Lucy is a Belgian Malenois Shepherd mix. She is almost 3 years old and t 1/2 weeks ago she was hit by a truck and the tire mangled her right rear leg. We rushed her to a vet where someone met us and got her stable until the vet could look at her the next day. We knew that she would lose her leg because there was no way to save it according to what we saw. The next day they amputated ehr leg and we brought her home. After about 5 days she got an infection which was almost septic, she went back to vet and they administered IV antibiotics. That was Friday, on Sunday the Dr. went in for some odd reason and thankfully he did because when he got there they saw that her main artery had opened due to the stitch being dissolved by infection. He immediately performed emergency surgery and tied it back off, and thus saved her life yet again. The next day her infection was much better. She had a transfusion 2 days before and had to have another one. After a week at vet and on antibiotics through IV she came home and is now doing wonderfully. She is practically running everywhere. She is a miracle for sure. I am thinking of using her as a service dog now to visit wounded warriors!!!I Love Lucy!
