It was hard to tell at first what all was injuries because he seemed to have been bit on the mouth, there was a lot of blood (I did not see him get it, only the squirrel as he was dying).
I saw some blood on his front leg but thought it had dripped from the mouth wound. A bit later I wanted to see how things were and he had a gash on his front leg that was about an inch and a half deep and gaped open more than a quarter of an inch.
He apparently chased the squirrel into a flower bed that had a barrier fence with some really sharp wire ends.
When I went to pick the squirrel up the skin and fur had been pulled off of three inches of the end of the tail. It looked like the dog may have pulled him by the tail which could explain getting bit under the chin and mouth.
The vet asked so what do we have here? I said the dog had gotten into a scrap with a squirrel, he said looks like he lost. I told him nope, the squirrels is dead, I don't think he considers it a win.
