ER Trip #4

Friday April 16th, we took Colton to a friends house so we could go to a birthday dinner for another friend. We had been at dinner about 10 minutes when we got a call that there dog had bit Colton on the face. They said his face was pretty much ok but the inside of his cheak might need stiches. So we headed to check out the situation. He had a puncture below his eye and in the corner of his eye. He had some light scratches on his face but then we looked in his mouth and sure enough it was pretty torn up. So we went up to the ER to have him checked out. They didn't do any stitches but they put him on antibiotics. He was swollen, bruised and scratched up. But almost 1 week later his scratches are gone he still has a small sore in his mouth from chewing on the torn up mucosa, and he still has one small puncture wound under the eye. But all in all he is recovering well and in another week he will be good as new. The dog is healthy, but of course the ER turned it in to Animal Services. He is on home quarantine until Monday 4/26, but I doubt anything will come of that. You would think Colton would be afraid of dogs but nope...he played with "Sammy" the dog that "ate him" Sunday night.

Colton & Daddy in the ER, notice the Minnie Mouse PJ's. He bled all over his ad all they had were pink ones.
