I would not worry about the AC right now. You have enough on your plate caring for Deeogi. At least she is now paying the bills for your vet. She really should pay for the EC as well, but sounds like he is doing ok.

Just focus on your little one and taking care of yourself for now. I know you must be exhausted. You can think more clearly later on. I would hate to tell you to call the AC and then have them come down on you. Honestly, I don't think it would happen because the focus would be on what her dog did; but anything can happen once they get involved.

I would sure report the dog in the hopes that some other victim might be saved this kind of suffering. Probably AC has no need to visit you in person as you are not the offender. Mine didn't even need me to sign anything or do anything except to make the verbal report on the phone and they followed up with the dog quarantined and called me to let me know when the dog had completed its quarantine with no ill effects. Course since that dog was quarantined at the same vet I used, the vet was keeping me informed also.

I sure hope you can keep this dog off your premises in the future! Still praying for Deeogi and you. Keep us posted.

So sorry to hear about all of this. I will keep you and Deeogi and your whole family in my prayers.

I'm so glad your baby is doing better we are still praying for him! Do you have any family or friends that could take your baby's for a few days maybe until everything is said and done?

Prayers have been answered.... Deeogi is improving, and the neighbor is paying as she should.

Do you have any way of knowing if the neighbor has gotten the pit bull out of her home permanently, or if she intends to bring it back? IF she has re-homed it permanently, and she is taking financial responsibility, then she is doing about all she can to make it right, and she must feel bad about it all. In that case, it wouldn't be necessary for you to report the incident, and jeopardize your other pups.

I wish you all the best in dealing with it all, and hope Deeogi continues to recover.

Father God, we come to you today asking for your grace and mercy for Deeogi. Lord you have the last word, Father, and we are trusting in you right now to place your hedge of protection around Deeogi and the doctors operating. Annoint there hands, Father, that they may give what is needed for a speedy recovery. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen

AMEN

Do you have any family or friends who might be able to keep a couple of your furbabies while you go through this? That way if AC came to your house you might not be in jeopardy. Just a thought.

amen!

Update on Deeogi:
Vet called me an hour ago to give me report on D. He is looking alot better:)
only concern is that he is still vomiting and vet can't figure out why.They will do mre bloodwork and xrays if he is still vomintg tonight. They let me bring him home for the night again. I just tried to feed him some baby food and Thank God he went crazy for it:thumbup: lol yesterday everytime I tried he would turn his face away. He even cried because i could only give him 1 tsp.
But that is definitely a good sign maybe he has been vomiting because of empty stomache and sooooo much meds

Regarding my neighbor - It is really weird because she is always in her front yard doing something either watering, gardening or just sitting outside but she hasn't been out at all.

I have decided to report it but not until she has paid all vet bills. I will registering 2 of my yorkies with my friends address. And then If asked I will say I dog sit. Which is actually true because I do dog sit a few yorkies throughout the year whenever the owners go on vacation.

I called animal control earlier and asked what were the regulations on dog sitting at my home. They told me I didn't need a license to do it but that every dog needed to have up to date rabies vaccine and be licensed.

I then went few houses down to a neighbor of mine who has 5 dogs and animal control has came to her house before. She told me that the time the were their was because she hadn't paid license fees. They asked how many dogs do you have she said 5 he asked for rabies vaccines and checked to make sure they were all registered which they were. He said ok and that was the end of it. I asked her how did they get away with 5 when our city only allows 3. She didn't know but she was thinking maybe because they were all vaccinated and were registered. I though maybe they were registered to different address but she said no they are all registered here.

So I felt better after talking to her.

Once again thank you so very much for all the prayers and good wishes.


p.s. can you please add to prayer list that everything go smoothly with animal control :)

So glad things are a little better for Deeogi. Hopefully the vet will find out what is causing the vomiting. I am so glad the neighbor is paying the vet bill and she should. Hopefully nothing will come of AC if they come to visit you. Will add that in on the prayers. Keep us updated and give Deeogi hugs.

So happy to hear he is improving. Prayer are still coming your way.

One thing to consider if he stops eating the baby food, you can always syringe it into him if need be.

How often is he allowed to have 1 tsp of food? How big is he? when Nya had her ordeal with her surgery I was syringing baby food into her and the vet told me I could give her 4-6 teaspoons every 4 hours. 1 teaspoon does not seem like much at all, depending on his size.

The vomitting is probably from the meds he is on, I assume he is on an antibiotic and pain killers both of which tend to upset the tummy. Ask the vet for reglan to help with the vomitting.

Hope he is all better very soon

I hope your little one continues to improve. Just checking in.

I am so, so happy to hear that Deeogi is doing better!!

Your plan regarding AC sounds great.

Will continue to keep you and your sweet pup in my thoughts and prayers.

So glad he is feeling better! Continuing to pray!

He is looking alot better today he is actually able to keep his head up on his own :D
They had to shave him and they only left some hair on ears which makes his ears look HUGE lol Staff at vet's office loved his ears.

He has drainage tubes everywhere he also has alot of bruising on his chest.

I'm so glad he is doing better and eating. Good for you for checking out the dog limit situation. Where I live the limit is 3 but the Mayor told me that if you have one or two more they don't say anything unless someone specifically makes a complaint. She had 5 Yorkies herself including a couple of rescues. Good luck and I will say a prayer for you and your doggies that everything works out for you.

I can't belive I somehow missed this thread. (I also work in the schools and we started back this week so I haven't been on much):(

I am so sorry your family had to go through such a nightmare BUT overjoyed your sweet Deeogi has recovered and pulled through so well. I will add your little guy to my prayers.:hug:

Awwww, that poor little baby. :(:( I am so glad he is able to hold his head up. He has a lot of stitches it looks like. Lots of extra love for that little baby. Don't they usually put animals down that attack like that? I don't know just asking.

Oh, thank God he is ok. He looks good for what he has been through. Cute as he can be! :)

One more
He is sleeping now

Awww, makes you want to just give him a hug. He is adorable and must be quite a fighter. He is a doll. :)

I am with his vet staff, I love his hears too.:) He looks amazing after all he has endured!:thumbup:

I forgot to mention he gave me a kiss right when I picked him up from vet:D
That's when i knew he was better because he loves to give kisses.

He has alot more stitches then what the pic shows. They are under his arm and on other side of face. The biggest wound goes from side of his chest up to side of his ear.

This just breaks my heart, give him lots of hugs from me and my babies. Happy to hear he is doing better. Continued prayers for you and the situation with AC. Deeogi is such a brave boy.

Bless that poor little darling's heart. Such a brave little face. Oh, it makes my heart hurt to think of his terror and pain and fear. God help the other little animals and children on that block. Your little baby did not deserve this and it was so completely unnecessary. If that dog owner had just done the right thing your baby would be fine and happy in your home right now playing with a toy. I am so sorry this happened to that sweet little thing it just breaks my heart. Please give him the softest and gentlest hug from Tibbe and me and whisper we all love him. ♥♥♥

poor baby!

What a little fighter! He looks so comfy. I hope he continues to do better.

omg I got goosebumps over the goosebumps!='( poor baby, hope he's not in too much pain='(

omg poor dog. thank God he's alive and going to heal. prayers for quick healing and lots of patience and rest for Deeogi. Poor baby

I hope you take those vet bills to their door and tell them either they pay for them all or you are taking them to court for it. That shouldn't have happened and they owe you big time!!

Poor sweet baby! You must have gone to a wonderful vet!
We're keeping you in our thoughts.
:love:
