Prayers needed for my little Peanut
Peanut's in the animal hospital. :( She's been in a snappy little mood all morning with the two big dogs, Greta in particular. She was nipping at Greta this morning over food, and they each had their own dish, but Peanut wanted it all. I was out later doing errands, and luckily my husband was still home. Greta had it with her (Greta weighs over 100 Lbs. Peanut not even 5 Lbs) and bit Peanut. :( I came home to the front door open, and blood all over the kitchen floor. Thinking a cat got hurt somehow I looked for blood elsewhere, not even thinking it could have been Peanut who's usually snuggled under a blanket on the couch surrounded by cats. I called hubby's cell phone and he told me Peanut was at the vets. Her breathing was very labored, her heart rate had dropped, her eye was popped out of the socket. The vet stabilized her heartbeat with atropine, put her on IV fluids, and a catheter and kept the eye moistened. Peanut stabilized enough to be able to be put under, and her eye was stitched into the socket. No telling if the eye will be saved or not at this point. My poor little girl came so close to losing her life. Greta is not food aggressive in anyway, and never has been. She'll let kittens eat with her even, so all I can figure is Peanut bit her in a sensitive area like her nostril, or lip, and Greta got annoyed, and 'corrected' her not knowing her own strength. :( It's been a horrible afternoon. :(
