Poor Crue

Crue got hurt yesterday. He somehow managed to run into the side of our lawnmower/dump run trailer.

The offending trailer

The thing that makes me mad is that trailer has been sitting there for months and just the other day I was thinking maybe it should be moved before one of the dogs accidentally runs into it. I should learn to act when these thoughts go through my head as they seem to inevitably happen once I've thought them.

I had him at the ER vet within 15 minutes. He nicked the third eyelid, scraped the cornea and ripped open the skin at the corner of the eye. The vet said it was very deep and into the tissue under the skin. Can't remember what he called it. They anesthetized him and sutured it up. He was also limping really bad but we couldn't find the reason for that. The vet thinks he bumped his shoulder at the same time he cut his eye. He was still a bit wobbly from the anaesthesia when I brought him home but immediately went back to the ball he was playing with when he got hurt.
He's full of energy today having spent the past 24 hours either crated or on a leash. He should heal up with no lasting vision problems. I certainly hope so. I hate when my dogs get sick or hurt.


My poor boy :(
