Just returned from the vet with Suki.Walking her in the woods(and pouring rain) this p.m. she reappeared after one of her usual forays in search of rabbits or squirrels limping slightly.We didn't take very much attention as she regularly returns like this.Then to our horror found a stick sticking out of her leg.On closer examination it had gone completely through her leg.
She walked home without any problem and did not seem in much pain.
Took her immediately to the vets who operated straight away and she is now back home and sleeping off her sedative.
Although she is on antibiotics just keeping our fingers crossed there is no infection.
Awwww Clive poor Suki, hope the wee soul will be ok. Wonder how on earth that happened to her. Both Floyd and Neo love to run off and rummage in the woods, Neo especially always has bits of stick stuck to him due to his feathering, must keep closer eye on the bits of stick!!!!
Let us know how she gets on please.
Ouch! But isn't that just typical of dogs. She just walked home. If that had been a two legged creature an ambulance would have been called, and a month in bed on the cards
So far so good,Suki appears to be recovering well.
Not too happy about being on her lead whilst on her walks but we are being strict until Friday when she goes back to the vet for a post-op checkup.Starting to lick the area as she has not got a protective "umbrella" on her neck.We stop her as much as possible but I believe as well that a little self help doesn't do any harm in the healing process.
The vet did wash the wound very thoroughly with sterile saline solution so this will help with the antibiotics to prevent infection I hope.
She is amazing really - no limping and she is already jumping up and down onto her favourite chair!
The Avatar is Chester our faithful old dog who died last year and I cannot bear to replace him.
Below is Suki waiting for the train at Delamere Forest to go into Chester 8 days after we picked her up in May 2009 from the dog rescue centre.
She behaved impeccably on the train and in Chester.

I hope she recovers quickly and also hope no infection sets in.
