A dog bit Lucy’s leg yesterday which led to a midnight visit to the emergency vet. She has puncture wounds and an infection and she’s in a lot of pain but is on track for recovery. If anyone has tips for suffering dogs besides the puppy narcotics they gave us I’m all ears. 
She’s just standing around moaning and whining from the pain 🙁
We have also given her CBD oil and it helps to a point, mostly to calm her down, but she’s definitely still suffering.
Just to be clear we are also giving her all the medications prescribed by the vet! Just looking for something extra to take the edge off for the poor girl.
Lucy is doing better tonight. She’s eating again (as long as we mix her kibble with salmon) and drinking water, finally. Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and tips, I think the vet meds + CBD + special treats + constant affection and distractions is the magic combination!
I am sleeping in the guest room because Lucy insisted on sleeping in my spot in the big bed (by whining and moaning when placed anywhere else) and I am the world’s biggest pushover.
You would let Lucy steal your spot too if it spared you from seeing her make this face 🥺
