I have never seen or heard of this happening to a dog before. Glad to hear that everything is going to work out fine for Hank. Probably can't say the same thing for your wallet though.:smiley_depressive:

Huh, I was feeling bad after my $150 vet bill cause my dog has sensitive skin and can't keep from getting ear infections. $150 is a drop in the bucket compared to what yours is gonna be...hope I am wrong. Did they do X-rays? The stitching up and such isn't anymore work than fixing one so hopefully it won't be TOO bad of a bill.

HOLY CRAP! That makes me sick to my stomach just looking at it. Gosh damn thats nasty!

Here is what the doc did for him. Put him under, cut an opening at the top of the stick, removed stick, and put a "drain" in it. The drain material looks like the rubbery material they use for rehab of injuries. Sutures around the drain, 2 different pills to take and some liquid in a syringe which I believe is for the pain. He is a chicken most of the time, but took all this like a prize fighter. Never whimpered, whelped, and only whined a little bit. Tough s.o.b.

As for me, I did cry a little bit as I wrote the check today. $320. Dang.

Here are some pics of the finished product. I hear that bitches dig scars!

Pictures of his stick next to a bottle of soap for reference, his drain, and his cone head! He ripped this off and Drake helped me put it back on him. Looked like we were wrestling a bag of squirrels. I had to put it back on him twice since. It is now held together with duct tape!

If someone would have had that on camera they could have made some money... he didn't want that thing back on for sure! :smiley_crocodile: Good idea on the duct tape!

Put a dropper full of tea-tree oil around the wound. Not on it because it'll burn, just around it.... He will not be licking or sticking his nose anywhere around it. Works like a charm when your dog has a sore / hotspot / or anything you don't want them licking. He should get used to the Elizabethan collar today though. But they're a pain to keep checking.

Duct tape was still holding up this afternoon. Looks like he was giving it a run for it's money though. lol

Ah...the many uses for duct tape lol.

Poor little fella lmao

Gave him his meds again tonight and had to reinforce the duct tape. Pretty soon you won't be able to see the clear e-collar, just a 10lb duct tape ceremonial head dress around Hank's head. lol
