Sweet little Cassidy was an emergency release from a
Dallas-area shelter. They contacted us with an urgent
request to get her out ASAP. No one knows exactly what
happened to her, but her back legs were skinned to the
bones and bloody. Her entire left back leg had the flesh
ripped off and the dew claw was barely attached. The
right leg was highly infected and smelled tremendously
from this infection. It was scraped raw, down the bone.
The people at the shelter couldn't get it to stop
bleeding. The local vet said it's possible that she was hit
by a car. He said that sometimes dogs land in odd
positions with their legs "splayed" out and that could
have been what happened to Cassidy. She's just been
switched to a stronger antibiotic to stop the infection,
so hopefully her right leg can be saved. She also needs
hydrotherapy to help save her leg. The good news is that
she can urinate and have BMs, which is a huge concern
with this type of injury. Through this ordeal, Cassidy has
been the nicest dog imaginable. She truly understands
that she has been saved and now has a hope for a future.
Through her pain and confusion, she has shown nothing
but sweetness. She knows that we are here to help her
and take care of her.
orthopedic surgery that most likely will need to be done at Dallas Surgical Veterinary Clinic - the great people
that took care of Rosie!! But it will be expensive – we’re estimating at least $1000 and she’ll have to have it
by her appointment next week. Please help Cassidy.
her respiratory condition. Our veterinarian has now given us a figure of $1200. Thanks to all of our wonderful
donors, we are almost there! Thank you so much!
