Yes this is fishing related (sort of). #::)
I was sorting my lures on the lounge floor last night after the weekend and the stupid dog picked up a 40 g slug by the treble. #[smiley=dunce.gif]
Anyway the dog bit , the lure bit back and after a few good head shakes any self respecting snapper would be proud of , he was firmly hooked. [smiley=anxious.gif]
After a few anxious moments , a lot of comotion and lots of blood (dogs and mine) it was nearly sorted. I managed to get one hook out backwards, cut another off and pushed it through his bottom lip and cut the third , but it was in at an angle and dissappeared into his bottom lip with just the very tip of the point sticking out the other side. [smiley=uhoh.gif] #
If he would hold still long enough I could probably manipulate it out a bit and grab it with the pliers and pull it through, but it is a bit tender and he is a little gun shy after last night, so it is probably time to call in the experts. #:-/
I know how much you guys appreciate photos but I didn't have time to take any with a 50kg dog going berko. #:o
I don't want to spend a fortune, but he might need knocking out, if only for 30 seconds. So can anyone recommend a vet Brissy area. ???
