Because some dog breeds look so much alike I feel safe in sharing a photo. At the moment tho I will refer to the dog as āITā as a name can give away a s*x of it. The dog pictured is āITā at least for now. I got a call to go see about āITā as it was laying off the highway in deep grass, not really able to move much, appeared on the outside to have possible been hit, broken leg or hip. We were able to get about 5ā from its original spot when it laid down again and refused to get up.
Luckily the person that contacted me was just down the road and was able to come help. Iāve NEVER and I mean NEVER heard a dog scream in pain the way it did getting it to the car. Such sorrow in those big brown eyes just takes at your heart.
My vet was out wouldnāt be back for at least 3 hours and I wasnāt willing to attempt to move him so we went to Burger King where he got 5 plain cheese burgers and a large water , no ice and waited for time to go by.
When it was time we drove to the vet as he laid in my backseat, I was
EXTREMLY shocked when āitā was at the door waiting to get out, it had to p*e and p*e NOW !
This big gentle soul managed to jump out of the car,do its thing then very slowly make it into the vet.
After first examination and not feeling anything broken, ex rays were nextš¢ ! My vet was shocked as on the screen in black and white where thousands upon thousands of of what dots that peppered the left sideā¦.BUCKSHOT !! 2 more ex rays checking the entire body and again more spots. āITā had marks from the tip of its tongue to the tip of its tail ( Iām kicking myself for not taking photos of the ex rays for proof )
All the marks have healed over leaving its body a bumpy path, the issues of want wanting to walk is because ITs paw is 2x the size it should be, the paw looked like a pin cushion literally.
Next we get to deal with possible lead poisoning in āITā, thereās no way what so ever to remove all the metal balls inside him š¢.
Huge thank you to Stockade Vet Clinic in Farnam for always being there when we need them, no matter what time it is .
