Whew guys, today was a crazy, hectic, scary emotion day. While out walking the woods with dad today Drago ran full blast into my husbands machete. Instantly my husbands arm flew up and he said it sounded as if a soft ball was being hit. Instantly realizing it was Drago that got hit he called him over in a panic to assess the damage. I woke up from a loud panic scream coming from my living room to see my husband on all fours applying pressure to Dragos face. Me being a nurse practitioner took one look and knew we had to race to the vet immediately. Drago was taken in immediately, sedated and examined. He needed surgery. The machete tore thru the side of the cheek. Luckily It Misses His Eyes Mouth And snout. The vet said he fought the anesthesia tooth and nail, which is so my boy..can't do anything without a fuss or fight. End result was a bunch of stitches, antibiotics and pain meds. My concern now is scarring. He was shaved and the wound I'd say is probably 2.5 to 3 inches long. Has anyone had experience with suture scarring? Will the hair grow back in over the scar? His cheek now looks a bit pulled and disfigured but I'm sure alot has to do with swelling. First and foremost just grateful our pup is ok..just wondering about the healing and scarring. Any advice will help. Thx guys
