Honestly, my life this week!
I had just arrived at the farm tonight and my phone rang. Dad, who had taken the dogs out just before left, says in his usual relaxed way, says, “I’m having a bit of a problem with JD. She’s collapsed.”
Cue me dropping everything, leaping in the car and speeding the mile down the road to where he said they were. I arrive to find JD doing a very good dead impression, Dad standing there bemused and my two little dogs looking anxious.
Anyway, after a bit of investigation and Dad explaining what had happened, we realised she had a twig wedged in her upper jaw. Dad said she’s been lying on the grass chewing a stick while the little ones ran around, and the next thing she started pawing at her face with blood appearing out of her mouth, then flopped down on the ground, on her side. Managed to get her up, when the pawing at her face began again, before she fell down again. We managed to get her in the car, rang the emergency vet en route and swung by the house to drop the two little dogs off home.
JD calmed down in the car and by the time we got to the vets she was walking fine and didn’t seem so distressed. Vet examined her and saw the stick but said he’d have to either sedate or put her under to get it out. She’s 14, but we had no other option.
Thankfully her heart is amazingly strong for an old girl so he was fairly confident. As it was, they managed it with sedation, and 45 minutes later we were on our way home with a very sleepy and confused dog
£500 lighter and minus the stick.
Our other dog cost us £120 at the normal vets today aswell, not to mention Tia earlier in the week.
I shall be selling body parts soon!
