Bailey was bit in the face!

[Sevens]

We took Bailey and Guinness to the dog park tonite.

Everything was fine. It started to get pretty dark out and there were only a couple of us regulars and then this yuppie couple with two pit bulls.

All of a sudden, I heard Bailey yelp out, which she only does when another dog is being mean to her.

She came over to me and the husband apologized. She seemed ok, I ran my hands over her and everything seemed all right. (Bear in mind, pretty dark outside).

When we got home, we realized Bailey has a puncture wound in her lip! It's not huge and flapping and all, but it does kind of open up and you can see down into it. I guess the other dog really sunk their teeth into her.Also, she has some pretty ugly scratches on her throat. I guess we're lucky they didn't latch onto that.

I flipped out, but Brian talked me out of going to the emergency vet tonite. His main reason is that Bailey is not really in obvious pain, like whimpering and pawing at her face. She's pretty much herself, except for this hole in her face.

I think to be safe, I will take her to the vet tomorrow morning. We did already clean it out of course and it has mostly stopped bleeding, but I want to be sure. It looks like it might need a stitch or two and some antibiotics to be safe.
