People that Abuse/Torture Animals

I love my dogs. They are each and everyone a part of my family. Last week one of the dogs, Ivory, appeared to have gotten stung or bitten on her snout. She had been hiding (not unusual or Pomeranians) and had been refusing to come out and didn’t want anyone to mess with her. Well, I thought, dogs are fairly good at taking care of most anything that happens to them. When I finally was able to coax her out; her snout was very swollen. It looked like a small balloon stuck where her snout & nose should have been. While she would allow me to hold her, any attempt to look at her snout closely was evaded and at times she would even get a bit aggressive if pushed. So, I left her alone. Now that the swelling has come down, I can see what really happened.

At the back of her mouth, it would appear that some wire or fine string was wrapped around her snout through her mouth. Both sides of her mouth have been sliced completely. It makes it look as though her snout and nose are just hanging there.

I’ve checked my yard very carefully and I can find no areas in the chain link fence that would account for this specific type of would. I believe it was wire or some really, strong string because across the top of her snout is a slight crease where the swelling abruptly stops. This lines up exactly with the cuts on both sides of her mouth.

I am so pissed! If I ever find out who did this I may just go off on their evil worthless carcass. People that do things like that to animal deserve whatever foul fate Karma hands them. I’d just like to be around to see it happen. I have to make a decision. I have to decide if I should put Ivory down or just see I fit will heal on it’s own. I already know I fit does heal she will still have the gashes on either side of her snout. With out surgery at least. I just had surgery myself. I’m not in a position to put up the money it would cost to have a Vet fix this. I am thinking that under the circumstances putting her to sleep may be best for her. It is killing me to have to make this decision. She has suffered with this for a week already because we thought it was just a bee sting or maybe a minor snakebite. If I had realized how bad this was when it first happened, I can’t say that I would be doing anything different as my financial situation wasn’t much better obviously.

I catch anyone messing around my dogs again and I am automatically going to assume they intend to harm them. I sill have a decision to make and it isn’t one that I ever thought I would have to make. Let me learn the identity of the idiot that did this to my dog and I think I may be able to make a decision more quickly concerning them. Yeah, I’m pissed! I’ve had Ivory for about 8yrs now. I certainly hope I don't hae to have her put down because I’m going to miss her.
