A Bichon Frise has been miraculously saved after suffering the "worst trauma wounds" a vet had ever seen following a dog attack.
Six-year-old Buddy was rushed to MyVet in Maynooth and was a "bloody mess" with "gaping open wounds" when he arrived. Vet Violet Doherty was the first to treat Buddy and admitted she was taken aback by his injuries, describing them as the "worst traumatic wounds" she had seen in her four-year career.
"When he arrived, he was in shock and respiratory distress," she said. "Both sides of his chest had large traumatic bite wounds with lung tissue visibly herniating out each time he panted.
