Maggie is doing better this morning. She's on pain meds & antibiotics. The cast on her arm is holding a draining thingie for the wound under her arm.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts!! a

This is just a doggone shame. Were the lab's owners contrite?

Actually after the lab attacked Maggie the owner, dad, said "see this is why we keep him in a kennel". So I'm thinking this has happened before. And even before I let him know she would have to have surgery, he said bring me the bill.

Animal Control is closed today but I talked to our local police department and I'll file a report tomorrow.

Thanks for all the love!!

Aww, Nic, poor little Maggie! I've been through this and know exactly how scary it was for you both! Glad the owners took responsibility.

Does Maggie have a broken leg, or is the cast just to hold the drainage thingee in place? (I love the green shade and the hearts!) Hope she isn't too bothered by all the 'stuff' on her. Guess the pain pills will help with that, though.

Hercky sends a lick of love to your sweet Maggie.

Maggie's so sweet. Hope she feels better soon.

Actually after the lab attacked Maggie the owner, dad, said "see this is why we keep him in a kennel".

That does not sound like a happy dog.

I'm surprised that a lab did this. They are usually so gentle.

Vacanick, so sorry to hear about Maggie's injuries.

It is good that the lab's owner said he will pay the vet bill but looking at that picture of Maggie, it doesn't sound like enough.

I think Maggie, and you, should be compensated for pain and suffering too.

HP ... she doesn't have a broken leg. But she does have a very deep laceration under her front arm. They have a drainage thing in there right now and the bandages are to hold it ... I love the hearts too! The Emergency Animal Clinic was wonderful with us last night.

I was surprised about the lab too. But he came right after her and got 2 big bites. Scary!!!

We'll see about the owners ... I'm giving them the bill to pay me back today.

It's always the owners... the breed can create problems but it's how the animal is handled or not handled. I feel the frustration that many dogs live with is just a breeding ground for this type of behaviour, that comment is quite telling.

Sweet little Mags, I just want to smooch her up... but I'll send hugs to you both instead.

The owner paid me in full for Maggie's emergency treatment last night and apologized over and over again.

Maggie is in the back yard barking at the dog next door. It's funny because she's so off balance. But I think she's feeling better.

I'll contact Animal Control tomorrow.

Thanks for all the hugs!! a

VNick, so sorry to hear about Maggie's and your horrible ordeal. It sounds like the incident didn't damage her psyche too much since she was back outside barking away. I hope she has a quick and full recovery from this. I'm glad the owner of the Lab took responsibility like he did.

That makes my heart ache to see poor Maggie in her cast! Poor baby..I feel so angry for those lab owners. It sounds like they knew that could happen. I am such a firm believer in leashes for ALL dogs when they leave their yard.

Vnicky, I am so sorry to hear about your poor, sweet dollbaby Maggie's run-in with that big bully next door. Glad the owners ante'd up right away. And that Maggie is her usual chipper self. Hope the healing goes well, and it's all just a bad memory, sooner rather than later, hon.

Maggie is feeling better. She's very comfortable here at home. We'll see how she does on our next walk.

This picture shows the puncture wound on her back.

Mags slept most of the day but I did catch her awake a couple of times.

Thank you for all the love & support I appreciate it so much!

Glad you're following through with contacting Animal Control. I believe it was also a Lab that attacked Chiliwilli's little Grandson and she posted some horrific pictures a couple of months ago. If this dog would take out after Maggie, what might happen if someone was walking a toddler in front of their house or a baby waved their hands in their stroller? You truly have to protect the community.

Glad she's feeling better, such a sweet little .

So great to hear Maggie is improving. She sounds just like my folks Yorkie, Minnie. Minnie loves to go out in the backyard and bark at the neighbors. It is like she saying the nerve of them to go out in the own backyards, lol.

I made an official report with Animal Control. He said that there hadn't been any prior reports on the dog that attacked Maggie ... but that doesn't mean it has never happened.

I'm taking Mags to get the drainage thingie out tonight. That will make her feel better!

So glad Maggie's doing better and her attitude is good. I just shudder thinking how it could have ended up.
