Dougie Update – tiny shih tzu hit by car – very serious injuries
Wow, this is one lucky boy! Thanks to all of you, Dougie had the surgery to repair his ruptured diaphram yesterday, Wednesday. He is recovering today and if he is showing enough improvement, we are trying to get him in to the orthopedic surgeon to repair his pelvis.
I visited him today at lunch and took this very short video. He has lost weight – he’s under 3 pounds now, but since he probably didn’t eat from Saturday through today (pretty risky to force feed a dog whose intestines are smashed up next to his heart and lungs), it’s not unusual to see weight loss.
He is in pretty critical shape, as you can guess.
Dougie is close enough for us to say “good to go.” Thanks to:
There were over 100 people that donated for this baby boy. WHAT A LUCKY BOY THIS ONE IS!!

I would love to see an update on Dougie….I did make a donation even though my name does not appear on the list of donors.
I hope he is well and happy.
