poor haley dog

so i get home from NY and haley has a scab on her chest. and yesterday morning she blew her scab which had absessed, and allowed her to start gushing blood. so i took her to the vet and at first look they thought she had been shot. she had a puncture wound about 5-6 inches deep but they didn't see anything in the xray. yeah it happened about 5 or 6 days ago cuz it had healed over, and got infected inside and gassy and what-not which blew her scab yesterday morning
they found the hair that had been ripped off her skin in about 2.5 inches. so they cleaned it all out, irrigated it. gave her lots of antibiotics and sent her home with an open wound so it could drain. and with rymadil and antibiotics
there was no bullet, so we have no clue what punctured her. the doc doesn't either but whatever it was, missed all organs and joints... by far. so she said haley was a lucky doggie
my beetle became a doggie ambulance! at least my car seats are leather, it was easily cleaned up... but toby's truck is all cloth... so that would be a pain. but even he said she would be worth it! he loves this dog so much.

I was so worried. the day after i get back, my baby goes to the doggie hospital. i missed her so much.

OY! Glad she's ok. That's really weird tho. But, on the other hand, dogs can be crazy and get into stuff we would never imagine.
