Scrappys New Boo Boo

Well, it's actually more than a Boo Boo, it's more like a hairline fractured pelvis, torn ACL and various other bruising to his left rear leg........poor little guy. We don't know what actually happened, other than Sheryl heard him crying in the back yard. She went to get him and found him limping on the left rear leg. She checked him out and thought he may have broken his leg somehow, so Sheryl and Kaileigh rushed him right to the local Animal Urgent Care. The Vet was so nice and caring, when he hear Sheryl crying, he rushed right out, took Scrappy from her arms and got him back right away, Great Service!!! After the exam and X-Rays, the above was determined. Again, we don't know just what happened, but the Vet said, he has seen alot of injured dogs and Scrappy's injuries were consistent with being kicked very hard. There is a hole in the back fence, that Scrappy and Kaileigh's dogs get out once in a while, so they could have gotten out for a minute and some jerk may have kicked poor Scrappy. We'll never know. So the little guy is on pain killers and bed/kennel rest for two weeks. Vet said there is no way to splint or treat a hairline fracture to the pelvis, other than rest and to let it heal.
Poor Scrappy, wish him well and he'll be back to his ole self in no time. That's the latest news, so until next time.........................

Awww, poor Scrappy! That's horrible to think that someone may have purposely hurt him. Hope he's better very soon!

If your are ever back in town and Scrappy starts snarling at someone in that neighborhood that you don't know your question will have been answered. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.
