Clare mauls Barn2's ear (WITH LATEST UPDATES)

MONDAY 5 October

Lover boy Barn2 tried to say hello to Clare. (we thought the worst was over so we let them meet)
Before he could even get near her, she growled.
Before he tried any key moves - like mounting her- she mauled his ear.
Arrgh.

Pray that his ear would heal properly.

She's a little Hannibal Lector...(we still can't find the missing piece of his ear. Guess she swollowed it. Yuks)

The wound opened after an hour or so. Blood was everywhere (whenever Barn2 shook his head, the blood would be splattered around the room). We rushed him to Jireh Vet Clinic.

UPDATE: TUESDAY

When we could not change the bandage this evening without blood flowing from his wound, we took him back to Dr Christopher Tham. This is the new configuration:

Later in the evening, we tried to loosen the bandage because Barn2 felt uncomfortable. We had problems putting new bandages on after that...he kept shaking his head and reopening his wound. At around 8pm, it got really bad. His wound spurted blood....lots. We rushed him to Dr Tham. At the clinic- the blood spurting effect can be seen on the floor. He was put on GA and stents were introduced to stop the bleeding.

We finished around midnight. Barn2 is now sleeping...at home. Poor boy. Very exhausted.

WEDNESDAY:

Barn2 seemed more cheerful today. No more bleeding. PTL. But he is more sleepy than usual...

I guess the whole episode had been rather traumatic for him. Pray that his hole-y ear will heal well and the 'gap/hole' will be filled with new flesh...We are using manuka honey on it..

UPDATE: WEDNESDAY 14 October

The wound is healing slowly. There had to be a lot of adjustments in the house. Barn2 has to wear the collar daily....

The only part he seems to enjoy is that....

Clare either sleeps with her Dada or....
