If there was only evidence of vomitus in his mouth, I suspect a larger amount would be found at the point of contact with an electric cord, or between there and his path to return to his kennel. Also, if you sat on him hard enough to do these types of injuries, you would have noticed something wrong when you checked him over, or at least within a half hour or so of the incident. Sorry, This has bothered me since I first read your post, and this is JMHO.
Sending prayers for you both... |

Thanks, I did read that (for once!) I'm just saying that the injuries appear to me to be more severe than being sat on, (not that being sat on isn't severe) and I guess that depends too on the size of the dog, size of the owner, length of time owner spent sitting on the dog, how hard the owner sat down on the dog, and what type of chair they were in (padded or solid wood/plastic/metal). And I can't get past the head trauma... when that occurs it's the brain's immediate reaction to blunt force is to swell, that wouldn't begin hours later... it would be evident/dog would be showing symptoms within the hour.... Sitting on a dog would cause more crushing type injuries and I am guessing (visualizing) immediate difficulty breathing, walking, etc. The OP said dog appeared fine, DH said dog appeared fine...
