He had tried to chew his way out of the crate and got the metal crate embedded in his gum. She could not separate the crate from the dog and ended up going to the emergency vet with dog attached to crate. The vet said they may have to put him to sleep. My daughter paniced and he said "lets see what we can do." After a lot of work and the loss of several teeth plus a lot of stitches, they got the dog from the crate. She had to watch him as she thought he was dying. He would not eat or drink so she had to force him. Finally, on the fifth day he started eating and drinking again on his own. She learned her lesson never to leave him in a crate when the firecrackers are going off. |
Oh my, what a very sad story that is. So glad the pup came through it all okay, must have been horrible for your daughter to see.
