Me and my dog were just in a big car accident - DogForum.net

ChipsDad · 04-05-2006, 08:35 PM

I was traveling to work in the rain and my car (a mid-engined sports car) hit oil and spun into a wall causing the airbags to deploy (and also writing the car off).

My 5 month old puppy was on the passanger seat and not restrained.

I am guessing that he was flung onto the airbag, as he seems 100% fine.

Is there any way I can tell if he has internal injuries? I am very worried that he got hurt more than he is letting up.

I have 'felt' him everywhere, and he doesnt seem in any pain, does not have a limp or anything at all...

I can get a new car, but I am just so glad that Chip survived. He is such a trooper!

I would take him to the vet just to get him checked out and make sure!

That is terrible what happened. That is one reason my dog usually rides in a crate.

I am glad that you are alright and that it sounds like Chip is fine too

Oh no

Poor both of you.

I'm sorry to hear about your accident, but very pleased to hear that Chip seems OK. I agree with the others, a trip to the vet won't hurt and is worth having him checked out.

Wow , that sounds horrible!! Glad you are ok and the dogs are too. Yes, a trip to the vet is on order for the dogs.

Please let us know how things turn out.

Wow, that must have been scary! As zoe08 said, I would definatly take Chip to the vet to be checked out. I'm glad you and Chip are okay!!!

Oooooo... this is one of the reasons that I seatbelt Eevee when she is sitting on any of the seats. A doggy seatbelt harness is a nice investment just in case something like this happens. Once I get more money, I'll probably invest in a less cheap one...

Glad your dog was lucky enough to make it! Somebody up there loves him! >^_^<

Yeah, I seatbelt Max too
