Earlier today my mom, me and my toddlers were going to head over to the stores to do some shopping. After loading the girls into their car seats my daughter tells me she needs to use the potty. I run her back into the house and she is so excited she runs back out of the house. My dog followed her out and ran off. By the time my mom could grab my daughter and I could get the car out of the driveway she was no where to be seen.
I spent a good half hour looking for her. I was driving around with my other daughter when my husband called. Just as I was telling him I couldn't find her I look over and see her cowering on the stoop of our neighbor around the corner. I call her and she doesn't come. She just sat there leaning against their house. I jump out of the car and go over and she is covered in cuts and scratches with a huge gash down the whole top of her head. She is terrified and wide eyed. I get her into the car, run back to my house for a leash and to drop off my other daughter who was still in the car. I call my vet and tell him I am on the way. They tell me they are booked up and there is only one vet there. While I am on hold Im still driving there. Finally they tell me they will see her.
They think she got hit by a car. She was very lucky though and doesn't appear to have any broken bones. So far it doesn't look like she has internal bleeding. I have to keep watch over her and check her gums several times a day. There is a small area on the side of her chest that may be injured, but it doesn't look broken. Several xays, stitches, morphine and $500. later we are back home. Tonight I have to keep checking her to make sure she doesn't get worse. This could have been a very bad day for our family, I am so grateful that she is with us and that hopefully she just keeps improving. Her face is all scratched up and both of her eyes are damaged. She is going to look like a bait dog, but if that is all that happens that's fine by us.
