| My baby is in the hospital Last night, while I was helping my husband put something together in the garage, my 5 year old accidently swung a bat at a ball and hit Bowzer, who was behind him in the head/throat, on the backswing. (He was swinging it golf-club style) The poor little thing was instantly knocked unconscious. I was so scared. I picked him up and I could barely feel his little heart beating. His tongue was turning grey/white and he wasn't moving. We all jumped in the car and started on our way to the Pet Hospital. After about 10 minutes, he finally came to. He lost control of his bowels and his bladder on the way to the ER. The traffic is really bad down here and it took over an hour to get to the hospital. He's alive, but he's not right. He won't open his mouth very much, his tongue sticks out a little and he's drooling. They kept him overnight, did blood work (all normal) and x-rayed his body (normal). For some reason they can't x-ray his head unless he's unconscious, but they can't anesthesize him right now. I feel so sick. I've been crying for hours. My kids are a mess. I keep telling my 5 year old that it was just an accident and not to be sad, but I know he feels awful. He's at our regular vet's office today, and they think he has a fractured or broken jaw. They won't know for sure until they can x-ray him, but they are waiting another day before anesthesizing him. I keep re-playing the scene in my head and all I keep thinking about was how I thought he was dead. I just can't stop crying; I feel so bad for both my kids and my little Bowzer. |

| Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry to hear of this accident! Your family must be so devastated. But, these babies can be strong as little oxes and pull thru all sorts of things. Give your son lots of love and attention cause I know he feels terrible. The word ACCIDENT is in our dictionary because they happen and we don't mean to hurt anyone. Tell him we are all praying for him and his doggie. |
