My poor dog. I was at a friend's house helping him with drywall in his basement, and I always take my dog over there so my dog and his can play. Well Mira likes to jump fences, but usually if another dog is around she won't try it. This time was different, though, as she jumped a short fence to the neighbors yard. I tried to get her to come back over and I just thought she was just acting like she didn't want to jump back over. Later on we found out that she tore her leg open all the way to the muscle about the size of a half dollar underneath near her belly. Well I can't find a 24 hour emergency vet around here and I know it's going to need a couple stitches, and it figures it happens on a weekend when they charge double and I have no money. Anyway, I thought I would rant...I just feel so bad for my poor girl.

Haha who knows, she'll probably try it again. They actually didn't charge me much for fixin' her up. She's doing great today, as chipper as ever!

Awwww I am so sorry about ur doggie..

I had a similar situation...except it was a cockatiel.....

Flew into the dark room into a plaster wall???hard from the 1800' kind of place....

then got stuck behind my dresser..wings spread..claws stuck in back of dresser, upside down for at least 3 hrs....

he tried to release himself by biting off his legs.....his chest was indented....

I heard just this little peep as my son and I frantically were trying to find him..

I would have had to drive 2 1/2 hrs and $500 to get him help..

So I called someone who had birds..they told me to pack the wounds with flour, give gatorade and keep warm...

he slept under my chin all night...

in a week he was moving around well...

in 2 weeks he finally started churping and singing his way...I thought I was going to have a mute bird..

We were heart broken...really thought he was going to die.

He has been with us for 16 yrs.....and is beautiful still...

My best to you and ur loved pet...:smile: :heart: smooched flowers

That is sad to hear, but I'm happy you still have a beautiful bird! Thank you for the kind wishes, I will pass them on to her :smile: She looks like she's doing great, she runs full speed down the lawn when I get home, so she must be o.k. I know she's still sore because she limps, but she will be 100% soon I am sure of it! :banana:

oh poor dog!
I hope everything goes well.

we had 2 kittens get out once when we had gone out to dinner
when we came back i realized they had been out for a while and they weren't coming when i called them, which wasn't normal.

then my kitten came crawling up the stairs of our deck and i couldnt figure out why he was acting so weird till i picked him up and realized that our neighbor's dog had gotten ahold of his back leg and shook him.
he wasn't hurt too bad tho, and the other kitten was just stuck in the fence
