Eventful....and all before 9am!!

Hi all.
So, this morning started with an early walk to let Theia have a run as her season is finished. She disappeared into some shrubbery and wouldn't come out. When I went to investigate, I found this fella...



His wings are broken,  with bones visible. It looked like he had flown into overhead lines.
so, I rang the RSPCA, gave them the info, and said I would wait a while for someone to come. We went into another field, where Theia busied herself  chasing magpies. When she came back to me she was limping, when I looked, her pad was split open, and pouring with blood! So then a dash home leaving a bloody trail! Straight to the vet, where they knocked her out to stitch it up!! This is all befoe 9.30!!  
She is home now, and feeling very sorry for herself!  



And she is fairly zonked!!



Used FB 26-02-16

And it seems we have a recurring theme. Here's Floyd after doing the same!!  

Poor baby lol

Wee darling

Oh no poor Theia, no idea what she did? poor birdy too. What an eventul morning

We think it was glass Inez.

Grrrr I find the stuff everywhere especially in the woods here!

It was probably on the edges of a football pitch. We're the same with the glass, almost everywhere. And if it's not my dog then it's my bike that gets punctured!!

Oh Theia what have you done

You poor girl... gonna have to have a few days for rest I think. Hope it heals nice and quick

Your still a gorgeous girl even with big plaster on your Paw

Sorry Ian, but she isn't looking her best now! She won't leave the bandage alone, so the lampshade is out...

Oh no.. The cone of shame

Flo says she'll teatch you how to get the cone off easily Theia

aaaww...bless...but that's a proper lamp shade..eh..?

It's massive!! She is walking into everything!
Luckily it's attached to her collar so it's going nowhere, tho I might trim it down a bit!!

aww bless her,heal quickly Theia

Has the cone caught yer legs yet

when my old staff had to wear one..one winter when we had snow....there were rings all over the place on where he had been sniffing... ...hope she gets well soon...

aww hope theia heals quickly poor wee soul

Oh dear what an eventful morning, poor Theia hope it heals very soon. Rocky did this and it took about 10 - 14 days to heal completely. Hubby put a tiny drop of T Tree oil on the bandage to stop him nibbling at it, Rocky doesn't like the smell of that stuff.

Do you know what happened to the heron ?

We were wondering what we could use to keep her off it, we'll look into that thanks Kathy. We have a little experience of the lampshade. Our old boy Floyd was coned off more times than the M25!

I should also have said thanks to you all! She's doing pretty good, she gets a little frustrated now and again but while she's awake it's eyes on so we're managing,just!!
The thing that's the most frustrating is she's 3 weeks into her 1st season, which looks like it's finished, and that was her first proper off lead walk in 3 weeks! Now we're looking at another 2 weeks minimum on lead!

Aww poor baby she looks very very sorry for herself pretty bandage tho!!

Poor girlie I hope she is recovering!! Shoulda left the cute bandage alone though Theia now you have to suffer the cone of shame!

Thanks for the comments!
Another day, a different bandage! The vet can't seem to put a bandage on that stays in place, so I bought the bandages off them and did it ourselves!! The chicken one is especially cute, but hope we don't need to use the one with the sheep on!!!!
Lynn

... Those bandages are great.

She still doesn't look impressed though

She's not Ian, but they keep me entertained!!
Lynn
