His first day of obediance training and he got smashed by a bigger dog. Not a puppy...but a 75lbs Pitt mixthats at least a year old. On Wednesday at school he got trampled by a big dumb beast, and screamed for about 2 hours I wrapped him in his puppy blanket and held him and called the vet...a vet tech happened to be in PETCO and she began rubbing his legs and hips to see if there was bone damage, she talked to the vet and the vet told her to hold off stopping by till the morning and to give him half a tab of baby aspirin at 600pm and 6am. Stop by in the morning if he is still limping. He was still holding his leg high so I took him to the vet. Vet rubbed his leg and told me its just a sore muscle.
Now its Saturday and Eli will put weight on his leg, but hobbles and yelps when he is touched there. I feel bad. My first instinct was to shoot the Pitt mix and owner for being an idiot. If not for my love of Eli I would have done something stupid. Now my best friend is hurt, and I have no clue what to do. I spent $200 bucks to have a vet say he's fine and lack the funds to take him to another vet. I'm worried and upset. I called PETCO and said they really need to seperate big dogs from little dogs.
I'm frustrated and feel as though I let my friend down by not protecting him.
