..and that's two - hoping there won't be a third. It was like Animal Hospital round our place on Sunday - poor old Murfs managed to slice part of the pad of his paw completely off! We don't know how, there was no glass or anything around but he was away in the woods so it could have been anything.
We were at one of Emily's horse shows so we stopped at the burger bar for lunch before we ended up taking him home to the emergency vet cos it wouldn't stop bleeding - I think we were getting a reputation for cruel and heartless owners given that we were standing enjoying a burger while Murphy at our feet was bleeding. To be fair we didn't realise it was so bad til it was still bleeding when we got home.
45 minutes at the vets later we arrived home laden down with disgruntled dog (head in lampshade again), MORE painkillers and MORE antibiotics!
I was going to post a photo of him, head in (badly beaten) lampshade and yellow-and-green bandage on foot, looking VERY sorry for himself.. but I've lost the cable to get it off the camera.
Then the cat decided to get in on the act that evening and threw up everywhere - out of sympathy I presume (or a desire to put a spanner in the works of me serving dinner, one of the two)
