Gil's Accident

Gil had a little accident last week. He jetted out the back door after a squirrel (as per usual). I have warned him on numerous occasions of the dangers of this practice but he has not heeded my advice. Well, on this particular day he leaped across the stream at top speed but misjudged his landing!! Instead of landing on his feet on the other side, he hit his belly area on the edge of the rocks, cutting and scraping his belly and penis!! I thought he had broken a leg until I lifted him up and saw the blood. Here are a couple pics of the injury site. He's okay now. After an expensive trip to the vet it was determined that nothing was broken and there were no internal injuries. He has some pills for pain and inflammation and is getting back to normal. As of of yet, he has not raced out and crossed the stream like he used to do. He has been taking the bridge!
