This will probably get moved to the pets board but oh well...
I need prayers...my 10 pound maltipoo was mauled by a german shepard mix last night. the dog's tooth perforated her stomach and they had to do emergency surgery to repair it. She has five horrible puncture wounds from the teeth and has three drains in the worst ones. They cut open her back and her belly to repair the damage. I saw her today and she looks so, so sad, she was crying but ate a little bit of turkey that I brought and gave me some kisses. We are not out of the woods until another two days...because of where the puncture is she's at risk of sepsis which will kill her. The worst part is that DH couldn't stay and had to fly back home this morning. I need to be here another four days at least and hoping I don't get fired for this. There is a picture of my perfect Roxy in my profile. She is the sweetest dog in the world and this was an unprovoked attack. The worst part is that we were all here visiting for my mom's 60th birthday and we all watched the attack happen. It was so horrible - this dog had Roxy in her mouth and was throwing her around like a ragdoll. Thanks for prayers we need them.
Update - Tuesday Roxy is doing well, still not eating though so they put her on IV food. The drains are good and everything is healing normally. Two more days and we'll know if she's going to make it but so far so good. I'm going to visit her this afternoon and try to get her to eat something. Hoping to bring her home to NY over the weekend. Thanks to everyone for the responses and FMs. It means so much to us.
So happy to hear a good update! I was thinking about this all day. She seems to have made it past a big milestone, and you know we underestimate how resiliant these little dogs are. She is probably in pain and doesn't want to eat because of that, make sure they are addressing that and see if she will eat then. They really do much better than we expect them to I think. Keep us updated!
