My neighbor stopped this afternoon to talk to me. She said she had not been able to talk about it until today. Thursday night in her driveway Sundrop, her 6 year old beagle, ran in front of her car chasing a night bird and my neighbor hit her before she could get the slow moving vehicle stopped.
My neighbor's husband and son took Sundrop to the animal E. R. which is 50+ miles away. Sundrop is still in intensive care. She has broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder and a punctured and bruised lung. The E.R. vet tried to relocate the shoulder without success due to pain. Monday the surgeon is going to look at it and may be able to relocate it with Sundrop under anesthesia, if not, there will be surgery.
My neighbor is all to pieces over this and feels tremendous guilt.
Please send positive thoughts and prayers for Sundrop's recovery.
UPDATE: Sun drop had surgery on her shoulder to relocate it today (2/26/13). She went through surgery fine. Unless something unforseen happens before tomorrow she will be coming home. My neighbor read each and every one of the replies to this discussion and was overwhelmed by the support from the DK community.
UPDATE ON SUNDROP #2
I got this email from Sundrop's mom today (3/3/13).
"Out of the woods
Sleeping most of the day due to painkillers and sedatives but enjoying the brief outdoor time. Wanda said the cone could come off so its much better. Long way to go but if the shoulder stays in place she is good to go. Thank you for all of your thoughts."
And, this picture.
And an email from Sundrop
” A big thank you and hello to all of my doodlekisses friends. Thanks to your good thoughts and some amazing people I am going to be fine. Hoping to run again with my best friend Allie soon. Happy tails- Sundrop"
And, another picture.
