Injuried Pirate...

Yes pirate got hurt..and this time again, someone forgotten to close the gate and once again he escaped out of the house..lucky thing is he didnt hurt any dogs/human he saw...he is generally fine with human..just tat sometimes pple tend to be afraid when they see such a big dog...but thank goodness no one was hurt except for Pirate himself...

I went home and saw that all his 4 paws were hurt...his paw pads were hurt due to abrasion..but i must say the abrasion were pretty bad..cause 2 of his paw pad were cut and seem to be dropping off partially..u cant imagine the pain when i saw him like tat...thanks goodness bf helped to wash his wound and apply antiseptic cream on his paws while i was still at work..

As you know pirate is an outdoor trained dog and will only do his pee & poo outside..yesterday i tried to bring him for his pee & poo break..and i realised he got big problem walking..each step he took seems to be in such pain..he was practically limping all the way...i really think his paws hurt alot..the sight of him in pain really hurt me...i tried to carry him to the grass but didnt have such strength to carry a dog weighing 30kg all the way..he took a short pee & poo break and went back home straight..cause i can tell he don't want to walk much due to the pain on his paws..he didnt even poo..my poor boy..

Pirate is still eating and drinking well...still wana play but cant due to his paws...i tried to bandage his 4 paws before taking him for a walk so that his injuried paws will not be exposed to the dirt and bacteria...i tried to apply cream on his paws and he whined alittle when i touched it..it must have hurt so much...

Now i have to put him in a play pen to minimize his movement in hope that his injuried paws will have recover faster...my darling boy looks sad but he seemed to know that the cleaning his wound, applying cream and bandaging his paws i did was all for his good and he finally allowed to me clean him up w/o struggling...

This morning i woke up an hr earlier than usual, as i know i have to give him more time for his pee & poo break, and I need more time to clean his wound and wrap them up..i brought him for his break but he seems to be still in pain..he peed but didnt poo..went back home to clean his wound and bandage them and put him back to his playpen and went to work..

It's tiring to take care of an injuried dog...but he is my dog..no matter how tough it is..i will do my best to make him recover fast..CNY is approaching and now this has to happen..i tink i will be spending alot of my time taking care of my dear boy this CNY..if the folks can make the effort to be more careful..then this wont have happened...this is not the first time he ran out already..i know sometimes the older folks tend to be more forgetful and i cant blame them too...but i hope they can be more careful in future..cause who knows what will happen to him if he run out again...

P.S: Now i am contemplating whether to bring gerger back on CNY..cause if i bring her back..pirate will not be able to play with her cause i wil be limiting his movement..and then pirate and gerger will be seperated which then defeat the purpose ofme bringing gerger back...but then again if i dun bring her back home...it kinda makes me feel guilty...tell me what shld i do? haiz..
