I just pulled a foxtail out of my cat's eye (Pet Injury Stories)

Yes you read that right.
I noticed a few days ago that my cat had some minor gunk building up around one of his eyes. It didn't look that serious and he ran off before I could get a good look at it (he's an outdoor cat - I live on & around 6 acres of a park or so). I marked it off to a cold or some other minor infection and told myself I'd keep an eye on it.
Tonight was the first time I had seen him since, and said gunk had developed into a nice abscess-y looking protrusion that had me worried. Seeing as I rarely see him and knowing him, he'd be more likely to run off and die if it got serious, I decided to take matters into my own hands. A firm grip and a very careful pair of tweezers pulled from the corner of his eyesocket an ascessed foxtail about an inch long (including the tail).
Once I got it out he bolted, but he's a hardy fucker and his eye seemed to be in good shape as I took it out so I don't think he's in any lasting damage or danger. I'm glad I got it out when I did, but fuck, that was tense. Pictures maybe in a day or two.
So SE++, what crazy misadventures have you had with your pets?

Those things are basically designed to not come out so she required a vet visit.
Thinking back she did look pretty rediculous.

Damn, that is really hard. Are you just trying to keep him off his feet or is he dealing with it?

To clarify, I mainly meant that I hate hearing about pet injuries because animals are awesome and I used to have this almost-white golden retriever and one day we came home and found him dead with a bullet hole in his head.
Also my cat got hit by a car and its eye popped out and it dragged itself to our doorstep before dying.
But my mom's piece of shit asshole gray parrot won't fucking die because there's no justice in this world.
Also, my dog got cancer in the face and we had her put down too.
Who would make a thread about your injured animals? this seems like a horrible idea for a thread.
FOOT SWEATERS
hey sometimes i like reading depressing stories
and injuries don't have to be all bad. pets can recover! This same cat also had this weird shit on his tail where part of the skin like got cut and partially severed and didn't grow back right so they had to do a little operation cause he had this weird fucking lump of skin on his tail.
but he was cool with it and he's totally fine now.

my boston terrier has no eyes.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
I walk into my house, mention the skunk, which apparently my sister and her boyfriend Dubbed Leroy. Leroy, being awesome, did such adorably cute skunk things such as eat fruit it was given, and roll around on it's back in my front yard.
I wake up the next day, prepare to depart for work, and in the center of my street is the tail of a baby skunk.
I had never been so sad.

No one expected it.
We were kind of just standing around, watching traffic and then we noticed this cow walking by itself out in a field, 300 meters out.
"Heh, why is it by itself.."
*BOOM*
"Fuck me."
A few years back, when I was still in high school, I was home one summer afternoon when I heard this odd thumping noise coming from the garage. Turns out our then one year old border collie had been trying to lick the salt out of the bottom of one of those bins that had fallen out of the recycling bin.
While initially terrified, I quickly realized that the dog could in fact breathe, at which point I found the whole situation quite hysterical. Damn dog was just giving me a "yes I fucked up, now please get this thing off my head" look. Not barking, not freaking out, just sitting there looking pathetic.
Took more than a few minutes to cut the thing off, and I'm kind of disappointed that I failed to get any video footage of the whole thing. I could have been youtube famous.
Why am I the only one who chuckled at this?
Fast forward three years, we just adopted a new rottie named Jasmine. we take her outside to meet the rest of our dogs and they get along famously, we go to call them in and zinger (the shepherd) accidentally steps on her leg, bends it the wrong way and break her back left leg.

"This week, the first cat hip replacement was done, costing $2000. That's only $2000 more than a total cat replacement."
I laughed way too hard at this.
I feel bad now.
I am sorry tardcat.
Why? He's not.
Because he's retarded.
And also a cat

Sayin' shit like that'll jinx it.
she was raised in a house with another dog who was blind, so she learned from him how to get around without looking
so she never used her eyes growing up, and now she has huge cataracts and cant see shit for real

The best story is when my family was going out to eat and my dad stops the car quickly in the driveway. We all ask him why he stopped so he backs up to show us. My dog walked in front of the car, stopped, and decided to take a shit right there in the driveway.
that's craaaaaaaaaazy
my husky has had a few seizures and got a urinary tract infection so her pure bred racing line bullshit that made her cost $1400 (NZ) is useless since she had to get spayed.
