This story happened to my dog about a year ago, anyway here it goes.
One day Blizzard decided to jump over a six foot wall, while his owners were away. So Blizzard jumped the fence and toured the neigborhood. Well when his owners got home they found only one dog not two. They checked outside and found a not that said " I have your dog, come pick him up". So when went to pick him up and took him home. This happened many more times. Untill one time Blizzard tried to jump the fence but OOOOOUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHH. Of course we were not home so we did not know what was going on. Well when we got home I decided to lay on the floor and pet Blizzard and C.J. When we noticed a huge cut on Blizzards leg. We decide to take him to the vet, they took an X-ray and found out he had severed his tendon . So then he had to have surgery, the vets did something to the tendon and closed up the wound. Well one day when we were at school Blizzard decided to jump the fence again, and what did he do, he re-opened his wound and severed his tendon a second time. Well this time we to him to a vet surgical center. They ended up fusing he leg so he could not bend it. He also had to have 14 screws inserted.
Even today the wound bothers him so mutch he chews on it. We've had e-collars on him sock put over the wounds and casts. He seems to always be able to rip it off. Anyway Blizzard is still around today, thankfully!
I guess I'll also have to ask a question. Is there something I can put on his leg to stop him from chewing on his wound?
Thanks,
