She is a girl I found a tear in her skin like a rip..She plays a lot with my other dog name precious  and her nail are long so I'm thinking they played to rough....Could look and see her organs..Like her liver...But her hair seems to be growing over it.....Should I take her to the vet to get stitches..And if so Should she have a TB Shot?

I am relieved to hear that this was easily treatable!  Thanks for the update!

Thank you The Vet Said it looks worse than it is...I was so afraid I was going to lose her...They gave her antibiotics and stitches thank you...

There is no way that a dog's nail can tear open your other dog to the point where you would be able to see her internal organs.  She had to have either injured herself on something else or she was attacked by another animal while she was outside and you were not with her.  If she has not had a rabies shot you will need to quarantine her in case it was a wild animal who did this damage to her.

To answer your question about whether or not she needs stitches, YES, she needs to go to the vet NOW!  It these are truly her internal organs you are seeing she is in grave danger and needs to be treated IMMEDIATELY.  To ignore something like this is animal cruelty.  Don't even wait for tomorrow, she needs to go to an emergency vet TODAY.

Please post back and let us know what the vet said.
