I came close to losing my 10yo lab "pup" today. Let her out back and as soon as I opened the doors, she noticed, then I noticed, two deer, a doe, and one of the biggest bucks (10pt, 12 pt?) I've ever seen around here in the wild. The dog set after both deer and the doe hopped the fence in back to get out. The buck seemed like he would hop out too but at the last second, stopped and turned on my dog, repeatedly plowing her into the dirt with his antlers while she rolled onto her back, yelping in pain. I was running to her barefoot screaming bloody murder and when the buck let up, she came limping and bloody toward me, the buck turned towards me and seemingly wanted to work her or me over some more but I kept yelling and he decided to plow through, not over, the welded wire fencing and into the woods. All panic ensued as I saw large abdominal wound on my girl and got the 24 hr vet on the line. My daughter is crying and everyone is freaking out. Wife and I grabbed some blankets and race out the door with dog in arms, to vet 45 minutes away.
Ultrasound later, they report no visible internal bleeding or organ damage. Later xrays show no broken bones. She had
deep punctures in two places on her belly, one deep on her throat, and one under chin. A bad limp, bruises and contusions but we got real lucky. She is back home after 11 hours and $3,000 and completely knocked out on meds right now. What a g-damn day.
