Even Scooter's mean looking snaggle-tooth snarl couldn't fool the Coyotes that attacked him that night.
Scooter sustained an intestinal hernia and Dr. Wendy Reinhold of the Animal Emergency Center in Collinsville, Illinois, had to open him up, reposition the intestine and sew up the abdominal wall.
Next she had to suture his abdominal muscles which had been torn in the attack.
Finally, she had to stitch up the outer layer of skin.
The rubber tubes visible in the photo on the left, are drain tubes to carry the excess fluids outside his body. They were removed at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, Illinois.
Scooter was very fortunate in that none of his internal organs were damaged, his intestine did not sustain blood flow restriction, and he didn’t have any broken bones.
We counted over two dozen puncture wounds from the Coyote’s teeth as they ripped into Scooter’s skin on his rump, chest, hind quarters and back of the neck. We can only imagine the terror that he must have experienced that dark, fateful night in the jaws of two or more Coyotes.
