam to see what is going on. All too often bad behaviour in toy breeds is just laughed off and even sometimes rewarded . It might have been confusing because I was talking about the deceased dog also. I had one for 18.5 years. Needless to say after I caught the bigger dog that night I installed a gate between my family room and kitchen for when I am gone. Second, should I be using Collasate as a dressing or just let it be natural? Luckily, there are no major injuries. Usually ER vets only run about 10-15% more than regular vets, BUT catching a problem early can sometimes save you multiples of that…… you are the ultimate decider. COuld be either. Wow, just wow. Our 7 YO Mini Dachshund was attack 3 days ago by a larger dog. See My comments on the continuation of this post. ???? I feel terrible that this could have happened who knows how many times while I worked long hours. Good antibiotics usually kick in in 12-24 hours. The paralyzed rear legs is a serious concern with a Dachshund as they are so prone to disk herniation and that is most likely what happened. The life expectancy of your little girl should not be shortened by this. How do you recommend breaking up a dog fight in the future when nothing you do works? I took her to the vet but she had fluid in her lungs and had to be put down. My dog which is 75lbs ran to her dog. 1. Sorry for your loss. The vet consulted a neurologist who had limited experience of LDBD spinal issues, but said that urine retention was positive and time will tell, they also recommended diazepam. As a retired dog trainer I never go without a leash. There were no puncture wounds. My pomapoo puppy was attacked by a bulldog cross for absolutely no reason both were on leash passing each other no growling aggression nothing. Sorry to hear. We can’t get the antibiotics until tomorrow…will it be okay to wait to start the amoxicillin that long? I have an four month puppy and he has an older sister who always tries to get him and yesterday she did. I don’t want my sons dog at my house. If he is acting abnormally then you might want a second opinion. I dont want to find her a new home but I am afraid it will happen again. They are animals. is there more i should be doing? You can not question the bill. However, the blood was coming out as bubbles. Just you. He may have a leg injury also. I can’t get to a Vet til morning. She had a rough start. Not an easy task. It all deends if you have a specialty group in town. He doesn’t have any viable injuries other than he is now missing his right upper K-9. When they see each other in the yards they bark at each other, I’ve gotten my dog a bark collar it’s taken 1 shock and me putting the collar on without the battery and he won’t even bark or jump up to see if the Schnauzer is outside. You should, where possible, steer clear of a strange dog’s territory as they do not like their space to be invaded. Then awhile later she made another mess. The border collie has lunged at my little dog twice before and actually another little dog when it came to food thats why I was nervous. gave him pain meds and antibiotic. I totally agree with you. Her nose was cold and wet. For goodness sake. But I’m so scared with those street dogs, because I don’t know if they’re vaccinated. My family and I live in an apartment complex and there is a small walkway that connects the back gates to the laundry room. What would you do if it was your child or 90 year old grandmother? However, some dogs can recover with time and TLC with jaw fractures (some, not all). Attack dogs are known to attack at any moment without warning. My boyfriend tried to kick it away. he other puncture wounds seem sealed with a scab the next morning. It sounds like an abscess brewing. Some dog owners may stumble upon problems with their younger dogs attacking older, sick dogs. The pit was put outside and pomchi to the emergency vet. Sure I am attracted to women sexually. What should I do? Weh, how’s Pom temperament? Obviously no more dog park for us, but do I have an officially aggressive dog now? On June 16th a day after that question was asked my dog got attacked outside my place for no reason whatsoever and unfortunately my dog passed If there if there is any damage to her trachea or esophagus then there is very little you can do without surgery. I think you are still in early days and you need to let the shock and trauma wash away a little more before making a full evaluation. Get her to a vet. If they’re known to be attack dogs and have no training they shouldn’t be taken to dog parks with other smaller dogs or any dogs.
