Puppy injured, mercy killing suggested!
I got home late from a very long and whole day work project. Hungry and tired, I could not help feel sad and irritated at the same time the people in the house were talking and talking and talking about the whimpering and injured puppy.
Yes, one of the puppies they say was injured by one of our cars while parking in the driveway. I was busy addressing my hunger and thirst. What really got to me were all these women… while the puppy was crying… yakking away the whole 30 minutes… DOING NOTHING!!!
And what is worse, while they have done NOTHING to help or check on the poor puppy, one casually suggests the possibility of MERCY KILLING… euthanasia!!!
This one takes the cake. You have not seen, nor helped, but just yakked away the time, then suggest mercy killing to a puppy who probably just got a bloody nose???
Of course, it had to take a man to get things done.
So I take the puppy to a nearby vet’s house. He sees the puppy, checks that no bones have been broken. Says that maybe the puppy did just get a bloody nose, it could be worse, but we will just have to check in the morning. Vet says to wash the poppy so blood doesn’t clot his nostrils, give a mucus suppressant and some pedialite for hydration, the puppy got stressed and might suffer from dehydration. Pedialite unavailable in the neighborhood drug store so instead I got orange flavoured gatorade.
Will the puppy survive? Without the mercy killers… probably; I will let you know.
