Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Late last night DRSF was notified about a doxie who had been hit by a car and was lying by the side of the road in Dade county after being hit by a car. Someone was going to pick her up but had nowhere to take her. Could we help?
The Pambulance gassed up and headed south to meet the transport and then back north again to get the girl we have named Gloria to LeadER where she was triaged by Dr. Phillips, emergency and critical care specialist. Gloria presented with a hugely swollen eye and bump on her head indicating head trauma and was extremely painful after laying there who knows how long.
Dr. Phillips was able to stabilize Gloria and get her thought the night and this AM Gloria was examined by Diplomate Veterinary Surgeon Dr. Unis who shared with our medical team the extensive list of Gloria's injuries:
- Her right eye socket is broken
- Her jaw is broken
- She has a spinal fracture that has separated her spine from her pelvis which if not surgically corrected, if anything moves even a little bit she will be paralyzed and lose anal tone.
- Gloria has pelvic fractures on both sides that will need to be surgically repaired with bone cement and screws
We would prefer to wait until Gloria is more stable but the spinal fracture is critical so Dr. Unis is prepping Gloria to go to surgery today. He is consulting with Dr. Boruta, Diplomate in Anesthesiology, to get the proper protocol for Gloria given her overall condition. This will be a 3+ hour surgery for Dr. Unis that will involve re-positioning Gloria 3 times to complete everything that she needs.
This will be our 3rd HBC (Hit By Car) dog in a month and we have not covered even half the cost of Noodle and Rayden. We could not turn Gloria away, but we very much need your help to support her care as our war-chest can only take so much before we have to start making difficult decisions of who we can help.
Every single dollar counts the same in getting us closer to the Funding Finish Line and it is your generosity that makes it possible for us to continue taking these kind of cases and providing this kind of care. Gloria was left on the side of the road and has nobody but us. Can she count on you for help?
