Not two minutes since arriving at the dog park, my pet greyhound was attacked by another dog. I've been going there since the park opened 3 months ago, haven't had any problems. Greyhounds in the Cali are not common, I adopted this rescue all the way from an Oklahoma breeder/racer.
My dog is happy to just run for a few minutes. He does not bark, nor attack any person or dog.
I didn't see the attack. I was getting a poop bag. There was no time to question anyone after I saw his neck. And not one of the other owners fessed up. I asked for help to carry him to the car and someone offered paper towels since I was putting pressure on the wound with my hand and drove to the vet.
Now I have a dog with a neck laceration a mile long, with stitches, staples and a temporary drain...this happened at 09:15. He's under pain meds and antibiotics for the next 14 days. He's walking around but I dread the next days, I have to observe for swelling, loss of apetite and vomiting. [email protected]#$%
What a way to start a weekend, my poor best bud. I wish I saw the dog who did it.
