Cassie's incident

So yeah, we had quite a weekend. Friday night at 12:30 Cassie and Hunter went out on the deck with my man and they were barking like crazy. Anyways, when I walked in my bedroom after the doggies came in from outside I saw that there was blood on the blanket where Cassie was laying When I looked, it was her paw and there was a LOT of blood.

I called out to Mark to hurry in so we could get a look at it, and realized that she had something going on with a toenail, but there was sooo much blood we could hardly tell.

I called the vet and he told us to get some cotton balls, and tape it on, hoping that it would clot on its own and he bleeding would stop and to call him back in a little while. So that is what we did and the bleeding stopped after a while.

Stupid like we removed the cotton balls so we could see what was really going on. It was a toenail, and it was completely crackd off
So we thought the bleeding had stopped completely and within 5 minutes, it was gushing again. I called the vet back and he said we could go on over if we wanted, but he thought that if it was only the nail to try the cotton ball thing again and it should stop, but to bring her by in the morning. But if within a few minutes, the cotton balls were soaked through to call him back and go on over.

Luckily, this did the trick. It was a little bit of a restless night.:sad:
We have NO idea how she did it. In all the commotion of her barking at something (it must have been a cat or something), that is when she did it and didn't even do anything to let us know that something happened:sad:
