Good news! Doggo went and got a few stitches at the vet, and one drain for a laceration that can't be wrapped because it's on her haunch. She's all bandaged up otherwise, and the vet was somewhat impressed at what my parents were able to do with their bandaging. She'll be all good, probably achy...
She is doing well this morning! As well as a dog could be after that, at least.
My dad reported her standing and giving him a tail wag greeting earlier this morning, and my mom later sent a video of her walking around outside on leash. My mom also said she even gave the cat a tail wag. Walking...
Sounds like her gums are good, haven't heard anything else and I'll be off to bed soon, but I'll let y'all know if there's anything more in the morning.
ETA: They contacted an ER callback vet that's closer, so hopefully they'll get something sooner than the local ones can provide. Driving to the...
I kind of feel like it was less that anyone disagreed and more that stuff just like... never happened. Like everyone perpetually assumed everything would get taken care of by everyone else. Same for animals. They make sure the animals are fed and sheltered, but outside of basic care for...
Nope, I'm 1,200 miles away. They wouldn't stop me or anything though, if I did walk in and go "I'm confiscating her". 😂
My dad's got work and is usually asleep by over an hour ago, and my mom, while being a night owl, is borderline agoraphobic for anything further than 15 minutes from our house...
Glad I can now care for my own dog the way you're supposed to... Life is so different in the wide open country vs the suburbs though. There are things I've done with our pupper that I'd never dream of having to/trying to do with our farm dogs. Like learning how to walk nicely on a leash. 😅
They are applying pressure last I heard. My dad does have good emergency wound care knowledge so I fully trust that he will wrap her up very well.
And they will take her to the vet, it's just a question of "now" or "in the morning".
My family's always been so weird about this sort of thing, I don't understand it.
The dog is technically paid for by my dad, and she lives at their house. She is my sister's by emotional bond/verbal declaration which means she is "everyone's" dog, which means no one will step up for her and make...
Yeah, they've always been weird about medical care for animals, it's so frustrating. They love their animals, but as soon as there's an expensive illness or injury (mom said they don't want to "deal with" internal injuries...), it's pretty much over for the animal. :\ Which I don't think my...
I think washing and bandaging is what they're doing on the dining room table there. I see the bitter vet wrap. They do have styptic powder for minor wound packing and stuff, and plenty of astringents/wound care supplies. I think that one on her leg is the worst, and only one really bleeding...
Send prayers and hope to my family PLEASE!! My sister's dog, a 2 y/o pit/lab/beagle mix, was just hit by a car. They live on a country road and she has a bad habit of chasing rabbits across the fence line and that road. She darted out at the wrong time.
She's got gashes all over but from the one...
I stopped getting notifs!! So rude!!
Today I got up and went to a new park (by myself), which was great. Then, I had enough energy to do more! *Shock* So, I took Jäger into the rest of the backyard and we played with his new fetch ball for a while. It was a huge hit!! He was so happy. He had...

Here it is! I used 2 cups of all-purpose gf flour instead of the 1/2 cup of almond flour. I also used Greek yogurt instead of the "regular" kind. Instead of paper cups, I buttered the pan very...
I've been wanting to bake something for the last two weeks, as pregnancy cravings have started to kick in. We finally had a cool, cloudy morning (rare for this part of Wyoming), so I gladly started the day with these tasty little bits of perfection. 😋 Next item I bake will probably use up some...
