Written by CP VP of Intakes
It happened in an instant ... he ran across the street and was hit by a car ... the car never stopped. He has no collar, no identification, no microchip ... no one has come looking for him. Luckily for him, someone saw him get hit and called the local animal warden who called a local rescue group who came and picked up the little Cairn and immediately took him to the vet to be treated for shock and pain.
The xrays show his pelvis is broken in 4 places, his left rear leg broken in another 4 places and he will need surgery as quickly as possible if he is to survive. The decision will have to be made to either try and repair his pelvis and leg ... or amputate his leg and repair his pelvis. He's estimated to be 3-4 years old ...
Col. Potter is working hard to get him released to us and somehow shorten the stray hold and allow him to have the surgery he so desperately needs.
He also desperately needs our prayers, positive thoughts and energy that he can hang on and we can get him the surgery he needs. PLEASE, PLEASE keep this little guy in your prayers and thoughts today,tonight and tomorrow. Let's all hope he has the Cairn will and strength to survive and CP can find the financial assistance to pull off another miracle!
I'll post updates as soon as they are available.
