Thanks for the update Mercedez.
Im going to say if Opa has made it this far he should be fine!!!!
No idea what the dogs situation was but Im sorry it ended the way it did.

Do NOT be angry with yourself.
Sometimes •••• happens.
You deal with it then move on.
Ask me, I know.

Mercedez- my heart goes out to you.... I am so sorry this happened. I just caught up on the thread. My poor friend, you must have had QUITE the stressful day in the last 24 hours. But Opa is a fighter and I definitely will be sending him positive vibes all night tonight when I'm at work!
Lots of :hug8: for you!

Oh my gosh. What an ordeal!
I'm so sorry that happened and I don't blame you for euthanizing Beez. Once a dog starts attacking humans, sometimes it is the best decision.

I am so sorry for all that you went through. No one is judging you here. You did what you thought was right. Try to get some rest and take care of yourself so you can be there for Opa.:hug8:

No judging Mercedez. Not by me - that's for sure. I am so happy you found Opa and was able to get him medical attention. Even if blind and deaf - at least he will have a safe and loving home for the rest of his days. You did a great job!

If Opa ends up being blind in one eye, he will adjust. My Paco is blind in his right eye, and is still a marvelous flier, and always lands with precision.

Mercedez, glad you are OK from the bites and that you found OPA....stay strong, you have to eat to make sure you are OK to take care of OPA when he comes home....can't do that if you are stress/sick! Cayenne pepper will do a better job at clotting the blood wound better than flour!!!! It stops it COLD! .....
Take it one small step at a time....He has made it this far and that is good...many hugs coming for you!:hug8:

I'm so glad you got Opa and I hope he's healing. With all the prayers and good wishes going up he should be on the mend!!
You take care of yourself, take the time to relax and eat a bit. I know it's hard but you need to stay well and strong for when Opa is back with you.

Mercedez, I am glad Opa is doing a little better. I will keep praying for him, and for you. I can't imagine how difficult yesterday must have been for you, and stressful it must be having your Opa in the hospital. Hopefully he will recover quickly and be able to come home to be with you soon.
