Last night, my 9 month old german sheperd,(sheena) which I have had seince she was 12 weeks old....got hit by a car....they didn't even stop to tell us, or see if she was okay!!!!!! We rushed her to the vet...and he looked her over, and said he didn't beleive she had broken any bones...(thank god) but she had a huge bloody gash right above her eye, and two more wounds on her neck....he had to stitch the one above her eye, as it was pretty deep, but the others weren't so bad...her right leg was compleltely swollen and she was limping....she had mud from the tires ground into her fur...I was so worried.
We had to leave her there overnight...I worried all day today, that she might think I had taken her there and just abandoned her. They had put her in a small cage, which she is not used to at all.
So today I went to get her...and the Dr. said she would heal up just fine, and she was so excited to see me that she peed all over the floor! (poor baby)
PS...she is getting to be such a big girl now! She weighed in at 65 lbs, and isn't even done growing yet!!
I was so thrilled that she was going to be okay. He gave me antibiodics to give her twice a day for 7 days, so as not to get infection in her wounds, then I will take her back in a week to 10 days to have the stitches removed.
She is very lucky!!!! I just wanted to tell you all.
