When the Vet first started to evaluate Bo he tried to bite her and actually was snarling at her and limping toward her. She left and got a muzzle and continued. That is when we knew something was really wrong.
Skip this paragraph if you have a weak stomach and start reading below....Thank goodness we went that night because shortly after we got there a bunch of thick blood started pouring out of Bo where normally a yellow liquid would come out.
The Vet told us it is common that a dogs bladder burst when they get hit like that and they needed to take him back for an x-ray. We didn't get to go and she didn't really tell us what would happen they just rushed him off. So we sitting in the waiting room listening to him yelp and cry for about 20 min. Then he was quiet for about 5 min and the vet came and got us to look at the x-ray. She said the bladder and all tubing were in tact but he had internal bleeding from the trauma.
Long story not quit so long, he is healing (he used the restroom and ate today) and as long as he heals ok he will be fine. He is on antibiotics and pain killer and limps around if he walks.
Here is a picture of Bo tucked in last night when we got home. He didn't move for at least an hour (I went to bed after that). Sad, but very cute.
Here is a picture of Bo this afternoon feeling much more chipper. He is holding his tiger that he normally parades around the house holding in his mouth, but he is sitting enjoying his "kill."

Sorry to hear about Bo. When Squeaker tore her ACL it was a rough few days (or so Sarah told me).
On an unrelated note, our GPS is known as Katherine.
Second unrelated note, we bought printer paper today and we were sure to get GP. The barcoding on top said GPLTV7G19152_LT7G771_1254. Did this come from your mill?
