This evening in my road back to ASG Shelter, in Moinesti, exactly where the crosswalk is,
I've seen lying in the middle of the street a "small fur" in a bath blood...hit by the car,
I've stopped initially to remove it out of the road... I've thought it is "without breath"..
I was shocked to see his head moving through me ...
She is a small puppy of German Shepherd of not even 3 months old.
Immediately I've called to a clinic to check if they can receive us...and in not even 20 minutes we was there.
She had a big luck...all that blood was from her broken leg (seems to be broken in 2 sides)..
but that will not stop us to fight and bring her back to a normal pup.
Tomorrow we will go in another town for thorough investigations, X-rays and for an eventually surgery.
Day 1: Milla has made today the x-rays and after has received her first local treatment with antibiotics,
and special bandages to eliminate the infection and to be ready for the surgery.
Her diagnostic it is: -Distal epiphyseal fracture humerus -humer-radio-ulnar luxation -over infected traumatic wound -damage to the radial nerve/ulnar nerve (compressive, elongation, sectioning)
She has left in the clinic for the special care and for antibiotic treatments by infusion, hoping this Friday (3 d ays later) will be ready for the surgery.
A single day of hospitalization with treatments and special care(included special food) will cost around 30-35 euros.
Day 4: We have very bad news; 2 days ago Milla has started to vomit all what she had eaten,
yesterday it was made the parvo test, which obviously was positive,
that happens when a unvaccinated pup receive a politrauma and all the immunity goes down ...
Today I couldn't resist anymore and I've made over 100 kilometers just to visit her.
The vet will make all the possible to save her, for that will need also thorough blood investigations to can be sure what else she needs ...maybe even a transfusion.
We need to pray for her life.
Day 7: So far we can not say that it is out of danger, but it is stable, meaning it has no such high losses,
still consumes nothing, neither water nor food, but it was critical, at least Saturday was decompensated, it was anemia, platelets small, without leukocytes,
and with loss of protein, which is why he underwent a blood transfusion. Tomorrow her analysis will be restored.
She does infusion treatment and intravenous nutrition, otherwise she would not have been able to get until today, it remains to see if any further complications occur...hope not!
Day 14: After 14 days of up and downs .. almost life was lost but still didn't give up
after plasma and blood transfusion she is a little more stable and looks so beautiful and happy!
bad news vet told this morning that her paw has to be amputated!
If she is still stable tomorrow will the surgery! I promised to help her from the start and i will and promise to find her beautiful home!
Day 18: Milla is on surgery to amputate her legs.
Success surgery, Milla she's back with us!
After she has suffer the amputation of the broken leg few days ago, today has received her 1st vaccination and she is a very active puppy!
When all her prepares will be ready, she will travel directly in Belgium to her adoptive mum, to Dorine De Winne!
Day 32: Received her last vaccination yesterday and is stable,
will of course be a whole revalidation to be able to deal with her new body!
Milla will be travelling to her new home in Belgium 2 weeks later!
At day 58: Milla travelled to Belgium for her new family with mom Dorine De Winne!
NOW after 2 weeks in Belgium and she's doing well!
Of course still have to learn a lot and it won't be easy when she will grow,
because Milla will become a big German shepherd, with her weight on 1 leg.
When Milla grows up, I hope to be able to start a campaign to have an artificial paw made for her, which will be perfect in her case.
She still has a stump on which it can be made very well!
Look at how she blooms completely open and moments can run very well!
8 months later: Milla today transform to big and beutiful girl with 3 legs.
Milla a strong girl, a journey from we almost lost her to healthy and happy girl now.
We want to say thank you very much for all your help!
We're so proud for what we did to Milla. Thanks so much again!
