Oh no!! Poor Giselle!! Paraeys comming for a speedy recovery!!
Yes, please do try to explain to your parents that this was just a miscommunication, it happens. we have all been there. It definitely does not mean that Ivy will bite a person. Fingers crossed tha Ivy can stay!
Giselle, get well quickly, heal right up now girlie!
Just wondering how Ivy responded immediately after this? I know when one of our dogs nipped me as a kid, the instant she realized what she'd done she was all sorry and tail and head down, she knew she did something wrong.
Hugs to you and Ivy!
How horrible Sophie, I hope Giselle heals up quickly. Sadie and Maggie got into it the other day over food. Sadie had Maggie pinned on the ground. I brought Maggie inside and things were fine between them in no time. I think it's instinct with food around to react like that.
Sophie, how is dear Giselle feeling? I hope the surgery went well.
Any word on how Giselle is doing, Sophie?
Thank you guys. Giselle did well. The procedure took about 2 hours and I picked her up at 1 AM last night. What surprised me most is how much stitching the vet had to do, but, like Cindy mentioned, I think most of it is just due to Giselle's thin greyhound skin.
Here's a pic of her injuries (warning: it's pretty graphical)

Ivy seems to know that Gis is injured. She tried initiating play with Giselle but then sort of sniffed her, wagged her tail, and walked away. My parents aren't too happy with Ivy but we are all keeping a very close eye on her now. She now eats in a closed crate and is crated when we are away (no more roaming around in the dog room with Giselle). I know it's just a dog thing, but it's just disappointing when scuffles turn into something like this :(
Oh Giselle, poor baby! Looks like the drainage tube is still in place? Did she come home with meds? Pain relievers, antibiotics? How is she to pill?
Gentle hugs to her.
Oh my goodness, poor Giselle. :( I hope she will be feeling better soon!
Nebo wouldn't hesitate to bite a dog over food, but never a person...I could take a steak out of his mouth and he'd be fine. So they definitely do understand the difference between dogs and humans. I hope that you won't have any further issues between Ivy and Giselle.
Awwww....poor Giselle!! Ouch that looks painful, but I am sure taht you will recover quickly!
Yep, the drain will stay there until Friday when we get it removed by her regular vet. She came home with Tramadol and Clavamox and she's a lovely patient to pill :) Seriously, I don't understand why all these bad things keep happening to her. She's too sweet for this =( Maybe a little airheaded, but sweet.Quote:

Poor Giselle. It's worse than I was expecting.
Please give Giselle some loves from me. And also Ivy, because I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt her big sis like that.
Well, I guess Gis won't be able to make a park trip (if we ever get one before the weather gets really bad). But that's okay, because she just needs to get better. :)
Poor Giselle! I hope she heals up quickly. *hugs*
I am so sorry. :( I hope Giselle will be okay and that your parents understand that dog and human aggression are two different things.
Awww Poor Gissie I hope it heals up well! :(
