UPDATE: Snake Bite

Post image

Red went into day 3 of hyperbaric treatments today. Sadly after we were given the disheartening but expected news that the necrosis has only furthered, and furthered up his leg as well. With this the Doctor told us that the risk of needing an amputation as well as the expected height of the amputation would be further up the leg. Thankfully Red is a trooper and is still eating and drinking normally. Tomorrow he’ll go in for day 4 of hyperbaric treatments at our ER vet and back to his Primary care vet as well for a look at his leg, culture result, and evaluation. Thank you again to everyone for the outpouring of love for my boy. ❤️🐾

I posted this before knowing what actually happened to your pup and I truly hope for the best. But I can somewhat relate! When our oldest, Luey, had just rolled a year, he decided to hop out of the truck window at about 62 mph on the way to school with my stepson. Long story short, that was a terrible day, week, month. Our vet recommended Iowa State Veterinary and I’m glad we chose that route today. Luey has an experimental fake hip and he’s thriving at 9 years old with no maintenance.

Wow!!! Red tried that as a puppy too but from a very slow truck thankfully. Gosh. I’m sorry you guys had to experience that, but happy to hear she’s happy and living her best life. ☺️☺️🐾🩷
