Whats the old boy been doing!!!

Somehow Zak has managed to slice open the front and back of his leg, at first we thought maybe Bella could bitten him but when the vet had a proper look it appears he had his foot trapped in something and has rived it free. Its pretty scarey as I only noticed as he has a tiny bit of blood on the front of his chest so did the routine check over starting with face, mouth, ears (all the normal places we get the odd cut), then I noticed what I thought was a little cut on the front of his leg took him for a closer inspection without the other two and found not only was there this deep wound on the front but he'd slit accross the back and made like a flap which has gathered up and left the blood vessels and inside of his leg on show ewwww. As Zak is such a stress head with the vets I normally sort most cuts at home but I knew this one needed stiching Im just amazed there was so little blood. We managed to get him seen straight away and they took him in, Im always worried when they go in but with Zak being 11 and a half I fret more and the last time he had an op when he was six months he struggled being crated and we think might have been a bit aggressive because of being frightended as they asked if we had a muzzle for him :( So I also make sure the vets know hes a stress head and would rather them muzzle him just encase he feels scared. As it was he was great they set him a bed up in their X-ray room and he was a really good boy, so much so the staff kept sneaking him choccie bickies after his he came round hihi
Sadly means we wont be going to HnH tomorrow really gutted but he has to come first and I know he always gets stressy when I leave and we want these stiches to stay in as long as possiblt please!!! Here he is with his lovely bandage
Update: We where at the vets last night to have the bandage removed they where very pleased with how its healing need to keep it covered for a couple more days and keep him as relaxed as possible (which has never been so easy as he just wants to sleep lol) Here is the damaged he managed to do

And not looking too impressed with his new kitten sock bandage hihi
