 Poorly Springer. - R.P.
Got bitten by another dog right in the groin. Ripped a of 50p sized flesh open exposing muscle. An op to insert a drain and stitch the wound under general anaesthetic - then the indignity of wearing a funnel (if you have tiled floors you'll understand how irritating this is for all) Cocker relegated to sleeping in a cage to avoid licking etc. Back today to remove the drain and staple the wound that caused. Been funnel-less since coming home as he does not seem inclined to touch the wound, but will re-install tonight. He is clearly uncomfortable as he has taken to napping standing up resting his head on my lap - which is unusually "cuddly" behaviour for him.

Not too worried as he is still eating healthily and seems to be healing quickly.

Ouch, that sounds nasty.

Our Beagle is also walking round with a lampshade over her head at the moment having been spayed yesterday. And we have tiled floors in the passage and kitchen.

Not sure I'd let him rest his head on my lap though.

Yes Zeddo - he's finally relented now and succumbed to sleep on his bed - he's been sleeping upright for the last hour or so fighting it. Your name came up in conversation today - washing machine packed up. Think I got it working again. Mrs RP said "Zero would know" guess she reads more in here than she lets on.
