I am a bit more hopeful tonight after speaking with the specialist. Lily Rose's ultrasound did not show any major internal injuries. Apparently the liver is simply inflammed from all of the infection in her little body. She did eat tonight, so she is a fighter...that will bode well for her. Many of you will remember Summer....she was like that, too! These little ones have so much stamina.
Anyway....she had a surgical consult and they are planning on debridement of two of her wounds tomorrow...one over the sacrum and one on the left flank. In dog bite injuries, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. They won't know how invasive this is until they are in there, but they have a feeling it will be pretty severe. So, she will more than likely have open wounds that will be packed and cleaned daily until the infection is clear and there is enough skin to close them up. This is exactly what Summer went through. This is going to be a long haul, but it looks more promising. I will update tomorrow when I know more.
Thank you for all of the prayers and donations! |
