I am so sorry that Drake got in a fight. That must have been horribly scary it's good that you are taking him to the vet, because some dogs are in terrible pain but they are very stoic. When Graham dislocated his wrist, although he was holding up his leg, he came wiggling up to me and he was not whining or crying or licking his leg or anything. At first I thought he just sprained his leg, but when I felt his bad leg to see if I felt anything "unusual" a bone popped and he didn't even flinch, try to pull his leg away, or make a peep. He appeared as if he was in no pain whatsoever. Dogs like Graham and Drake are so stoic that it's hard to tell they are in pain...but I am sure Drake is feeling it, just as I know Graham is feeling it.

Good luck. I hope it is not too severe. You must have flipped when you saw his wound, I know I would have had a hard time keeping my cool. I hope that other dog stayes away from your yard from this point on, too. Dog fights are horrifying.
