This update is over due but there’s not really too much to report. 🤷🏽♀️
After being run over by a car, little Mako spent time at animal control, where no one came to claim her before joining our foster club last week. She has now undergone the operation to remove her broken leg and she’s been in healing mode for the past few days. One thing we learned while she was in surgery was that, what was originally thought to be an abdominal tear based on X-rays was actually a large hematoma on her spleen, so the spleen was removed. She also received her spay surgery while she was under.
Mako does not know it yet, but she’s settled in for extended crate rest while she heals from not only the amputation, but to give her shattered pelvis ample time to ‘hopefully’ fuse back together. It could be October before she gets any real moving around time. 😬 It’s going to be a struggle but we will do all we can to keep her comfortable and entertained.
Meanwhile, Mako would like for us to tell everyone that she doesn’t like to be looked at while she’s eating and she absolutely H A T E S the cone and tries to use it to shovel her 💩 away when she goes in her crate. This, as you can imagine, is tons of fun for her keeper, esp when it gets into the seams of the cone.
Anyyyywayyy, we’re extremely grateful to everyone who contributed to Mako’s surgery. We’re glad to be able to help this sweet girl and can’t wait to get her back on her feet, running, jumping and playing as a young pup should be!
