Eventful Evening!

So, it seems that with every puppy I get something must go wrong at an early age. With Nala, it was a broken leg at ten weeks old that resulted in three surgeries at Michigan State, and now with Miley we had to make an emergency trip to the vet last night. I have been trying to make Nala feel like she isn't being replaced, so I got her a special treat at the store last night. I gave Miley a little treat and gave Nala hers as well. Miley finished hers right away and Nala was still working away on hers since it was quite a big treat. Miley went up to Nala and tried to steal hers and Nala gave her a little growl as she normally does telling her to stay away. Miley then tried to do it again and Nala snapped at her.
Miley is a big baby and if the cat hisses at her she cries, so I thought she was overreacting. I yelled at Nala then went to pick up Miley and comfort her when I figured out that she was bleeding uncontrollably from her head. I immediately rushed her up to the bathtub hoping to figure out where the wound was, but the blood was just pouring out. I was panicking not knowing what to do since Nick was at work and it was almost 6pm and the vet was closed, so I called Nick. He told me to just drive to the vet which is only about three miles away and somebody would most likely be there.
I wrapped Miley in a towel and drove about 80 mph down the road with her in my lap. Luckily there were a few people there, so as I rushed into the office both of us covered in blood they took her into the back to examine her. I cleaned myself up in there bathroom and waited until they came out to tell me her condition. They had to sedate her so she would calm down and they could find the wound, injected her with some pain medicine, and shaved a little spot by her ear and finally found the puncture. They sent us home with a loopy puppy, and a weeks worth of pain medicine and antibiotics. She is going to be fine, she will jut have a sore head for a few days. She's back to biting and tearing up the house already today! I've always heard that head wounds bleed a lot, and after last night I can definitely vouch for that now!
All in all it was an expensive and eventful night for the whole family! We just have to watch Nala a little more with her treats until she get more aquatinted with the puppy, and everything will be fine. Yesterday Miley was trying all day to play with Nala and being ignored, now today Nala is trying to play with Miley and Miley just isn't ready to give her a second chance yet!
Until Next Time...
