While grooming this sweet gentle giant yesterday, I found something on his leg! His momma said that he had been favoring his hind hip, we figured it’s because he was getting old.
Nobody would have been able to see what was really bothering him, until they shaved his coat off.
As I was doing the sanitary trim with the clippers, down the inside of the hind right leg - I found scar tissue that I have only seen on other dogs that have been bit by a rattlesnake !!
This guy must have been bit a couple months back, and survived it with flying colors. His head didn’t even swell up!! God said “You stay there with that family, just a little bit longer.”
So although he is getting old, the real reason behind him favoring that hind leg, is because of a damned old snake.
Just another reason to take your dog to come see me! We will figure things out together. Call me Sherlock homie.
