{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Duck Dynasty" star Kay Robertson was hospitalized on Tuesday night after she was apparently bitten by the family's dog, Bobo, in an attack that left a piece of her lip missing.
Known by fans as Miss Kay, the 73-year-old matriarch is said to now be resting comfortably at home following the incident which was detailed by Phil and Jase Robertson on their "Unashamed" podcast.
Phil, 75, told listeners that his wife came to him in the middle of the night holding a rag to her mouth and told him that she needed to run to the hospital.

"Her bottom lip, over on the right side, there was just a chuck gone," Phil added. "Bleeding profusely is an understatement."

"I said the old saying, 'Miss Kay, let a sleeping dog lie. You need to remember that,'" he said in the podcast. Phil then explained what the family plans to do about their dog as Bobo is now older than he was during the height of "Duck Dynasty" and has developed cataracts in his eyes due to past snake bites.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"First thing she told Dad when she came in – she said, 'I just want you to know that Bobo met me at the truck and he apologized,'" Kay and Phil's son, Alan Robertson, said, indicating that Bobo will likely be sticking around for a while.
