We will never know for sure if the owner was the one who surrendered her or if her story was true and this was a stray. Personally, I think it was the owner. The story is that this yorkie was attacked by a doberman. It happened on Saturday and she contacted AC yesterday. She said her daughter had saved the pup...suppose it is possible. I would think that if that were true, someone would have called the police to report it?? Who knows.

Anyway....her name is Summer and she was in an extreme amount of pain and had a temp of 104 when she got to my vet today. Her wounds are just disgusting looking and the smell was like that of rotting flesh. I still have it in my nose. So terribly sad and in spite of that the little darling was wagging her tail at my vet. :( She has a large wound on her throat...luckily the trachea was not touched...and one on the inner aspect of her left hind leg. Xrays did show pleural effusion most likely from being shaken by the other dog. She does have bruising. It is unreal that this little one survived.

I just went to visit her before they closed. She is on IV fluids and has antibiotics on board and also is being medicated with Bupranex for pain. They will evaluate her in the AM and make a decision then about doing a debridement. It must be done, but they may want to hold off another day. They may want to keep her on antibiotics a bit longer before doing it.

She did eat a tiny bit of food when I offered it to her on a spoon. She is very weak and thin....every rib and her spine shows. :( Just heartbreaking. She weighs 5.5 and probably should be about 7.5 .

I am posting this with the hopes that it will help someone in the future. Dog bites can be extremely dangerous to little dogs. Infections almost always set in. When dogs are bitten by other dogs they must be seen by a vet!

WARNING: Pictures are extremely graphic.

I'm sending my thoughts and prayers that her new home is wonderful and that she continues to get the love that she has become used to while staying with LadyJane (Linda) and her gang.

Linda, is there any chance we can see one more picture of Summer before she goes? It has been amazing following her progress.

Yay Summer!!! I'm so glad this lovely little lady has her very own forever home. Linda please post one last update picture. It's been over a year since this thread was started and I'd love to see how she looks now.

Well heck....Summer got sick and was at the vet this morning for fluids. So, her new home is going to wait. They live a few hours from me and it would not be a good idea for her to travel with an upset tummy. Hopefully this is just a quickly passing thing.

There are lots of pictures of her on the YHR site, but I will post a few here as well. Her link is:

Adoptable Pups


The last one is from Urban Paws Magazine in Houston...she was in the Jan/Feb edition.

She will have a little fur brother to play with. While with me, Summer has played daily with my boys. She is not much for the girls....little flirt that she is. :D
I am so sure all will be great for her...but please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that she adjusts well and her new brother loves her as much as my boys do. :)

Ha! She heard she was going to have to leave you and Yorkie "Heaven"! You'd better keep it a secret next time or she may never get well! I hope she gets better very soon!!!
