Maggie's Mishap Part II

Is this craziness ever going to stop? So our day started out like this. McKenzie seemed a bit under the weather so I pretty much let her rest and do a whole lot of nothing.....which is nothing new. I knew something was up when she had picked at her dinner the night before and barely touched her breakfast. She wasn't evern interested in treats! I was a little concerned but figured she would get through it. Cesario on the other hand was a bit worried and had me make a vet appointment. I took her in and turns out she had a temprature. The vet did some blood work and it all came back fine. He said the temprature typically indicates infection so he gave her an antibiotic shot as well as oral antibiotics and cortizone.

We had been home about 45 minutes and we had just sat down to eat dinner. We were eating and talking about our day. The next thing you know Maggie brushes up against McKenzie and that was it..........DOG FIGHT!!! Luckily we were right there and Cesario separated them almost immediately. He took McKenzie to our room and I grabbed Maggie. Everyone appeared fine until I looked down and saw specks of blood. I told Cesario, "someone is bleeding." We checked both girls and I saw nothing. Then I looked at Maggie's face and she was bleeding from her eye, ugh!!!
I swooped her up, called the vet and away we went.

As soon as we arrived they took her in checked her out. Her eye appeared fine but was cut on the lower lid. The doctor said she would need stitches. He told me they would need to sedate her and sew her up. My concern was her age and I asked him abou that. I mentioned she was going to be 13 in January. Right away he told me they would need to do blood work to make sure she was ok. All the blood work came back fine, nothing to be concerned about. They took her to the back and did their business. She wasn't gone very long when the doctor came out and said they were all done. They were waiting for her to come out of sedation. She was such a little trooper!!! We took her home that night and it is funny that after all of that the first thing she did was look for McKenzie.
