Thanks everyone for your good wishes for Pacer. I got to bring him home this afternoon. As I posted last night, his injures are worse than first suspected and he's still in some danger, especially if he gets an infection in the two major wounds. He also has an assortment of puncture wounds and scrapes.
He's on three different anti-biotics and I threw a little fit and got some extra pain meds for him--I don't care if he's not acting like it hurts, it has to hurt! So they gave me some Metacam to give him for a few days.
Pacer has taken over Preacher's comfy bed in the porch. All he wants to do is sleep. Although the vet says he ate well this morning and he did try to stick his nose out the window on the way home. He gets to be a full time house dog until he is healed up. My husband finished putting up the new fence last night. We put our best escape artist in there last night and it took Muskwa over an hour to find a way out. Tonight that spot gets reinforced and then when he's healed, Pacer can go in there--far away from the big meanies who ganged up on him!
