another attack!
 

My mom's YorkiePoo was attacked today by a big dog in her neighborhood! She does not know what kind of dog the other dog is. I don't know if any of you remember my story of Mimi and how my mom got her. She is my moms "gift". We beleieve that she came into my moms life for a reason and they were meant to be with each other. As of right now this baby is facing being handicapped for her life. The big dog picked her up and shook her like a rag dog. Puntured a hole in her belly and spine. She is in ICU possibly awaiting surgery right now to her spine to try to save her from being handicapped. My moms hubby was walking the dogs on a leash and a neighbor was bringing their dog from the car to the house without a leash and the dog broke away and went after mimi. Please everyone pray for her, I know this probably makes NO sense, but Im so upset right now! Pray for her and her health, she is not going to die unless she gets an infection with the belly bite.. but lets hope the vets and surgeons can fix her spine and leg!

Oh how sad I am praying for her. Keep us posted on how her surgery goes

I'm so sorry:( Prayer going up for Mimi right now. Please update when you can.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My bichon/maltese was attacked by a huge dog about a year ago. She got of the house and I could hear her screaming from inside my house. She was OK, but tramautized for a couple days. My heart almost broke, and I just wanted to help her, but there was nothing I could do. I felt helpless. I'll pray your Yorkie does OK.

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that happened to Mimi.:( I think it makes complete sence that your upset about what happened to Mimi. I pray that the vet Dr's will be able to make Mimi well and she won't be handicapped. :hands: Please keep us informed.

OMG!!! I am saddened again to hear of another dog attack on a Yorkie, or other small breed! I sure hope Mimi is going to be OK and that the surgery will help her! My thots and prayers are with you and Mimi!!

LYH fr Ginger and Shy, too.

God be with you guys

Oh how horrible!! I will certainly be praying for that poor little fur-kid and I do hope she has a speedy recovery and back to health soon. I hope those people are made to pay the Vet. bill!!

oh i hope they'll be able to save her from being handicapped! good luck, and i hope that she'll be feeling better soon

Prayers are coming your way. I know your poor mom would be devestated if anything happened to her.

Oh, poor little Mimi:( Prayers coming out from Utah for a successful surgery and speedy recovery!

Prayers for Mimi

So sorry to hear this. These things can happen so quickly and it's hard to even imagine unless you've been in that situation. I was recently walking my 2 dogs and a german shepard charged out at us. I have thought about it so often having read so many threads and I always thought that I would do this or that but it just happened so fast that I couldn't get my hands of Zoe by the time he was at us. She of course thinks she's a rottweiler which makes things worse. Lucky for us, the shepard was interested in my collie who is much more able to take care of herself and they just sniffed each other and things were fine and of course I was finally able to get my hands on my little rottweiler wanna be. I was shaking and my heart was about ready to beat out of my chest. Thank goodness things worked out for me but I guess I just wanted to say that these things can happen so quickly and it's just so sad as there really is almost nothing you can do :(

I no longer walk my dogs in my neighborhood because of this reason. We repeatedly had unleashed dogs approach us on our walks. I just couldn't continue to take a chance. Luckily I have a large fenced in back yard so they can still run and get exercise. I'm so sorry about Mimi, I hope she recovers fully and quickly. I'll say a prayer for her. Let us know how she does.

OMG, so sorry. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Praying for a complete recovery.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's fur baby. I hope Mimi will be okay! Best of luck to you and your family!

This news is absolutely devastating! Our prayers are on the way!

In so sorry to hear about the hurt dog, and you have every reason to be upset. I would be beside myself if anything happened to chester. Chester and I are sending prayers your way.

Poor baby! Bless her heart! I hope the owners of the dog that attacked the baby are held responsible! :(

Update on Little Miss Mimi
 

I missed a call from mom at 8 last night... mimi made it through surgery, she had a hole in her bone that nicked her spinal cord.. very minimal, they fixed her up and the vet say she should make a full recovery! YAYYYYY!!!! Im soooo relieved! Now just to pray that no infection sets in! They thought she could be paralyzed from the waist down for life. Im sooo glad and relieved to hear this!!!

Thanks for your prayers all! Keep praying, this baby is not out of the woods yet, she has to get through the healing without getting an infection! :thankyou2 :thankyou2

Hoping Mimi has a speedy recovery and stays strong until there is no longer a worry!!! GREAT NEWS!!!

Love, hugs and flowers for Mimi from Ginger and ShyAnne

Oh no,! I am praying for her. Keep us updated!

That is SO awful. :mad: Thoughts and prayers for little Mimi and the rest of your family.:)

So glad to hear little Mimi is alright!!! :D

Now, I hope, HOPE your mom decides to go after that owner for the vet bills! I can't imagine that trip to the vet and surgery is cheap! :mad:

Update:
 

Well I guess Mimi was a lucky girl all things considering... she had surgery on her spinal column. The vet said 1 more millimeter and a bone shard would have pierced her spinal cord leaving her paralyzed and she would have had to have been put down. Thank goodness for that! She is still in ICU being monitored closely. She has stitches from her neck all the way down to the base of her tail. They are keeping a close eye on her to make sure the belly wound does not get infected, that is now the biggest fear. She is going to have months of physical therapy to help her with use of her back legs again and her spine. The doctors say its going to be a LONG road to recovery. I feel soooo bad for this baby! She is a year old and her first home was neglectful, not abusive though. She finally get a home where she is loved to pieces and spoiled rotten and this happens less than a month later! Its just so hard to see such an adorable, sweet, smart, frisky little girl so full of life and love go through all this by the age of 1. It saddens me to no end.

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. I am still hoping and praying that she grows stronger each day and this is all behind her. Shes such a doll! Here is a pic of her! She is a bit underweight my mom is working on fattening her up! She is just thriving in her new home with my mom and step father! :D

Praying for Mimi.:getwell:
