I really thought it was a bear. Even if a mountain lion would be more likely to attack in that way... I still thought it was a bear!! Bears are only dangerous if provoked and I had no doubt Kimber would chase one until it reacted. I now know it was in fact a freakin MOUNTAIN LION...

@Latestarter, OH! Those are games, like risk and monopoly in wooden boxes. :D:D:D Not that we haven't wanted bee's. They are just not something we are willing to start yet. And probably not for at least another 4 or 5 years.

On another note... Smith has been missing since a day or two after Kimber's injuries.... He was the only healthy LGD we had left, even if we always called him our useless LGD.... We have been trying to find him, or at least find out what happened to him. We have had no luck whatsoever. Smith...

I don't actually know what those are! Which picture are you referring to? But yes, the wound area does look better. The cleaning helped but taking out some of the tubes and stitches, and adding more/different ones helped. @CntryBoy777, it is frustrating when you see them messing up their own...

I certainly wish the staples would have held. At this point, they have removed some of the drainage tubes and put in another. We should remove the tubes next Tuesday or so, and the stitches they opted for next Friday... I sure hope things work out according to plan this time!!!

Because I am morbid, or maybe it is my "vet" side, I have even more pictures... They had to keep her Monday evening and put her back under on Tuesday for surgery again to fix the damage she had done. I picked her up as they were closing Tuesday night. She was so wobbly she tried falling...

Well, I haven't officially updated here. I am going to start with the pics of us on the way to the vet because they are just cute. :love:love These are the pics of why I brought her back to the vet. She had torn out her staples and the stitches underneath.

@BrendaMNgri, there is a lot that we do not agree on. But there is much that you posted in my thread that we can agree on. I ABSOLUTELY agree that we are absolutely desperate for LGDs at this point. The problem with looking at another LGD rather than breeding (I assure that I fully understand...

I used to swear by vetericyn until I found out it was nothing but chlorine and water in a "patented" formula. After this, I have found equal success using hydrogen peroxide and/or alcohol etc to clean wounds. It really doesn't help that every time someone walks by, she whines and simply "begs"...

That is exactly the problem! Walking past her without stopping and loving on her is simply impossible!

They are staples actually. So they will have to be removed. I do not have any triple antibiotic ointment unfortunately.

They have seemed to stay fairly moist by themselves. I do not actually have neosporin. Is there something else that might work for that as well? We have been putting a warm soaked rag over it on occasion to help things and try and keep it a little cleaner.

Well, Kimber has continued to improve. She feels better though she is still limping. These are some pictures from this past week. These are pictures of Kimber begging for a petting! And some more from Friday. This morning when I went downstairs she started whining. I just had to...

Today when I got home, Kimber was standing and waiting for us. After taking her out, she came back in and spent a large part of the evening going from person to person for hugs and love! :love If she wasn't already showing signs of annoyance at being stuck inside I might start to worry I was...

@babsbag, that always cracked me up to! I kept trying to figure out how that made sense! My father insisted we learn all about cougars since we always hunted on Mt. St. Helens. What TN was saying was absurd. I also know that cougars can kill a dog very quickly. However, my friend north of me had...

@Kimberly83, yes we have mountain lions in our county. I have not heard of sightings in my part of it though. A friend in a different part of my county said the wound looked like wounds her goats, dogs, and horses got from mountain lions. She did finally get pictures of that mountain lion but at...

Oh! Thanks for reminding me! I was supposed to draw blood for preg checks this weekend! I will try and get that done tonight and give it to UT in the morning.

Very, very true! :D Sorry Bay! While Kimber was waking up, she would moan until I got down on the floor so she could set her head in my lap. That is where I spent much of my time Saturday night and Sunday. Such a spoiled adorable darling!

@Baymule, Taking it to a pound a couple counties away is actually a great idea. I could have taken it with me to Knoxville today and not had to wait until our little backwater opens tomorrow! Kimber absolutely loves hugs. She doesn't mind pets but she doesn't love them like hugs. When you go...
