Oh that's terrible Juan, it's very upsetting when anything bad happens to our animals.
I hope she can heal OK from this wound.
racoons do look so cute, but yes, just a reminder that they are a wild animal, and
have that 'other' side.
I have dealt with many unhappy events throughout the years with my animals.
Many years ago my daughters and I were driving around in Surrey, and I noticed a 'smell',
and it became stronger, we went home, I opened the hood, and our neighbours cat was cooked
on top of the motor.
When I was a little girl, our big black persian was lying outside in the yard, and couldn't
walk, hind legs just split apart, she couldn't stand on them, vet said she had broken pelvis,
"try keeping her in large box with rug on bottom", we did that and she healed just fine.
One of our own cats, was making a mournful sound outside one morning, I went to check her
out, and she had a huge 'slit' right across her side, she had been sleeping inside of our truck,
where the motor is,
and when my husband started it up, it obviously slit her wide open, she must have vacated
the truck unbenounced to him, but, the vet had to put her down, too severe.
One morning in surrey, years ago, I saw our beautiful orange persian, slumped down in our
front yard, picked her up, took her to the vet, she was drizzling white substance out of her
mouth, she had been poisened, had to put her down.
We were camping at nicola lake many many years ago, my husband went on his motor bike to
the store, and we didn't notice our lab leave and follow him, and he was run down by a
car on the highway, he came back to the camper badly injured, had to take him to kamloops and he was put down. (I still feel guilty about that one, after 40 years).
My husband and I drove into the driveway a few years back, and our tabby cat ran out as she
always did, but something didn't go quite right, and she ended up under the wheel, she died
in my arms about an hour later, we both cried watching her suffer.
I was tube feeding new born puppies, (new at it), and I mistakenly put the tube into its lung,
instead of stomach, died instantly. Never made that mistake again.
Two dogs during our life just dissapeared, never saw them again, and the same with two
of our cats, one cat disappeared for 3 weeks, came back very skinny, and slept for 3 days
straight, just waking up to eat and drink.
When we were very young we weren't responsible with our dogs, didn't take long to
smarten up, and make sure they 'stay' in the yard, or house.
Our dogs haven't left our yard without us for many years.
