Triskit Got Shot!!!

**sumbirdy** · 11-01-2006, 11:23 AM

Triskit got shot yesterday. I guess somebody thought she was a deer because she is the same color as one. They shot her in that piece of skin that is connected to the belly and the leg. (You do know what I'm talking about right?) There is a big hole there and you can see through it. The bullet grazed her belly a little bit and there is a scratch there. We bandaged her and wrapped her up. She lost a lot of blood but today she is doing really well and she is getting up and walking (though rather slowly). I'm glad that she didn't get shot in a more serious place. We are getting her a bright orange collar today.

Yikes! That's so scary! Poor Triskit, give her a kiss for me. Hope all the dogs have "hunter orange" collar, tie-out or something that says "Do Not Shoot Me!"

My tricolor wears a orange vest during bear season. By law, they are supposed to have a clear shot, and yes I prosecuted last year when someone took a shot at Femka who was also wearing her orange vest. ( He lost his hunting license for 2 years..).
YOu did get your dog to the vet right? If you did- increase her protein for iron. Tipoli fish or broccoli is a good one. I also feed beef and yes- venison but its awfully rich as there is almost nooooooooooo fat..

Yes. We have to feed her liver and beef. We are also giving her Geritol which increases her iron. I never knew that broccoli is good for that though.

We don't even know who did it. I know it was a hunter though because dad said the bullet came from a hunting gun (don't know what it was called) She's smallish (probably about the size of a yearling) and right now those are illegal to shoot. If I knew who did it I would make sure they wouldn't be able to hunt for a while
