Giselle got bit

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Poor Gissie. That looks awful. I hope she heals well and makes a quick recovery!

I also hope your parents understand that Ivy won't suddenly be aggressive toward people just because of this incident. As others have said, and as you know, dogs can sometimes just react that way in certain situations.

[Nobas Mom]

Awww... poor sweet Gissie... Noba, Sadie and I send huggies to help you heal faster...

[Kfamr]

Oh my goodness. Poor Gissie. Sending more good thoughts your way.

[pitc9]

Oh my....

Oh the poor thing, {{hugs}} to her and wishing her a speedy recovery!!

[cyber-sibes]

Wow, that's much worse than I thought from your description. Poor poor Giselle, she is such a sweet girl. I hope there are no more incidents with Ivy. That's just plain nasty-looking.

[4 Dog Mother]

I have to say that is much worse than I thought it would be. Poor Giselle, I hope she heals quickly. Does she act afraid around Ivy now?

[Ginger's Mom]

I, too, have to agree, that looks much worse than I thought. I hope she heals quickly, and that Ivy and she are able to live in the same house without any further incidents.

I'm so sorry to hear about poor Giselle. I hope she gets well soon!

We have to be extra careful with food, too, because Adele has attacked both corgis over food before. Now she is crated at mealtimes (hers and ours) and while we are cooking. It seems to work because other than that they get along fine.

[Giselle]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to look so bad either because the original wounds weren't gaping or extremely large. But the vet had to cut off a bit of skin to stitch Gis up properly and she had to put a drain in by puncturing another hole, sooo it does look pretty bad =/

But per Freedom's request, here are some better pics of Gis






"Thank you for praying and hoping for me, PT!"

ETA: Giselle isn't really scared of Ivy, but I think she's still traumatized by everything. She doesn't act normally around Ivy, but I think most of it is pain and stress.

[Catty1]

I hope the pain meds kick in and she heals soon.

Would your regular vet talk to your parents about this aggression thing, or would one of them come with you?

{{{{hugs}}}}

Aw, that last photo of Giselle's beautiful face and gorgeous eyes is wonderful.
They say that things usually look worse than they really are...

So here's to more praying that Gissy heals up well and quickly!

[Ginger's Mom]

I think the way she is acting stressed around Ivy is because she is not feeling well. Giselle knows that she cannot move or react as normal and that is more what she is reacting to than Ivy herself. Dogs don't seem to take these type of things into stride better than we do. Please give that beautiful girl a big kiss on that gorgeous nose for me.

[Alysser]

Aw, poor baby! Giselle, your face is still as pretty as ever! I am so sorry she had such a bad wound but at least it was not more serious. Gentle ((((hugs)))) and prayers for Giselle!

[bckrazy]

OUCH! =( That really does look like it hurts. Poor Gissie... get well soon, sweet girl.

She still looks beautiful, as always, in her pictures. What a trooper!

[DrKym]

Aww porr Giselle....sending prayers out for her!

Years ago when we lived in Ft. Lauderdale I worked with the Greyhound rescue groups from the Hialeah race track, we still had Rotties and the poor greys would get nicked and cut so easily with just regular play, I am certain Ivy and her will become excellent pack mates , and I am sure this will not turn to any human aggression. Just seems the greys are a bit more delicate than some of our beefier kids
