Remy's big brother, a 8 year old Lhasa apso has had a bad week.
We were visiting dh's sister and while walking Sammy went up to a fence to say "hi" to the dog behind the fence. Well the dog managed to get enough of his face through the fence and bite sammy's ear. Poor sammy started screaming.. yelping.. I ran up and picked up sammy. It was such a bad accident, I was walking three dogs and Sammy pulled the leash out of my hand. It was blood, but I really did not see the bite till the next day. I though he scarped Sammy's face.. he is so harry I could did not see the bite. The next day I noticed the hair around his ear was stiff.
Also, I noticed one of Sammy's eyes looked "off".... like he may have an infection.
So to the vet we go...
1.) Sammy has a ulcer on his eye. Small.. but there.
2.) Sammy had three puncher wounds on his ear flap.
3.) Sammy had an ear infection.
We have a week of several meds and his eye will must be checked again in 5 days.
I feel so bad about the dog bite... I feel it is my fault because I dropped the leash. I am glad it wasn't Remy... the dog would have killed her!
I am glad I noticed the eye.. hopefully caught it early.
Now.. the dam ear infections.. I clean his ears, I pull the hair out. I don't understand why he keeps getting ear infections!!
ok... I vented.. feel a little better
