back from the vet

Carter is back from the vet, wearing his full-on Elizabethan collar (photos to follow, maybe, though it's so pathetic, it seems exploitative to photograph him). He's drugged up a bit with antiobiotics and painkillers. He had some x-rays, but it seems like there's no serious damage. We'll be watching him closely for the next few days to make sure he's OK.

To follow up on the comment rant, we are also VERY frustrated by the non-leash dog walkers, who claim their dogs are well behaved, when really, they aren't. The dog that attacked Carter today has run at him before, and the owner has done nothing to restrain him. It's very scary, and could have been much worse, too.

Now we have to go find and talk to the owner about whether the dog has had shots (we're guessing he hasn't). It's a very frustrating situation.
