Palmer and Riggs got into a scuffle last night. Riggs, (80lbs, 5 months old), did NOT want Palmer to walk by his toy. (we are working on his territorial issues) We are not sure exactly what caused the injuries because I didn't see Riggs bite him, but Palmer's little fingers got caught on something and tore. On his left little hand-paw his middle digit was totally pulled out of socket and required to be removed all the way to the bone. On his right hand-paw he had to have his little thumb nail removed. They may have given him his pink camo bandages because he's small. Everyone always assumes he is a girl because he is small... or maybe they were out of green camo but really wanted him to have it since hunting season just began. :)
He is home now and just took his first dose of pain meds and is out like a light on his tiny bed. Three days with his bandages and then we should be able to remove them. Poor little guy. I was terribly worried about him and his little surgery today but he is doing great. Little guy with a big spirit.
Love to all,
