Lawgirl Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 So I got a somewhat panicked message from my OH yesterday afternoon. He had been out watering the garden, and noticed the other dogs were paying a lot of attention to our George's rear end. This is entirely unusual, so he went and checked to see what was up, and found that there was blood under George's tail. So we managed to get into our vet that afternoon, thinking prostate problem, internal bleeding, badly infected anal gland... In the end, there was a shallow penetration wound under the tail, so it has been washed out and he is now on antibiotics to prevent infection and some painkillers. As near as we can tell, George, who likes to poop in cover, backed up into a bush preparing to poop and managed to stab himself in the ass with a branch. And he is actually the smartest out of our four BCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentleLake Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 ^^ This. Stupid branches. Probably good the other dogs alerted you about it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 The vet was saying it is the weirdest place for a wound that she had ever seen, and a definite first. The things they do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy - and what a relief for you guys! Trying not to laugh, not doing very well. If it makes George feel any better, I sat on a wasp once. I was about 9 yrs old or so. My family had the same type of response. I hope he heals up soon! Ruth & Gibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Elle Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Good thing he didn't do that here. He might have backed into a huge cactus! Glad he is going to be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Parkey Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 This is why I've never planted any agaves or yuccas in the back yard, even though I love them. Long ago we had a dog that liked to hang "ornaments" in landscape plants, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
