Fright of my life!!!

After coming home from the gym my dog sneaks out from the gate and runs off. I didn't go after him because if I did he will only run further away. Normally he comes home after 5 minutes. Last night he came home crying, I knew something was wrong. I went out to get him and he was injured. The poor dog was limping and couldn't get up, he was having another seizure. I mean Oscar had a seizure once before and it was quite scary, but last night he was bleeding from his mouth. I panicked and started crying. I went into my room to find the number, so that I could call the vet... Oscar followed me to the room and rested on my lap... I checked his whole body to see how bad the injuries were. He had a tear on the left side of his snout, a bruise on his head and both legs... I couldn't stop crying coz I felt so bad for not going after him. He didn't seem to hurt anywhere else, so I figured he must have had a small accident maybe he got hit by a motorcycle. After one hour he was calm and wanted to walk, he didn't seem to be limping anymore and seems to be ok. I was worried about him the whole night, wondering if there were any internal injuries.. but he seems ok throughout the night.

I woke up early this morning and went across the road out of curiosity, there is a deep drain thats all covered up with vines and tree branches. I saw my dogs paw prints all over that area, a huge hole and lots of rambutan skin. Whats really shocking is that I know now what happen to my dog. He was ATTACKED!!.... by monkeys!

I have a rambutan tree growing outside my house and it's baring a lot of fruits. Lately the monkeys had been visiting quite often, littering and eating all the rambutans. I also have a papaya tree with lots of papaya's on it in my garden. The monkeys been trying to get their hands on the fruits for some time now. My dog usually barks at them. Recently one of the monkeys came down the tree and wanted to attack him... I manage to chase it away... it was huge and a nasty one too. Anyway... yesterday when my dog went out, I think he went across the road and may have chased one of those monkeys or WAS chased by the monkeys... he must have accidentally stepped into the bush and fell into the hole. That seems like a logical explanation. That also explains the mud on his fur. As for the seizures .. he must have been scared and he must have struggled trying to get out of the hole... awww... my poor puppy.

I'm just glad he didnt suffer any serious injuries. I'm so relieved he is ok. I learn my lesson to be more careful and not let him run off like that again. I cant imagine how I would react if anything bad happen to him... I'll still take him to the vet on Monday just to be on the safe side...
