We adopted Bella some time back. What a great family member. She joined our Brittany "Jake", and has since been joined by our yellow lab "Landry"
Bella began scratching at her eyes last Thursday and we made a vet appointment. We took her in and he said she had been sprayed with pepper spray. Now, the only time she is outside is when I get home from work and let her out to do her business while I check the e-mail. Any other time and I or my wife are with her. So it had to happen in the afternoon. Her eyes became swollen shut and bloody. We have to put ointment in them twice a day and it hurts her so much that I can hear her teeth pop as she grinds them while I'm cleaning her eyes. I must say she is such a sweet and intuitive dog because it's obvious she knows we're doing it for her own good and doesn't shirk or pull away. She is totally indignant about having to wear a buster collar.
I don't think it was the mail man because he knows her, calls her by name and even gives her a scritch on occasion. We were burglarized a few months ago but they didn't get out of the garage into the house and I suspect it's because they met 150 lbs. of pissed off Dane at the door that adjoins the kitchen. I have been wondering if it wasn't the would be burglars returning to the scene.
Anybody else have this happen to their dog?
It just pisses me off and I had to vent. Thanks for listening.
