    ***Update on Buckley Prayers needed

    To make a long story short, our Lab Pit Chow mix (Bono) savagely attacked our 6 year old lab (Buckley). They have had issues before and we have kept them apart but our daughter was house sitting while we were out of town and let her dog out thinking Bono had finished eating. Well he had a little food left and when Colt (a year lab) went for it he attacked him. Buckley charged out to defend Colt and lost big time. Buckley was taken to an emergency vet with horrific wounds on his neck and throat, but because of two other emergencies, he had to wait almost 12 hours for his treatment and surgery. My daughter took him home with instructions to give the antiobitic twice daily for ten days and follow up with our vet when the stitches needed out. Buckley later climbed in our tub, and we told her to take him to our vet. He had a 105 fever and ozing wounds which are now necrotic. Our vet explained that with jagged tears this could be expected but is very surprised of the degree of it. He is being flushed and bathed twice daily and had to have an IV inserted for fluids because he developed jaundice, which is better today. My questions are, has anyone ever experience this? His chest and neck are black with huge ozing wounds and of course very smelly. Our vet said he hasn't turned the corner yet and is concerned we havent seen the worse. Has anyone's dog experience this and what was the outcome. Does anyone think that the emergency center was some what negligent in their treatment. Looking at the bill, they never administered even an IM antibiotic shot. We are at our wits end fearing we are going to loose Buckley. Our vet said this wasn't a fight, but an attack to kill. Bono's intent was to kill based on the wounds. I appreciate any feed back that anyone can share and if you don't mind prayers for Buckley. Thank you
