What a morning!

First Rocky is fine.
20 minutes before I was to leave
for work, I went outside
to fill up the water bowls.
(Rocky had only been outside for 1/2 hour)
I noticed Rocky laying down licking his paw.
Their was blood on the cement patio.
Blood was comming from his nail.
I got the Quik stop and applied it to his
nail and it stopped bleeding.
I noticed the nail was away from the skin.
Yuck! The vet saw him at 9:00 a.m.
and said Rocky had to stay.
His nail was split all the way down to
the base.
I was worried because he had eaten his breakfast and they had to put him under to remove his nail.
Their is a hole in his paw now, but the vet
said his nail will grow back again.
Poor Rocky, the first thing he did when he
got home was pee and pee and pee.
He than bumped his head on some furniture
and almost fell twice. He is very
groggy. I have to keep him in the house
for the next 24 hours.
He is now sleeping.
Why do these thing always seem to happen
right before work. :rolleyes:

Oww! I wonder how he did that? Ow! Ow! Ow! Poor guy ...

Glad he'll be okay, though.

Oh, Rocky, I am so sorry you are in pain! I know you will be better soon....all paws crossed here, plus lots of prayers... :D

Oh poor Rocky!! Get better quick!

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a scary morning for you!! I am so glad everything worked out okay and Rocky is on the road to recovery.

Get well soon, Rocky!

Poor little Thing! It's good that he'll be o.k. :-) Another litttle thing... If he ever bleeds on his toenails again, use Cornpowder! It works MUCH beteer then quik stop.

OUCH! Poor Rocky. Glad he is going to be okay! :D

Things always happen right before work or when you are all dressed up and ready to leave for an event for me too! Somebody's (Can't remember who) law says that's just the way it is! :(

:( Poor Rocky :( I didn't know that their nails grew back after they were removed. Anyway, good luck keeping him relaxed and keeping him from using that foot too much for a few days :(

Dogs really do have a knack for doing something that requires your time right before you leave for work. About a month ago, right before work I took Graham for his last potty before I left, and he thought it might be fun to roll in something smelly :eek: . He got his wish, I had to go in late to work because I was bathing my dog so the smelly did not spread throughout the house :mad:

I hope Rocky does OK, and I hope your job understands that the dogs come first :)

Aww, poor Rocky! I hope he feels better soon.

Why is it that we have had 3 Pet Talkers injured this week?

Poor Rocky - we all know how awful it is to have a hangnail - this is much worse! Hope he feels better soon! :D

Funny you should mention the peeing... when we had Paula for about a month, we took her in to get probed :eek: for a possible vaginal infection. She was sedated but not put out cold. When Joe brought her home, she stood there in the living room, looked at him, and squatted to make a HUGE puddle! Then she proceeded to stumble through the house, bumping into things! She wasn't herself again until the next morning. :(

KYS,
Think that's what is called "Murphys Law".
Sicknesses or accidents always seem to happen
1)The humans are rushing off to work.
2)Your about to leave on a long awaited vacation trip.
3)Just because it's Friday night after 5pm,
and the Vets office won't be open till Mon.

Hope Rocky is feeling better SOON !!!

Rocky, Star here. I was so upset to hear my Rocky pal was hurtin and hadda stay inna hospital and get konked out. What a hurty-ouchy that musta been Rock. :( I wuz soooo releeeved to hear you are home and startin to wake up and get better. Make sure mom helps ya get around till yer up on all 4 paws today. We love ya Rocky man. And I hopes Sheba and Pepper are beein good to their brudder :) Get well quick Rock. Love, yer pals, Star and Cody

Oh Rocky, I can imagine how much that hurt. It's amazing how dogs just go on with the pain, sometimes one would never know. Our Vet told us Schnauzers are that way, they will never let you know if they are sick or in pain. Thank goodness the Vet took care of Rocky's boo boo and now he can kick back and enjoy the good life. Get better Rocky and treats, hugs and kisses to you.
Perry, Daisy and me.

POOR ROCKY!!
OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!
I hope is doing better today!!

TollSetter, What is cornpowder? I have never heard of it!!

Ouch! Poor Rocky! Wonder how he did that! I hope he heals up real soon! For now, give him plenty of treats, hugs, and kisses from us :)

Love,
Bridget and Daisy
