Thank you all!
Rusty is back to his hyper loveable self today. He has been in and out and runny and playing w/ the other big dogs, etc. It is chilly and windy here today, so they are all inside right now. It is like nothing is wrong with him...they are such tough dogs!
We have walked all of our fences and there is nothing - most of our fences are the square chicken wire type fence w/ barb wire (if that makes sense) - and we also looked under some of our equipment, etc and nothing...didn't see any blood or fur or where they may have dug under one.
Gerald said that the vet said that was the first thing she thought it was caused from...the bumper of a car....I don't know though...I have never had a dog get hit by a bumper or anything.....
Anyway....she assured us it was not from another animal...so we do feel better about that...since we have so many big wild animals around.
Thanks again for all of your kind comments and your thoughts and prayers.
I hope that when he goes back on Wednesday, everything will look good and be healing up nicely!
