All of a sudden I heard these awful screams and I knew Chipper was in trouble. He comes running to me and I scoop him up and notice he has a huge gapping hole in his chest. I rushed him to the vets. While Chipper was running up the hill, he was impaled by a fallen cedar tree. The vet said that he took slivers of cedar out of his chest. Fortunately besides a short hospital stay, a drain and stictches he was fine. It was very scarey for his mommy. |
Oh my gosh! Your story is so scary. I see myself fainting in the floor to find an injury like this on one of my girls.
Glad you were able to keep it together and he is okay.
