Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
The call went out from the shelter late yesterday afternoon seeking urgent medical rescue for a dog with multiple puncture wounds, an open abdominal hernia and possible collapsed abdominal wall. The shelter gave until 4:30 until they were going to euthanize him. Our medical transport left as soon as she got the call and made it to the shelter from Ft. Lauderdale (cutting a grocery shopping trip short) at 4:25.
We named him Zeus, and his transport arrived at LeadER and he was brought right to the back for triage and the more Zeus was examined, the worse it got. He was in shock, his blood pressure was low, his glucose was low, and there were so many wounds. Antibiotics were started, fluids were administered, and he was given some glucose to get his sugar up.
President Pam got calls on Zeus through the evening trying to decide the best course of action....one of the bite wounds was coming through the muscle and would need to be surgically corrected or it would strangulate, but he wasn't the greatest candidate for surgery as Zeus blood pressure was still up and down. X-rays also revealed Zeus had bones in his stomach so it is likely he had spent a while alone and hungry on the streets.
As of 11 PM last night, Zeus' medical team of Dr. Ledesma and Dr. Mejia was monitoring him and would take him to surgery if they thought they could do so safely. Our news desk should have another update on him later today, but wanted to get his story out so we could get to work on covering his care.
It is your donations of even $1 that make it possible for us to be there on a moments notice, when the clock is ticking on saving a life. Can Zeus count on you for even $1 to help him so we can be ready for the next little one we know is out there and will need us soon?
