Campaign Details
UPDATE: The damaged tissue has been debrided and we are pink underneath which is good. The bad news is that she is missing a 12" wide strip all the way down to the muscles across both shoulders. This is going to require a lot of skin grafting. And a huge bill. We just increased our goal to cover the costs of the grafting and recovery. Please say an additional prayer for Jane.
All things come in threes, and this is number three. We have a horrific situation here and we need your help to try to save a dog. Jane was hit by a car and drug down the highway. She has a laceration that is 6" wide down to the muscle and it wraps around to the other side of her body. The black you see is from the road and the tire. The leg wrapped in pink is being amputated as I type and I cannot post the picture of what it looked like underneath that without making people faint.
Jane is a lab Great Pyrenees puppy and she has been like this for at least a few days. The shelter got her yesterday and released her to us this morning to try to save her. She has been in an intense amount of pain, so the goals are 1) relieve and control her pain, 2) amputate the leg which is utterly destroyed under that wrap, 3) debride the wound and control infection, 4) prevent septic shock and 5) eventually grow new skin. This is the tamest picture I have and direct shots are simply not postable as they are graphic in the extreme. This is a tough case and if we fail at any of these elements, we will have to let her go. When we cease doing good, it's time to stop. Right now, we are hopeful we can provide her with a life if we can get her through the crisis. She is a sweet puppy and deserves a chance.
If you would like to donate to help us save her, we would be so grateful.
Say prayers, folks. This one is in the hands of the surgeons and powers beyond human.
Thank you for your support!
