paw fight club

OMG! It was a horrible big tragedy!

6.30pm yesterday: It was feeding time. I'd just put down food for the pups and they were feeding on their milk and kibbles. Then I put down both Trinity's and Tristan's food bowls for them. As soon as I gave them the command to eat, Tristan went over to Trinity and picked a fight with her cos he wanted to have some of her food. It was the most ferocious of fights I've seen from them. Then I quickly tore Tristan away and as soon as I did, I looked at Trinity in horror. There was something wrong with her right eye - it was popping out! *shocking* It's like a scene from the cartoons where the eye pops out of the socket - I kid you not. It was awful. What a freak accident! This was how it looked - warning: it is not a pretty sight!



During the fight, Tristan must have somehow paw-ed out her eye. I panicked and felt so scared for Trin. Somehow she didn't seem to feel any pain as she was not crying out at all - apparently she was in shock. I quickly got her to the vet. The doc sedated her and put her on a saline drip. Then he used ice packs to try to reduce the swelling of the eye. He had to keep putting eye drops on her eye so that it doesn't dry out. Then he tried to push the eye back into the socket. *ouch* It was such a terrible sight. My poor baby! *sob*

It took a while before he managed to somehow push the eye in a little and close the eyelid. He then stitched the eye closed. The eye has still not completely been pushed into its socket due to the swelling. He would have to try again when the swelling subsides further. So the doc gave some painkillers and a collar for her to wear so that to prevent her from scratching that eye.



My poor poor baby. After all she's been thru from pupbirth, being weak from nursing, and now this! When we got home, Tristan didn't even realised what had happened. Although when he sniffed Trin, he somehow had a guilty look on his face. I wonder if he realised what he'd done. But how can I stay mad at him. Sigh...my bad bad boy.

I hope Trin's eye is gonna be ok and that her vision has not been impaired. *pray*pray* We have to return to the vet later to find out. What a nitemare!
