Glad it is healing well now!!!!Amy, Laika, Owen and Salsa

Yes, Amy it was kind of hard, but that is such an odd place, and it did not seem to be bothering her, and I did not pay that much attention until it burst.. Owie.
I do remember that one morning when she had :vomit: runny squirty poops ALL IN the pretty pink princess stroller... and it was a couple of days later this sore showed up so I bet it made her sick to her stomach when she got bitten.Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Wagoner 1993-2012.

:holyshp: that is awful. Poor HRH I hope it heals with no problems.
Healing
for Duchie.
They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon

Western Ky is infested with black widows and brown recluses. Her crate is in the floor of our bedroom and she has multiple blankies in there at all times.

He said if it had been a tumor that caused the rupture, he would have been able to see the tumor or the remainder of one. And there was no evidence of a cyst or anything.
And there was some dead tissue he had to :vomit: remove...Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Wagoner 1993-2012.
