Yesterday our dog, Auggie, got hit by a car. No, he wasn't supposed to be running the neighborhood but he accidently got out. I was chasing him around the neighborhood and just when it seemed like he was ready to give up and run across the street to our house, BOOM, he ran into a moving car. He hit the hubcap/tire of a speeding SUV and was tossed right back under it only to come back out the same side. I was right there watching helplessly. The SUV did not stop but the vehicle behind it did. When Auggie got up he hobbled across the street, into our house and straight to his crate. He was walking on 3 paws. I called the emergency vet as I figured his leg was broken and his eye was bleeding very badly but I was much more worried about any internal injuries. Seems he did break his leg in two places and may actually lose that leg but that seems to be the worst of it. His eye suffered some trauma as did his lung but eveything should be ok. He's still at the hospital until Monday when we can bring him home. Poor baby. He will be have to be crated for a while to let the leg heal. The vet called this morning to tell me that he was up and walking on 3 paws and eat a big meal so that's great news. hopefully he will heal quick and he doesn't lose his leg to infection.
i swear, if it's not one thing it's another these days. sheesh!
