Unfortunately, Miss Amy was rushed to EVC yesterday as her incision de-hised.
It is quite unusual at 9 days post-op, yet here we are.
We are running a culture on the site to determine what more potent antibiotics may be needed. What bacteria are we looking at? From her foster home, she went down on her first BM post-op, yet as of Tuesday, the incision appeared to be looking good.
She is back on methadone injections for pain, dispensed further antibiotics – the same type that she had been given post-op, is back on Metacam, and remains on her gabapentin. We also have her trazodone given on an as-needed basis.
She is not eating well, and her weight is down, yet that can also be explained by the fact she lost a leg.
Her eye surgical site looks excellent – yay for some great news.
Once she is stable – the necrosis happening is very real, she will head back into surgery. She will remain at EVC for a few days.
Please do reach out if anyone has anything to donate to an online auction fundraiser. It shall require many more thousands of dollars to get her through this next surgery and rehabilitation.
I met the foster at my work, and now she is all tucked into her run, and her medical treatment board is all set up.
I love this puppy so much…., and my heart is very heavy…. Over the past 29 years, we have done 39 amputations, and I fostered everyone directly myself, so I have felt a bit helpless in my efforts from afar to properly support Miss Amy’s foster home. Thank you to them for bringing her back to my work.
I also cannot wait for her to have a bath…she is so stinky! If anyone has something to donate to an emergency online auction, please email contactbhrr@gmail.com. If anyone may consider a financial donation, donations can be made via PayPal or email transfer to contactbhrr@gmail.com or via this, her gofundme account!
Please keep her in your thoughts, and thank you in advance for any consideration of her deserving cause.
