my saint thinks shes a horse and was galloping around the kitchen and hit her head on the counter. Some skin ripped off about an inch up from her eye... she is not bleeding or swollen and is acting normal. She let me put a little poly-bactrim (neasporin type cream) and she is letting me rub the area around it, but wont let me ice the area. My fiancee left for the gym and my car is in the shop, what should i do? till he gets home?

She's a BIG BABY....just like my Golden Retriever who thinks she's a 100 lb lap dog....She should be OK...just a little "boo-boo"; try putting ice in a plastic bag and wrapping in a smooth cloth; get on the floor with her and let her put her head on your lap...Poor thing...wants mommy!!!!

Just leave her be for a while. If she is acting normal and letting you touch it then its probably not all that serious.
Just watch her carefully. If she has trouble walking (like from dizziness) or if she falls asleep and cant be easily woken (like with a loud noise) then you should worry about a vet. Until then she just bumped it and scraped some skin and she should be fine already.
Good luck! St. Bernards are sooo awesome!

I'm sure she is fine. If she had a serious problem her eyes would be dilated and she would stagger. Just a little bump..should be fine. I don't think you need to worried about the ice unless it swells a whole lot. good luck
