one scary day

[wvuot]

I'm not sure if anyone else has been through this, so I'm posting this. Today was a scary day at my house. We were outside and my 6 year old puppy, Ginger, took a running spell (you know those quick bursts of speed all over the yard). She ran under a pine tree, then we heard a yelp and the baby came out with a stick from the tree in her eye. I just ran to her while my brother call the emergency vet number. Luckily, the vet was able to remove the stick (about 1/2 inch in diameter ). He said that the stick actually went under the eye itself about one inch, with no damage to her vision but the eye is very swollen and red. We are really worried about infection right now because that could still damage her vision. The vet put her on antibiotics both oral and a cream for her eye, but I'm just worried. Has anyone else ever had anything like this happen? I just love our vet and he is very positive right now so please just keep Ginger in your thoughts.

Oh my gosh-poor Ginger. I'm so happy to hear that she's okay. What a scary experience. Indy boxer burned straight for our house one day(brick). I yelled for her and she stopped a few inches from the wall. She seemed oblivious to the wall and was just enjoying the playing, but it gave me a huge scare. I am definitely sending Ginger big healing vibes and hope she's all healed up very soon!!

Awww...poor Ginger, she thought she was just playing along until that ole tree got ahold of her. Good thing the vet was available to help, hope she gets to feeling better. Silly Ginger ya gotta watch where you're running so you dont get hurt--watch out for cars too, they're really bad.

Aw, poor Ginger!! I'm so glad she is okay! That must've been so scary ... I don't do well with drama, I would have been a basket case!!

*Hoping Ginger has a full recovery and is good as new ((which I'm sure she will be, if not, better)), and a big HUG for you! You both deserve it!

Ya'll will be in our thoughts!

OH NO!!! Poor Ginger! I'm glad to hear she's ok. No more burns under any trees! I would have been a mess, I hate watching my babies get hurt too. Get well soon!
