Earlier this year, a sweet farm dog named Pepper arrived at Wellspring Animal Hospital with a serious injury. Her family wasn’t sure exactly what had happened, but they suspected she may have gotten caught on plowing equipment or barbed wire. When she came home with a deep gash on her neck, they knew she needed immediate care.
From the start, our team could see she was something special. Despite the pain she was in, she remained gentle and trusting, her eyes bright and her tail still trying to wag.
The injury was extensive—cutting deep through layers of skin and muscle. Thankfully, it had narrowly missed a major artery, but healing wouldn’t be simple. Due to the location of the wound and her natural movements, the laceration kept reopening, even with careful bandaging and rest. Over the next few weeks, our team performed multiple closures and monitored her closely.
She stayed at the hospital for quite some time, quickly winning the hearts of the team. Her quiet resilience and sweet personality made a lasting impression.
Eventually, she was strong enough to return home to her family. Follow-up visits showed just how far she had come, and each time she walked through the doors at Wellspring, she was a little stronger, a little more healed, and just as sweet as ever.
Thanks to the compassionate care from our team and her own incredible strength, this brave pup made a full recovery. She’s back home now, happy, healthy, and surrounded by love.
