Hubby is on the way to Vet as I type this! Our "pack" of dogs were mooching round outside & I suddenly became aware of one "screaming" in distress....we rushed out to find young Lab dog stuck in hedge - screaming horribly! Got him out to find that he must have got a stray bit of wire hooked under his eyelid & has torn it back trying to get out  Thankfully his eye looks OK - but hes torn back his eyelid rather & will need a stitch or two  He seemed very unconcerned about the whole thing once he was out of the hedge - I gave him a good dose of Rescue Remedy & sent him on his way to the Vet with hubby!!  Dogs - don't you just love them!! Will have to call him old scar face now!! |

Is he back yet? I hope they fixed him up & he's not too uncomfortable poor boy.

Thank you both for your concern! Hubby arrived back about 3/4 hr ago with one very groggy doggy! Vet had to sedate him well & had to stitch at the outerside of the eye lid (ear side) & also the inner side - he had torn both back! He certainly did a good job tearing wise Vet had to do lots of tiny stitches (thankfully the disolving sort! ) to patch him up! His eye - amazingly was undamaged  Poor dog is now fitted with large plastic collar thing - to stop him getting at his eye. Hes just so sleepy!! Hubby just woken him up to go out for last pee before bed |

Update! Dog perfectly happy with platice "bucket" guard on his head - demolishing everything in sight as he dashes about! his war wound look pretty awful - looks like hes been 20 rounds with a boxer! Cleaned off the gunk this morning & looks like the stitches have held - terribly swollen round the whold eye area though! He seems to be able to see OK with the eye - thankfully! Vet coming on Fri to check him. Just think he has been ever so lucky to keep his eye............ |

Ooooh, my stomach turned just reading about that injury - I am a bit squeamish about eyes!!
Glad to hear he is all stitched up and that his eye is OK. Must have been dreadful when it happened.
Big hugs to doggy!
