My husband and I came home last night from his parents house. I went to the dog's yard to feed Mama and Belle. Mama ran out of the gate and up to our deck, which is something that she NEVER does!! I walked over to her, I was just going to pick her up and carry her back to their yard, when she yelped. I jumped back from her, afraid that I had hurt her.Then she turned and looked at me. There was blood running down her chin. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tougne, which was so sollowen, it looked blue.
We tied her up to keep her from trying to run away, and stayed up with her most of the night. The bleeding stopped, and finally we were able to see the puncture wounds on her tounge. She is eating and drinking, but carefully. All we can figure is that she and Belle were playing and Mama bit her own tounge.
That was scary!! We don't have a vet that is open all the time, we would have had to call and wake him up...which we were about to do when the bleeding stopped. I hope what I am writing is making sense, because I am half asleep after staying up most of last night. I'm just so glad that she is getting better.....
