Bucket Head

One of our boskop dogs, Spots has had a very tough time lately. For a while now spots has had a runny eye due to his eyelid facing backwards which caused irritation. Spots has also been due to have his manhood taken away. So seeing as we had plenty of vets around due to our annual work ups it was decided to take him to our clinic and have both procedures done at the same time.

But if that was bad enough we also had to take a sperm sample, so poor Spots had to suffer the ordeal of being manually ‘assisted’ by a Mexican vet in front of an audience. He was then put to sleep and the prospect of more little Spots running around was taken away forever. I sat with him while he regained consciousness and he looked a pitiful sight with a bloody eyelid and nether regions.

Too add insult to painful injury we have had to put a big cone around his neck so he doesn’t try and pull his sutures out and despite all he has gone through we just can’t help but laugh and have re-named him, for now, as Bucket Head!!

Sorry Spots, but we do love you......honest!!
