Max The Boxer Dog’s Nail Gun Head Presents X-Ray Horrors
MAX the boxer dog bring us X-Ray of the Day. Max has been hit in the head with a nail fired from a nail gun by his owner, Tim Horvat.
Mr Horvat is firing nails into his garden decking. And into Max, who has lunged for the gun. Says Mr Horvat:
“At first I thought I had missed him because he ran behind me. But then I saw the tip just protruding from his head and I started shaking as I realised what had happened.”
To the Melbourne Veterinary Specialist Centre. Says Dr Kudnig:
“I was amazed he was still conscious and alert and I kept thinking it must not have gone into his brain cavity. You can’t just grab the nail and pull it out. Craniectomies to remove part of the skull are not uncommon to remove brain tumors, but it was a first to remove a nail.”
Max is ok now.
Says Mr Horvat: “I love him to death.”
