The misadventures of Mr. Fox…
Following an undisclosed event in a hedgerow on last nights walk, Quill, without any fuss or drama severely butchered one of his toenails - as was evident from his ‘mild limp’ on exiting said hedgerow 🫣
So here he is at his most peaceful - enjoying a chemically induced sleep while the team at Mochdre Vets check out and repair the damage. Note the muzzle, even while under sedative. Nail damage can be extraordinarily painful, he’ll also be waking up rather confused and safety of the vet team is a top priority - for a dog already intolerant of handling by strangers, it’s not unreasonable to anticipate he may have lashed out. Having ensured he views the muzzle as a positive object through training games, the muzzle won’t add to his anxiety in this situation.
Following a smooth recovery (and no lashing out) he’s back home sleeping it off on the sofa - he doesn’t look like he believes my story that no one touched him while he was asleep 😳
Thanks to the whole team at the vets, who always seem to go the extra mile to be accommodating, flexible and compassionate 🥰
