X-ray of the Month: Australian Boxer Survives Nail Gun Shot to Brain
An Australian Boxer named Max has good reason to thank his lucky stars this week after surviving an injury that would normally be considered fatal. Tim Horvat was putting the finishing touches on a deck project when Max ran a little too close to the end of his nail gun, intercepting a nail intended for a very different target. Horvat initially thought the gun had missed Max, but ended up rushing the dog to the Melbourne Veterinary Specialist Centre after noticing a nail head protruding from his skull.

ReplyDeleteOuch! Glad Max is OK. We boxers are tough. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one lucky doggie, for sure! I prolly would've gone right on to the Bridge cuz my mom would've passed out right then and there. I bet that Max doesn't get to play outside anymore when they're doing home improvements projects.
