Teddy got hurt

Also, any ideas on how to keep him busy for the next few weeks? He won't be able to play and he's already going nuts lol. What can I do to keep him entertained in place of running around.

Do you have a kong? Lots of dogs like those, they tend to keep them entertained. I'll have to try to think of other ideas too....

Poor Teddy. I hope he heals up real soon.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

We do have a kong but Teddy is a kong master lol. No matter what we put it in he can get it out in a few minutes. If I keep stuffing it I'm gonna end up with a fat doggy but that will definately help fill in the gaps.

well we are on our way to the vets in a couple of minutes. Teddy from 4 am to 6 am. he wanted to come into the bed with us. LOL we just moved so the bed is very small but he is hurt so we let him up there for a little while. I even went out on the couch so he could have my half of the bed and my hubby could still sleep before work. Well apparently it wasn't good enough if I wasn't in the room too. So I went back in and curled up in a tiny little ball so Teddy would have some space lol. Finally when he got tired again he went back out to the couch to sleep.

he is favouring the foot quite a bit today and has been messing with the bandage which he doesn't usually do. I hope the vet can give us something to make him more comfortable.

Good luck at the vets today.

Thanks

We are back from the vets and Teddy is doing well. It was our first visit to a new vet and he was wonderful. Teddy really liked him too.

He said that the wound didn't require stitches and he thought it was ridiculous that the emergency vet said it did and wanted to charge us $700 bucks for it. He just put some goop on it, wrapped it back up and gave us some antibiotics. he said that Teddy has to stay off of it for a few weeks likely but other than that he would be fine as long as he takes the antibiotics.

Now all thats left is to get through the next few weeks without exercising him lol. We go back for a follow up on july 25th
