While dogs can be very resilient, a little extra
effort on your part will go a long way.
Specifically, don't let this incident traumatize
her for life when it comes to other dogs. As soon
as she is well, put her in situations with other
(larger) dogs, in a controlled environment of
course. And take it slow if she gets
uncomfortable. You don't want her living in fear
of other canines (or worse, becoming so scared
that she becomes aggressive in unfamiliar
situations).
At least the neighbors are doing their best to be
nice (and avoid a nice, fat lawsuit!). ;-)
Good luck!
Oh, and here's a couple of Ryo-Ohki's to join
yours. These always make me smile. May Rosie be
this happy and goofy real soon.
