Yes, those coyotes were in KILL mode and were very intent on figuring out to get at her underneath her coat...they had mentally blocked out everything else around them.<br /><br />Cindy Sue is very healthy I happy to report! She didn't learn a thing about running off by herself though...I have to keep a VERY close eye on her...her terrier nose always leads her astray :(gtyyuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402170522183324256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-31803213885291933412012-02-04T13:06:36.157-08:002012-02-04T13:06:36.157-08:00Hello from Kansas, I just found your blog through ...Hello from Kansas, I just found your blog through Friday Fences (my first visit there too) and I came across this post as I was snooping around your blog. My gosh your little Cindy Sue is one lucky little dog! That scares the bejeebers out of me as we live on a little farm and have a pack of coyotes that follows the creek just to the north of us. We have two Shih Tzu's that run around at will on the farm with their buddy Shep our Akbash. After seeing these photo's I realize how determined coyotes can be when they REALLY set their minds to killing something! Imagine them not even taking off when you were screaming and running towards them along with your other dogs...that's frightening. I'm so glad all went well for her. Hopefully I haven't missed any posts where there were problems with her healing. I'll be back to read more another time. Hope your weekend is a good one.<br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-45400980217510868252011-01-24T20:06:43.034-08:002011-01-24T20:06:43.034-08:00So sorry to hear your little dog is hurting so bad...So sorry to hear your little dog is hurting so badly. :( I'm sure she's much happier being at home with you caring for her though!

Her wounds look terrible - poor thing. She is one lucky dog!<br />We have larger dogs and the cones were a nuisance. They were constantly running into us, the walls, furniture, etc. I knew it couldn't be comfortable for them, either. Our vet tech suggested a T shirt. I wonder if an infant shirt would work for Cindy Sue? Maybe even a large onsie - since she doesn't have a tail, you wouldn't even have to cut a hole!!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-773865088815093982011-01-24T07:18:41.746-08:002011-01-24T07:18:41.746-08:00Poor little soul!

Sending healing energy to little Rattie girl to get better soon. I know those bites must hurt terribly. When our dog Petey got bit by the copperhead he won't drink either. I used a large syringe to give him water. Since he got bit on the nose and lip it probably hurt to drink but finally he did on his own.<br />Being a caregiver is hard work, you and your man take care of yourselves too.<br />hugs, love and prayers to you all,<br />janejane augensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053766605374583376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-12299557050270915732011-01-24T01:09:44.377-08:002011-01-24T01:09:44.377-08:00And I forgot to ask you about the beautiful brown ...And I forgot to ask you about the beautiful brown eggs at the vet's office(photo third from bottom).

But it could have ended so much differently, especially if they had bitten deeper in her neck, and through her jugular. She's very lucky and obviously a little fighter. She's so brave!<br />I hope she can feel all of our love and support that we're sending her.<br /><br />I hope she continues to heal and starts drinking some water soon. Can you open a can of tuna fish and mix the tuna broth into her water?<br />That worked for us when we had problems getting our very old dog to drink water.

I am glad she is now home with you.<br />When my cat was attacked by a dog, he was at the emergency vet for 3 1/2 weeks. His skin did die over 20% of his body and had to have the dead skin removed and then skin stretching surgery. He almost died a couple times. But thankfully he made it through. It is so difficult to see our beloved pets go through something like this.<br />Will be thinking of you guys!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-37449289309238050092011-01-23T19:38:57.092-08:002011-01-23T19:38:57.092-08:00Oh my gosh, poor Cindy Sue!!!

My girls stay close, but at night I am always worried. I can't see beyond the circle of the porch light. Ella and Paris both like to stray just outside the light to do their business and I'm always afraid of why might be out there, specifically thinking of coyotes. I cluck like a mother hen fussing at them to get back in the light, and now I'll be fussing all the louder. They need to look at Cindi Sue's pictures. Maybe they'll listen better if they see what might happen to them. Bless her little heart.
