Boxer Insane
Ok people, this morning on my way to work I saw a dog hit by a car. This little brown pup got hit in the rear and rolled. I held my breath, then yelled so scared it would get hit again. Thankfully it made it to the side of the road where it collapsed. I turned around at the next intersection and backtracked and saw it laying in the grass. By the time I got there, there was a lady looking at it and I got out of my car to see if it would live and there was this little boxer girl looking at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen. She was not panting or yelping, but had curled into a tight ball and seemed to say I know I am not going to make it! I asked everyone around if they had seen this dog before (by now there was a small crowd) and everyone said no. So I scooped up this girl and announced I was taking her up the road to a vet. By know she was bleeding out of her vulva and her abrasions in between her legs looked sored and angry.
She has no microchip, no collar, no heart worms, but does have tapeworms. X-rays confirmed a broken hip (where the socket joins in the hip) in several pieces. She appears to be 4-5 months old and weighs 26 lbs. So $692.00 later this afternoon I find myself with "Bea". My head is spinning! My hubby rescued a boxer girl about 3 months ago (Chula is now adopted by my mom & dad). I called my dad crying and he said I was crazy...what did I think I was going to do, save every dog in the world? I told him I could not leave her to die on the side of the road from shock. Bea is in my home and I am going to put an ad for a missing dog in the paper. She is thin, very hungry, and was covered in fleas (meds at the vet got rid of that very quickly). Surgery to repair her hip will be another $700.00-$1000.00. Oh and did I mention she has a cherry eye! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
But she kissed me this evening and wiggled her nubby when I fed her some hamburger meat & rice. I have no idea what in the heck I am going to do and though I know I am the biggest sucker for boxers I can't help but be happy that I saved her life today. I posted pics in my gallery just a couple of minutes ago. Advice please!
