motavated Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 My bro walked outside to feed Our dog Delila. She like always was happy to see him. But this time when my brother went to rub her and pet her. My bro felt like she was wet on her side. This is what he found... Cop can't take a report since there is no proof of someone doing it. Nothing was done other than taking her to the vet. It's really deep... Finger deep.... I am trying to figure about what you guys think. Was she hurt by someone? Or did she get stuck somewhere... I am so going to do something about this shit... Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Do you have any sharp fences? Barbed wire? Cut-off utility poles? I've had dogs tear themselves on that stuff before. My old dog Cobi once took a stick in her leg that we couldn't find for three days. Hard to say with a wound like that. Could have been someone, may have been some metal part or something common that's around but was overlooked. I'd look at anything about that high around your yard and just check for hair and blood. If someone did get her, it's hard to say with what. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 yard to tell it does look like she got snagged on somthing look around in the day light like hrh said i hope shes ok shes a beautiful dog Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 looks like our old boxer when it ran under parked car chasing ( playing ) my brothers little dog. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 ^^ what he said. its a rough cut ie not a knife ect. if it was done by a person it was with a stick/bar/ect or something of the sort what ever it was looks like the dog was moving forward into an object or the swing was from head to tail direction, you can see that piece of missing fur by the start of the cut where it dug in and then broke the skin Quote Link to comment
NOTES... Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Oh shit.. Sorry to hear about your dog... :( Hope she gets better.. Defenetly looks like she got snagged on sumthin.. NOt really a knife like ^^^ they have said... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Is she fenced in or free to roam? If fenced in or has a small area she stays in take a look for something sharp at dog height she may have run into. Eliminate that first. Needs a few staples or stitches. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 She snaged something, I cant tell you how many times I patched Konan up from tripping or snagging stuff at the scrapyard. That one needs a vet vist for some stiches and a cone of shame. She is ok as long as she still can/wants to move ok and her nose is cold and wet. She willing to eat and drink? Or does she lay down and stay down? Was she cowering when he checked her out or does she yelp/whine at all? I hope she will be ok. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Also the sooner the better for the stitches. I left a cut once acting all tough and shit. Doctor shook his head and said I should have come in sooner. It will heal without but will take longer and may tear open several times. "Bones heal, and chicks dig scars" Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 ouch poor dog. I grew up in orchard and ranch area and of the few times I saw a dog injured like that a wild animal that was tougher than the dog did some swipeing at it, another time my 2 cats went after the neighbors rottie to teach it a lesson that they were in the neighborhood first.

DanielC Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Dogs get hurt just like kids. I have a Great Dane, and for about two months, she had a scab on her back from running under fences. Now she has learned to duck a little more. Quote Link to comment

motavated Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ok man... Thanks for the advice. I will look around tomorrow for some clues. Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I would check around your house for possibly a nail sticking out from the siding or something. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hope your dog gets better soon. Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Get that taken care of quickly. Don't wanna see you postin that she got an infection or somethin!! Nice lookin dog. Heres to a speedy recovery!! Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 by chance s there a porch she can get under? I had that happen to one of my dogs and was caused by a nail in the porch. This is also the reason my dogs are under video recording, some sick bastard poisoned one of mine years ago so.. Quote Link to comment
mirageshepard Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I understand the protection mode thing, I've went stupid crazy over pets especially when I knew that someone intentionaly hurt them, but on the other hand I would have to stand back and see what really happened in what ever situation it was. Even my kitty "babygirl" would have little scratches (but nothing as major as what your dog has suffered) and I even went nuts. I'm even protective over friends pets and every time 1 has an injury for what ever reason I investigate even though the owners already resolved the issue lol. I wish that beautiful pooch the best and it might make a real noticeable scar but look at it this way....she's beautiful and rugged :thumbup: . Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 My back yard is a small but its all green. There are two small spots were she could of gotten hurt. But I dont see her getting lots of top speed and hitting herself that hard... Well this is how she is now... All drugged up and hurt. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 The more I look at it. It's straight down cut. I don't know... I am still pretty upset and angry... Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 how she is now... All drugged up and hurt. Poor girl :( Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 What did the vet say. He sees this all the time? I don't think a nail. That would puncture and shin stretches an unbelievable amount. It would have stretched like rubber and slipped off. A sharp burr of metal or glass maybe. And, hey! It's ok to feel mad. This a normal reaction to something you can't control. Dogs are a member of the family except maybe some places in Kentucky. (if you know what I mean). Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Good lookin dog sorry she got hurt. You might want to think about the side of your house. I see some metal stuff there. she could have been runnin back there and got cut on something. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I looked around and there is metal. But it's nothing that could cause that big of a damage. I am going to clean up back there and organize. all the nails on the wood are bent down. I don't know..... But I am going to clean that up and throw away a lot of crap... Quote Link to comment
fuzz's '71 510 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Any chance that the dog might have gotten under a car?? You will find hair somewhere and realize that's where it got hurt. Hope the pup gets to feeling better. Fuzz Quote Link to comment
