I lasered a 15 year old sh*tzu named Baby that was bit by her son's pitbull. It happened yesterday morning. The owner was unable to get her dog into the veterinarian until 10:00am the next day. I had talked to the owner on the phone as I was getting rid of a ladder through the app called next door. She told me what happened and I offered to take a look at her dog. The owner said Baby would not let her look. Baby was not interested in eating or moving around much. I found a puncture on the neck which was in the same area that she had a large cyst. I shaved the area. She definitely was sore. I ended up lasering her entire neck area including the wound. Also her upper thoracic spine since the dog had been shaken by the larger dog. Got her prescribed on some antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. I talked with the owner this morning and she said the dog was moving better and ate up his meal. She brought the dog into the clinic to be checked out. Nothing further was done.
Owner was very happy that I was able to help her out vs waiting so Baby was more comfortable through the night.
