(If you have your sound on when you watch the video that follows the photos, it’s upsetting.)
Our wonderful “Tripod” Snowy has had such a traumatic week. Snowy, you may remember was brought to the gate in a box by the hunter. Her fourth leg was hanging off. It was inevitable that amputation was the only option and this traumatised little girl underwent the operation. It took a good while to gain her confidence and before long she was rushing round the garden on her three legs. Unfortunately she became a bit too confident and jumped on a table, trapped a front leg in between the slats and fractured it. Almost back to square one, the leg was pinned and plated and once again we had to get her up and running. It was touch and go as she was her own worst enemy, thrashing around, re-injuring herself but eventually she calmed down and healed……until this week.
Once again that same leg was injured, exactly where the plate was. We whipped her through to our Vets which is a scarey experience for Snowy as we’re sure her memories of her arrival at the kennels are still fresh in her memory. She hates being in a van. 😢 She broke out of the crate on Tuesday and tried to climb in the cab with Colleen so it’s a worry whenever she has to travel. Today was another such day. The Vet phoned to say that the Specialist had phoned to say that the plate had to be removed, so today’s trip back to the vets saw her chew through two leads and her harness, but, the good news is that the plate had been removed….it had become infected.
So Snowy lives to fight another day, thank heavens, as we love her so much, but of course, it all comes at a price and sadly, as ever our outgoings are more than our income. If there’s any chance you could spare a little donation, not only to help our girl, but also all our other dogs including the six newcomers that we couldn’t refuse.
