Blue's scapula is broken(ripped) in two places

Oh David, poor Blue! He must have taken quite a smack on the shoulder. I'm sorry it happened but hoping for an uneventful recovery. It is hard to keep them quiet, for sure. Thank goodness he is a young sprout and should heal up well.

Sending hugs to you both.
 
David I am very sorry to hear about Blue's injury. Sending healing prayers.

You may need a round of antibiotics depending on how bad the bite is. Stan's dog bit him often and he sometimes needed 2 rounds of antibiotics they were so bad.

Oooops! I nearly replied that the vet had indeed given us some antibiotics - then I realised Dawns2shelties meant them for me:o Sorry everyone I should have said that Blue didn't have the strength to puncture the skin, he had too much of my fist in his mouth.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes, suggestions and sympathy. Blue is now demanding 24/7 strokes, cuddles, treats and every other form of indulgence he can think of. His vet has removed all bandaging and pronouced himself very pleased. Four weeks in the crate at night but can sit quietly with us in the evening. Could be worse....

Thanks
 
Never had that experience thank goodness. Poor little guy hope he heals ASAP. I can't even imagine 6 weeks in the crate keeping him calm, that will be the hardest part.

They can do the dumbest things when it comes to squirrels. My 2 act crazy too.
 
Blue's update

Two weeks after the op. Vet had the boy in for a check up and pronouced himself very satisified with Blue's progress (and his own op. in this rare accident). The best news of all is that Blue's can now be taken on quiet 'lead' walks around the garden. Hopefully this wil drain a little of his excess energy.
 
Geez, I'm sorry! I seem to have somehow missed your original post. Poor Blue, that sounds so painful and must have been so scary for you.

Really relieved to hear that he's making a good recovery.

I know what you mean about the scream of pain, its something I'll never forget when Sadie had her spinal stroke. Still sends chills down my spine when I think about it. :(
