I went to see him earlier today and they told me he had vomited 3 times:(
so they need to keep him another day. Owner of the pit is upset now because vet bills are so high. She paid for surgery but now she is giving us a hard time about the rest of the bill $654 needs to be paid by tomorrow.
I am currently unemployed through the summer I work at a school and because of budget will not be working for 3 months:(
I do not have money to pay this bill. I went over to her house earlier to give her an update on Deeogi and tell show her pics of his injuries. i also mentioned to her that one of his front legs was severely damaged and that it probably happened when the pit pulled him under the fence. She got very upset and said there is no way that happened Tank (that's pit's name) would never have pulled your yorkie through fence. I asked then how did his leg get so torn up? she didn't respond. I reminded her that my yorkies never dig holes or try to get out of our backyard. She told me she didn't have anymore money to pay anything else.
I left to go see Deeogi and while I was gone my daughter said that she was taking picture of the fence. This stressed me out even more because I don't know what she's up to.
So if she tries to argue that my yorkie got out on his own (which I already know didn't happen) isn't she still liable because her pit was on my property?
For those of you who said to call animal control - I am afraid to because I have 5 yorkies 1 chihuahua rescue and 1 white boxer rescue. I also dog sit other yorkies every so often. So I know she would also report me:(
Any advice appreciated
| Oh, I am so sorry your baby is hurting but thank God it sounds like Deeogi will survive. The next dog this pit attacks likely will not. You have to think of the public safety issue as that pit's next victim could be a toddler out on its front porch! You must do the right thing and report this dog. AC will likely work with you and your rescues but even if they won't, you still must make them aware a dangerous animal lives in that area that can readily jump its fense or other wise get off its property. You would feel just horrible if this dog's next victim is a little child.
I pray that little Deeogi can return to a normal life and full function. He's been through so much and it sounds like your calm reassurance when you found him and on the way to the vet did a lot to calm him during his pain and stress. I have been through a very similar experience with my last Yorkie and know how hard it is to be calm when you think your dog is dying in your arms from a viscious attack. You stress has got to be at peak level as well, so try to take some time to decompress if at all possible.
Do not let your neighbor frighten and bully you. Her dog attacked yours in your yard and she is solely responsible. She must be made to quarantine that dog and report the results of it to your vet and she must be made to make permanent arrangements with AC for how she intends to ensure that this tragedy never happens again. You could save another dog owner or parent from what you have just gone through with a phone call to AC.
God bless you and little Deeogi and you are both in my prayers. ♥♥♥♥♥ |
