Poor Malaki!

This little 5 pound doggo decided to go visit 3 strange German shepherds next door when they all were doing family photos at the photographer's house. 1 of them was not a friendly 😖.  The owner of the dogs and Jared ran over and Malaki, at first, didn't seem that bad. Jared held him but then pulled him away from his shirt and it was all bloody.
Off to the closest vet open (Sunday evening) they went.


Malaki was shaved down and the damage was tragic.



He had to stay at the vet that night and have blood work done the next day to see if he could handle anesthesia and didn't have thyroid problems that would cause issues with healing.  The next afternoon he finally went into surgery and had drain tubes placed. 


24 hours after that he was released and Sahara and Jared could take him back home.

 

He will have to return in 2 weeks to have staples, stitches and tubes removed.  He has several meds that he has to take 10 times a day.

 

The owners of the German Shepherds did not want to admit to any wrong doing since Malaki had wondered into their yard, but thankfully they did eventually pay for some of the bill directly to the vet.

Sahara says he is eating and acting fine at home.
