I took Diesel to doggie day camp today as me and OH were working long days and unable to tend to him. Hes been there many times before and we have never had a problem.
As i walked in today one of the women on reception stoped me and asked me to wait for the manager 8O . Panick set in as i couldn't see him in the 'ring' where day camp takes place. The manager came in straight away and walked me over to the vet's room. All sorts were going through my mind i really didn't know what to expect.
She started to tell me that Diesel had been attacked and the vet was looking over him to see if he had been bitten 8O
Another dog was trying to paly fight with him and Diesel doesnt really know how to play with other dogs. The other dog a rottweiler im lead to believe was getting annoyed with him and started to get more aggressive with him. The girl in the ring with them was trying to calm the situation down and stop the rottweiler from trying to play fight by distracting him but it didn't work. The rottweiler went for Diesel and get hold of him by the scruff of his neck! :evil:
I spoke to the vet and he said there were just scratches and if the girl had not pulled them apart he could have punctured the skin.
The other dog had been banned from camp.
Diesel was scared silly when i was let in to see him, he wouldn't leave my side and was whimpering. Hes settled down now and is asleep next to me.
Diesel is already a very nervous dog. We have spent a lot of time building up his confidence and this has just taken his back to square one!
Now im in too minds to take him back. He seams to enjoy his time at camp and only goes once a week if that. Or do you think it will be too much for him returning to the place of the innicendt? I dont know what to do.
Thank you in advance
