How to make an obscene phone call to your local veterinarian
"Hi! Our dog Griffon is bleeding from his, um, penis? And we don't know why. We can't stop the bleeding. Should we bring him in?"
That's the message I left for our vet at about 8 p.m. last night after we noticed our German shepherd splattering blood all over the kitchen and living room floors (don't ya just love light beige carpet). To give him credit, our vet phoned right back (despite being out of town) and told us it was probably urinary problems and instructed us to wrap him in diapers and an ace bandage to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
So, after nearly 2 hours of drip, drip, drip, puddle, Griffon's bleeding finally stopped. We're waiting to take him in and have him checked out. He looked pretty funny last night with 2 pair of Huggies wrapped around his middle, wearing my hubby's old blue tee shirt and an ace bandage holding the whole shebang together.
