Lora Smith hasn't added a story.
Last Sunday my dog Maggie was hit by a car. She was rushed to the hospital. She had a laceration on her stomach, she was given 11 stitches and a drain to keep out debris. She has 3 fractures on her pelvis and severe road rash. Within a week the skin where she had the burn completely died and fell off including her stitches. She currently has an open wound that has to be cleaned and trimmed almost everyday. After her wound is taken care of she will need a surgery on her pelvic fractures as well. For the last 7 days she has been put under heavy sedation, her wound is cleaned and any skin that has recently died is trimmed away. A new bandage is put on with a type of honey that stimulates skin growth and she receives a laser treatment as well. It is still a long road ahead for Maggie and so far I have spent over $3000 to get her the treatment she needs. I was also forced to take time off from work in order to take care of her and the situation is getting out of control. Maggie needs to receive her treatments regularly, that is the only way she will ever be healthy again and I need to find a way to make that happen. I never thought I would be asking for help like this, but at this point I have no choice but to rely on kindness of strangers. Her wound needs to be taken care of first and the estimate weekly cost of her treatment is $800. Her surgery estimate is $2000. I am not sure how long she will need the treatment for. If you have love for animals in your heart I hope you understand my love for Maggie and how much she means to me. I am so thankful to anyone who gives her a time of their day and considers helping. In difficult moments like these, knowing that there is still kindness and love is so comforting and gives me hope that Maggie will be ok.
