Picture this: Beau and I are home cooking dinner... It's around 6:45pm when the phone rang. It was my dad asking if I could come over to take a look at Bow.
Let's go back a few hours, shall we.
My parents took Bow to get groomed. While trimming her ear someone had closed a door, scaring Bow. This caused her ear to get nicked. Complete accident and we still love our groomer.
Fast forward back to dinner time -- I head over to my parent's house to find Bow's ear dripping blood. Dripping! And when she shook her head, blood everywhere! It's after 7 by this point so instead of going to my normal vet, I called another local doctor who will see people after hours. He told us to come on up...
Now mind you, emotional panicky mom mode sets in. My baby girl is hurt and there is nothing I can do to take the pain away. My heart was broken while I looked into her sad, little eyes.
We get there and put her on the table. The blood had her fur all matted so he shaved her ear. My poor baby hated it! I don't blame her though - it probably hurt like hell. Once we got down to the cut, we saw that it was small but was bleeding like the dickens. The doctor decided that it needed to be stitched.

He put a stitch in her ear then we held a piece of medicated gauze on it for a few minutes. All looked good.
My dad and the doctor went to the front desk to do the paperwork. Of course, Bow shook her head and more blood FLIES! All over the floor, table, my shirt, pants, feet, on my arms, neck, and even on my glasses! As Beau put it, it looked like I was involved in a massacre.
I called the doctor back in and he decided he needed to Derma Bond her ear as well. After that, he put a bandage on to help keep the bleeding under control. Once we got home, there was still some blood when she shook her head but he had given her a tranquilizer before leaving the office so she was getting pretty sleepy.
By this morning, she was no longer bleeding and was good as new...
Well, if new meant a stitch, glue, and tape!
My poor baby girl!
Momma loves you and hopes you feel better soon <3
