Our hunting dog, Sam the Chocolate Lab, got into a tussle with a wild hog. Sam lost. He had a "stitching" at the vet's office yesterday. The thing is, this happened 1 week ago but Mike didn't see it, nor did I, until this past weekend. Apparently momma hog got him with her teeth or hoof. It was right in his chest, and looked like a precision scalpel incision - not what you would think another animal would do. Sam never showed any signs of being hurt or in pain and no blood. And, to make matters worse, while they were working on him, they had to put him out to sew up this six inch incision, they found a tumor which they biopsied. We will know more today on that. Mike is fearing the worst, as this is what his beloved Mookie had and the cancer took her. So today I am praying that Sam will be o.k. and that whatever happens, Mike will be ok too.
On a positive note, Sam was up and running around today like he didn't have a pain or a care in the world. Dogs are so resilient!
