What to do....

Several days ago I when I got home, I let the dogs out and I noticed one of my dachshunds was staggering, he was seizing, and his gum color led me to believe he was loosing blood somewhere.  This is a dog that is in remission from an auto immune disorder that he fought and won in 2010.  When he fought that battle we knew there was a strong possibility the disease would reoccur, and it was agreed that we would only treat it one time.  There came a time during that treatment in between blood transfusions and chemotherapy, that both The Reluctant Farmer and I agreed that to put a dog through life saving treatment the second time would be more inhumane that euthanizing him.

I loaded Gus into the car, called The Reluctant Farmer at work explained he did not look well, and we braced for what we thought was goodbye.  When I got to the vet we were rushed back to a treatment area, and it was discovered that Gus had been the victim of a dog fight, and not a small dog fight.  Due to the fact Gus' bruising was so severe and only on the bottom of him, it was easy to see he was in a submissive state while he was being attacked.  This just makes me sick.  It also makes me mad.

Tonight I had to take Gus back to the vet because he now as cellulitis in his groin.  He has a fever, and is leaking bloody serum from the would.  I found myself again mad all over again at the dog that created this problem.  Mad because he injured another one of my dogs and mad because his behavior is making it impossible to have a harmonious household.

I don't think I have ever had a dog fight in all my dog rescuing/owning years.  It has never mattered what I have brought in, or what has stayed.  I don't baby my dogs or treat them like humans, and I consider myself to be pretty confident in my dog owning abilities.  How this happened is beyond me, and what to do about it now leaves me in a mess of tears, but I know the beings in my house can't live like this.  It isn't fair to anyone, and rotating dogs in and out of crates makes this house feel less like a home and more like a prison.

What to do?!
