My dogs freak accident [very graphic pics]

[d3r]

this is basically PSA type of thread. My 100lb doberman had a freakish accident the other day causing a grotesque injury.

He was running in the backyard (full throttle ofcourse) and came up against a bolt sticking out of my kids basketball hoop.

the hoop(and bolt) have been there for years and nothing ever happened.. but it only takes 1 time, right?
$1000 vet bill but hes all fixed up now with 50sum stitches and a slew of medications.

anyway.. i cut the extra threads off and rounded the edges so it doesnt happen again.
i noticed big protruding bolts sticking out of my chainlink gate aswell.

i recommend people with large dogs take a look around
the yard n double check if theres anything around that could cause unnessary damage.

we bought the hoop pre-built so i didnt even realize the bolt was there until this happened.

Ouch indeed...acted like it didnt even happen at first....definitely feels it now though.

That's rough man! At least nobody will attack you now, a doberman with a scar like that is a scary sight for many

Glad hes ok, its amazing the pain tolerance of dogs in general...I know if I just tore the skin off 3/4's of my shoulder with a carriage bolt I'd be asking...crying for morphine and someone to hold my hand haha. On the bright side, if he wasn't scary before, looking like he got in, and won, a good ol' fashioned knife fight will deter anyone from entering your property.

That's gonna make a nasty scar. Hope he's doing okay😢. I'll have to check my yard now! My 180 pound mastiff Rottweiler mix gets running and it takes him about 30ft to slow down.

[ehh]

Whoa that's rough stuff man. Glad he is ok.

I have a Rottweiler. We have to be careful with "pot holes" around the yard because she twisted her ankle really bad once.

Wow.

My 9 year old German Shepard did the jump and fail the landing and tore her mcl. Now I just have to worry about the other one.

Thanks everyone. Hes doing alright. Doesnt like being forced to lay around all day though haha.

These dogs heal like wolverine from X-men. Got the drain tube out yesterday and the 2holes are already closed up.
