Poor old Harry suffered a dog attack on Friday night, just a minute or two after leaving home on his walk there was a woman with two dogs. She called out not to come near but Liam didn't understand properly and walked past them. All the dogs were on leash but one made a grab for poor old Haz. Skin and fascia was torn off the muscle and there is severe bruising which might complicate his recovery.
Only an hour after he came back from the vet, Briony and Lucy arrived home after the long drive from Briony's country teaching job. Harry barely lifted his head, a huge departure from his normal grinning, tail wagging and excited zooming self. It was the saddest thing to watch but after some carefully supervised attention from Lucy he decided it was time for a walk.
He was attacked around 7, came home after surgery around 9.30 and was asking for a walk by midnight. It was a very short and slow walk but we felt it would help his recovery and I can't help but admire the guts of the boy.
In the photo you can see the adhesive line around his fur, showing how much the bandage has slipped. I'll be glad to have it re-dressed tomorrow. Harry has started to sometimes turn and glare accusingly at the wound site which might just be because he feels better and has energy to react or it could be that the slipping bandage is pulling on the wound.
Briony is now on her way back to Deni and we'll next see her when she comes to Sydney for Keaghan's April wedding. It was lovely to have her and she was pleased to be back in the big smoke, she misses the food options we have here in Sydney and especially loved the vegetarian Buddha bowl she had yesterday.
It's been a big weekend with highs and lows so I'm rather looking forward to a mostly empty calendar this week.
Poor, poor Harry. And poor you.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a week with less lows. An even keel sounds nice right about now.
Yes, even would be nice!
DeleteHow awful. I hope Harry recovers and is back to his normal bouncy self asap. Unfortunate that the other dog managed to attack him despite being on a leash.
ReplyDeleteAfter talking to neighbours we know the dog has done it before so the word I would use is negligent.
DeleteI have had situations with pets which in hindsight I could have managed better so I have sympathy for her but if she knew there was an issue they should have been muzzled
That just annoys me so much.
ReplyDeleteI'm not annoyed any more, just focussed on getting to the time when he's better. It has been reported
DeleteA sick dog with whatever is the problem is the saddest thing that we can see. He seems to have recovered from the trauma and may well be on his way to full recovery. All the best.
ReplyDeleteYou are right of course, a sad dog really is the most pitiful thing to see
DeleteMany cuddles to Harry, I hope he recovers swiftly - he looks like a gentle spirit.

Poor dog.
ReplyDeleteIt's not nice, hes in pain every time he moves
DeletePoor Harry - how awful to be the victim of an attack. I feel for him and all of his human loved ones. I do hope he has a full recovery and has no lasting effects.
ReplyDeleteAs EC said, here's hoping for some ordinary days with no crap. That's not exactly what she said but it's the same idea.
I know Harry is getting lots of love but please whisper in his ear that he is such a good boy and to get well soon.
It's a shame you can't hear harrys voice but it's kind of deep and sleepy. He says
Delete"Fanks, jennyo, I lubs get well wishes, I specially lubs dem when dey come from far away. My hoomans give me medicines in meatballs and dey fink I dont know but who ever eated a crunchy meatball before?"
Hah! Harry you are a smart boy. Keep eating those crunchy meatballs; they'll help you.
DeleteSorry to read about Harry's altercation. Greyhounds are lovely dogs. I hope he recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteHarry is a beautiful boy , but then I never met a dog I didnt like
DeleteOh no poor Harry.
ReplyDeleteEmpty calendars are always a joy. Sounds like you need it.
I'll be happy for a bit of a break
DeletePoor Prince Harry! May he be fully recovered sooner rather than later. Given recent bush fires isn't it somewhat ill-considered to still refer to Sydney as "the big smoke"?
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. Let's call Australia the smoking gun of climate change and lets call our politicians arsonists
DeleteThis enrages me. Such dogs should be muzzled. I would certainly ask her about your vet bill, that is so hard. Poor Harry. And poor you and the worry and care.
ReplyDeleteI hope he recovers soon.
