Thanks Mike .......

It's daft isn't it, but I have lost my appettite completely ....... she's just a dog after all ......... but those who have had dogs know there is no such thing as 'Just a Dog'

Ms Gooner 1

- awww, good luck at the vets - I'm sure she'll be just fine, maybe just a little shocked still??
Keep the post uptodate!

Good point (sic) well made - with the amount of rain weve had of late its surprising a large stick would be able to penetrate the ground so readily, isnt it

pslewis

Went to Vets, I have now taken her to their large premises about 20 miles away and left her there ..... in her 8 years she has never been away from us.

They are going to sedate her, put her on a drip and have a look down her throat/windpipe.

They will ring me tonight with the verdict

RUDDY

so they were all right then pete! theres no need to be rude when your fellow scoobynet freinds are trying to help. i know you dont like to listen but they all really do know best lol! had you took her yesterday she would be at home with you now!
hope she gets better

Snazy

Dont be silly Ruddy, only PSL is allowed to be sarcastic, arrogant, self rightious or just plain pig headed when replying, not the other people on SN lol

Hope she is ok and home soon Pete, and they indeed find no need to treat her throat.

Hope it goes ok

Can't help but feel there are people here, who would relish Peter's dog been poorly, so they could then tell him "told you so". Very sad!

Snazy

That would be just plain wrong if people were thinking that way.
I know what Pete means about losing his appettite

RUDDY

i doubt it oldfella im sure everyone would rather pete and his dog were back to there good old selves! he wants the reactions he gets! thats why he writes it like he does! if anything he wanted to say to all on here "I told ya so" about his slapstick approach

pslewis

Just had a call from the Vets.

They have operated and removed some wood splinters from her windpipe .... some punctured the windpipe and there are some air bubbles in her chest cavity ....

She is on a drip and anti-biotics - hopefully an infection does not set in her chest or it gets really serious, thats what they say.

But, they are hopeful of a full recovery ....... thanks for all the well wishes above and as for those who just want to snipe - shame on you, it's a disgraceful way to act - even to pslewis!

little-ginge

Aw, poor baby.. I hope she recovers quickly, and is soon back home with you and Mrs PSL

pslewis

She is a very fit dog .... she is 8 years old but really lean and strong - she isn't a lard-**** like me ...... she'll pull through I'm sure.

Aw poor doggy That's not unlike what happened to my friend's dog. The main part of the stick came out but left some small pieces behind which couldn't be seen. Once they were removed and he'd been on a course of antibiotics he made a full recovery, let's hope your girl does the same

little-ginge

I'm sure she will - she is in the best place, and they will soon get her back in A1 condition..ready for you & your lard-**** to take her out on walkies again

RUDDY

sorry to here that sir! hope she gets well soon and remember, no more sticks for your beloved doggy

Half of you are soft enough to do so I think!!! So therefore I have substituted my own acc details instead. All proceeds will go to much nicer dog charities -' OES' (who need much less BS attention seeking and much more grooming )

Now grow up

I didn't think - even you - could drop to such depths of insensitivity ...... quite an amazing post which shows the level of your intelligence and empathy.

Diesel

How very dare you! I love dogs and a good yarn equally

DCI Gene Hunt

Amazingly insensitive posts on this thread!....

Anyway, back on topic; best wishes for the pooch Pete... hope all goes well

All the best to poochie. Lessons learnt on this thread for all I think.

Leslie

Glad you are going to the vet with here Pete, she does not sound right to me and it is worth having a proper check. Hopefully it is just a bit sore after the accident with no complications.

Might stop some of the childish trolling too!

Give her a pat for me

Les

davegtt

Id only be concerned the dog might get an infection, best to get it checked for peace of mind other than that I cant see what else could be wrong.

edit, didnt read alot of the thread because of some of the idiotic posts but just scrolled up to see Petes last post.

Least poochy is in good hands now. Good luck

Best of luck to the dog !!

They are strong GSD's so hopefully a full recovery

Shark Man

See....A sunday vet wouldn't have done anything. So at the very earliest the dog could have been sedated for a "proper" look would have been monday (depending on whats already on their list).

So all this dragging into the vets on a Sunday would have been in vain, as they wouldn't do anything until Monday anyway - when teh rest of the staff are there to help handle the sedation, inspection and operation.

Seem A&E at a human NHS hospital works on the same tact (unless your on the verg of croaking it)...just much longer waiting lists, a semi-stable human with throat splinters would probably have to wait 'til Tuesday or Wednesday!

pslewis

Thanks for the best wishes (from most) ....... I have contacted the Vet, she is up and has eaten something this morning which is good.

There is still a big concern over the air in her chest - which is very serious apparently.

4 weeks of Anti-Biotics, few days of painkillers, go back in 48 hours time for check up ......... after watching her at home closely.

Pick her up tonight!

Best wishes for the mutley Pete.
Same thing happened to our old pup and guess what, we took her straight to the vet, they operated and saved her life. Why the hell you thought you knew best though, sickens me beyond belief!

Lesson learnt, if dog in pain ------- GO TO THE FECKING VETS!

Graz

And don't throw sticks for dogs, get a proper dog toy Could have all been avoided in the first place.

Devildog

Good news and fingers crossed Pete

It is most certainly not your dog's fault you can be a twonk wth alarming regularity

BTW - to Shark Man,

Many vets will conduct operations at whatever time of night or day it is, especially if its critical. I, for one, would not use a vet unless I knew they had such facilities in house. At the very least I would no one who did, and make sure I was registered there.

Its only common sense to know what your vet can, and cannot do at any given time.

We had a 7 year old newfoundland who would have died of blood poisoning had the vet not undertaken an emergency hysterectomy(sp?) at 10.00 pm on a Sunday night. I know of a number of similar stories, including taking the inlaws dog to the vet for numerous stitches to a severe laceration to her front leg on Christmas day.

No one can accurately make a diagnosis by 'phone. Being there in person is the only way to know whether something can wait till the next working day or not.

Anyway, what matters is that she's (what's her name Pete?) ok. Lets hope she continues to make a strong recovery.
