Early Sunday morning, Andrew woke up and, even though it was raining and cold, decided to take his favorite son (til April) out for a walk and play date with other dogs. About 30 minutes later, I am getting a call from him asking me if I know any emergency vet cl incs open on Sunday. You see, Jack had a fight with some barbed wire. Not good. His mouth was filled with blood and his legs were scraped up pretty bad. Also, he had a deep gash under his jaw. When we finally got the bleeding to stop, and after we called several clinics and found out we were going to have to pay over a hundred bucks just to bring him in, we decided to watch him closely on Sunday and take him to our vet first thing Monday morning.
Turns out, Jack Pratt had 4 teeth that were loose and needed to be pulled, along with his deep gash and other wounds. The vet said the wire had gone completely through his mouth to his teeth. Ewww!! I know! On top of that, he had an ear infection. Well, I could of told you that. This dog's ears stayed infected. They are the most expensive ears on the planet. He loves the water too much!
Needless to day, when we picked him up on Monday afternoon, he was so excited to see us and just wanted to play...back to being Jack!
We know, this is just God's way of preparing us...ya know...for when this happens to Cooper. I'm sure we'll have some scrapes and broken bones along the way!
