This is my 10 month old chocolate lab "Malty" . While out walking he was playing with my springer and ended up rolling over him and into a hedge that contained a sheet of tin all overgrown and out of sight. The injury took 3 hours on the operating table and about 40 stitches. To add insult to injury, 4 days after the op he took an infection and all his stitches pulled through his skin so had to be re-done early hours of sunday morning. Been 3 days since that and he is getting back to his mischievious self, so fingers crossed. Just goes to show, its not what hazzards you can see you have to worry about, its the ones you cant!
