Boo boo ear


Roxy is an in-your-face kind of dog.  She thinks all dogs love her and want to have her hanging off their lips.
On our walk this evening she met one that didn't!
A foxy that didn't want to play and pounced on her, scratching her ear with his tooth.

 She left a trail of blood all the way home.
And on the carpet inside.
 It looks worse than it is.  The other side of her left ear has a long, deep scratch.
After cleaning her up, she shook her ears and started it bleeding again.  A quick trip to the VETs found it was closed.
 So SHE has put antiseptic cream on the cut, bound it up, and bound the ear to Roxy's head in hopes that it will be immobile.
Then we each--not HER, though--had a yoghurt bone to make Roxy feel better.
And now Roxy is trying to get Bella to play indoor wrestling....Sheesh!

  1. Oh no! And a foxy? One of my kind? I am so embarrassed for my breed and and sending healing licks and kisses all the way from Scotland.
    Hope it's better soon Roxy and there will be no septic business.

  9. Roxy! You poor thing. Ear injuries bleed so much (like I had to tell YOU that).

    A couple of years ago, I came home from work and discovered my white kitchen completely splattered with blood. Thankfully, my brother had called prior to my arrival to tell me that no one was murdered! One of the dogs got another, his ear was bleeding, and he kept shaking his head. My brother was calling from the vet's office...

    Get better soon so you can resume that happy wrestling!

  21. Roxy you had an encounter with a fox intent on piercing your ear!!
    I'm so sorry. Pardon my lack of knowledge of things Down Under. Do you all have a problem with rabies Down Under? I know there are places that don't have a rabies problem.

    Over here any wild mammal can have rabies which is why all our pets have to have rabies shots.

    I hope and purr your sweet little ear feels lots better very very soon.
    hugs Madi

  28. Oh no, Roxy!!! You poor thing!! I'm a big fan of believing that all pups love and want to play with me, but unfortunately that isn't always true! I hope that your ear starts to feel better really quickly and that you too can have a yogurt treat soon! :-D

  34. Do I see a cone in somedog's future? Poor Roxy. Mr. Fox is the same kinda dog - he can't understand why anyone would not adore him and want him biting and jumping in their face upon the first meeting.
    We hop you feel better very soon.

  40. Oh my goodness! How horrible. We hope you are feeling better real soon. I have a chunk outta my ear when I was attacked by another doxie. She took a nice bite outta me and I have to have surgery because part of my ear was hanging off. Now I've got a V shaped chunk missing. I know how you feel.

    Hugs,

  41. Sorry Roxy....sometimes other doggies just get scared and think that they have to defend themselves. Hope your ear heals quickly and I bet that Foxy dog is feelin' sorry for her deed.
