He was pretty out of it after the anesthesia for the stitches. I count 13 stitches.
Thanks for the recommendation on the staple gun. But I'm not sure I would be great at that. We don't hunt birds much anymore and if we do it's usually fairly close to town and not real far from the truck.

Looks like he doesn't mind wearing the cone of shame. LolOh that's not a cone of shame. It is a weapon of mass destruction! He hates that thing.

I feel your pain Chris. I had to take a trip to the vet in Sandpoint on Friday. Luckily we got there 7 minutes before they closed so we didn't get the after hours charge. But Trigger cut his back leg pretty good and had to get 6 staples. Crazy shorthairs! Luckily he just tore his skin and didn't cut any of the muscle so no stiches required, and more importantly, no anesthesia. I'm sure we got off way easier than you did. Dang dogs can be expensive.Oh man. Crazy shorthairs! I wish the regular get would have been open. But at 830 pm on Sunday not too lucky. This was trip #3 for gauge to the emergency vet. Part of me wonders if they could have done without the anesthesia. But oh well. They got us pretty good. Hope trigger heals up well! Once we get the dogs all healed up we will have to get together for a bbq!

you ain't kidding they are a weapon of destruction! We need to repaint the inside of the house and they knock over anything that's not nailed down! Glad to see your buddy is doing fine.Looks like he doesn't mind wearing the cone of shame. LolOh that's not a cone of shame. It is a weapon of mass destruction! He hates that thing.

If Gauge wouldn't have cut muscle too, I bet they could have just done staples without the anesthesia. The vet said Trigger took the staples like a champ. I swear shorthairs don't feel pain... especially in their legs. This is the 3rd serious cut he's had on his legs and every time I think I notice it before he does. Tansy had to spend several days at the emergency clinic last year... I could have bought a custom rifle and topped it with a nice scope for what that set us back.
