Now thats a goodun right there boys. I never thought I would say this but I believe hog hunting is taking a toll on old Grant, he is the roughest lookin fella in that motley lookin crew.
These pics were being shot a few minutes after I had Ben tied to a cedar and saw his leg muscle hanging out, an artery beeting like the heart and his bone for about 3 inches of his leg....I had alot on my mind! I just kept thinking of De's ridgeback that had a similiar injury that retired him, I am pulling for the Rowdy and ruby comeback story
I took him to the emergency vet (only 1 open on sunday), worried about my pocket book and the bunny huggers. I was greeted by a young man with died hair, an eye brow ring, and a funny "lisp"
--he soon realized our conversation was done and got the vet. I explained I was not worried about Ben dying, this wasn't our first rodeo, but simply him hunting again, so to check the tendons etc. He came back and said no tendons were cut, there is a possibly joint damage but he couldnt tell or do anything for it, and it would cost $750 to sew him up with a drain tube in it. He was real cool, I told him I could handle it paid the $90 office visit and he gave me the drain tube under the table. Went home, vinny held him after the rompum kicked in put a few staples in, left the bottom open to drain and will keep the wound clean and cut heel on it....Only time will tell but i hope he hunts again My gut says he will!
