Sam always is a sensitive und nervous dog. This was even worse last week. It was a hard time for all of us. The wounds must have itched really bad, Sam always tried to lick them. When we made him wear the cone he couldn’t reach them, but he was also very depressed and barely moved. When he didn’t wear the cone, we had to be very careful that he leaves the wounds alone and were very tense. On top of all of this, he didn’t want to take his meds, and the vet had prescribed antibiotics and pain killers… Well, at least the pain med was a syrup and easier to swallow for him.
However, the wounds healed well, and today the staples were removed. Since then Sam is much calmer and his usual self again. Let’s hope there will be no further complications.
Glad to hear he’s mended!

Getting the staples out made such a big difference. They must have caused Sam some discomfort, but of course they had to stay in for a week.

Hope Sam makes a full recovery!

After the staples were out his mood improved big time. But it was a rough week for him, poor guy.

Aww poor little guy, it must be awful knowing how uncomfortable and sad he’s been with it all. It’s heartbreaking when our pets aren’t well because they don’t understand and we can’t ask where it hurts and it’s just not easy at all. Hopefully the syrupy meds will continue to work their magic and it’ll be onwards and upwards now the staples are out. I bet he’s glad for that! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Once the staples were out he almost stopped licking the wounds.
Yes, I often would like to be able to speak with our furbabies, sometimes it’s just hard to see them hurting and suffer.
Have a great weekend, Caz xo

That he is. It was a hard week for him, and I hope being attacked by the neighbour’s dog won’t have a permanent effect on his soul, but we don’t know that now. xo

I was wondering that, whether he’s effected by what happened to him 😦 …and that healed bite looked like it was bad. Sounds like your neighbour’s dog is dangerous. xo
