So, I'm already late for work this morning when I remember that I haven't taken any water out to the dogs in the front pen. I take a bucket down there and see that Pacer has blood on his face . I was in that pen at 10:30 last night and he was just fine. 8am this morning, he's bleeding! There was no fighting last night. I didn't hear a thing out of them all night.

The vet didn't have any open appointments today so I just left Pacer there and he saw him in between app'ts. (Sometimes it's a good thing I pay his mortgage!) Pacer's left eye has had a lot of discharge for the past couple days so I asked them to check that too.

Dr. Kim just called and said he thinks the puncture is a tooth, but he can't really tell for sure. The wound is very shallow and he doens't want to close it--if it is a tooth and he stitches it up, it will get infected for sure. So Pacer will have to be a conehead again for a few days!

His eye is bruised!!! Dr. Kim says that he could see the bruise when he lifts the upper lid. Pacer must have crashed into a branch or something in pen when he was running full steam!

So somehow Pacer managed to get a wound on the right side of his face and he crashed into something on the left side of his face!
Poor little dude!
