Do not panic.
I/We have panicked enough for everyone.
Rush was hit by a car this afternoon, around 4:30.
He is resting on the big dog bed right now, with the leg that was run over/dragged through gravel, thoroughly cleaned and bandaged. The biggest problem right now is the debris in the wounds.
He needs to have the bandages changed every day for the next 4 days while we figure out how his leg will heal. Apperently, dogs skin heals differently than ours.
Then, we can decide if he needs stitches on his skin.
My DH threw a tourniquet on him, and the vet said it might have saved his life.
Heh.
It could have been his head.
We are so lucky!

Whatever you do, don't give him Oxycontin.

We are so lucky! We lost a half-grown shepherd many years ago. He was gorgeous, and going to be BIG, but when he escaped the yard onto the highway, it wasn't enough.
