According to The Moho, someone reported about this poor dog who was hit by a vehicle a couple of days ago and cannot move her hind legs.
Clearly, she has just given birth and is probably distressed because she cannot find her puppies. People pass by, but no one helps her as she sits motionless by the roadside, crying in distress for days.
A group of volunteers rescued the dog and took her to a local shelter. She appears to be paralyzed or have a broken leg. They named her Sinead (pronounced shinade).
There were no signs of puppies anywhere, so she might still be pregnant. The volunteers searched the neighborhood and asked around, but there was no sign of the puppies!
After a day, they took her to the Animal Wellness Center, where X-rays were taken to determine the severity of the injury caused by the hit-and-run.
Sinead’s X-rays came back negative for fractures in her limbs and pelvis, but she did have a spinal fracture that affected the nerves in her hind legs.
She was able to defecate and urinate at the shelter, so we hope her functions are not impaired. Dr. Gama, who took the X-rays, believes that laser therapy might help her recover.
She will undergo intensive laser therapy for seven consecutive days. They need to keep her there because it’s too stressful for her to be driven on rough roads every day.
After four days, she is still on IV fluids and nutritional support to try to increase her red blood cell count.
She also has a catheter because she has difficulty emptying her bladder. She continues to receive regular laser therapy.
She is doing much better. She can now eat and drink on her own, and last night she pooped three times.
After 13 days and 9 laser treatments, there is significant improvement in her muscle and bone development.
However, her spine, like Tink’s, remains misaligned, but we hope that more laser therapy will help strengthen it.
A month later, she is in good condition, but the vets are not sure if Sinead will regain the use of her legs.
I hope she finds a home! We pray for you! I hope you regain the use of your hind legs! We love you, Sinead!
