I met this dog at a fun day a few weeks ago.
What a lovely dog she is
After all her problems as well
She is very lucky to be alive

2014-04-22 09:56 mathers22

That's wonderful I am so pleased x

2014-03-15 08:57 duffs54

So pleased xxx

2014-03-06 00:00 BigGSDPatlucky

The lady who runs the rescue has given her a home.
So she is safe and being well cared for.

2014-03-03 18:13 mathers22

Is she in Rescue x

2014-02-25 22:47 BigGSDPatlucky

Following this girl.
She is lovely

2014-02-23 12:45 Lorna

Caoimhe - an Irish name meaning beautiful, precious or gentle - how lovely.
Thanks for the update Hilli. Sounds like she's in the right hands for this long recovery process and she deserves nothing less after all she's been through.

2014-02-22 22:31 Hilli

This lady is now called Caoimhe (pronounced ke va). She is a cheeky girl but very loving. She had her first hydrotherapy session of many today, which tired her out but will benefit her in the long term.

2014-02-22 16:20 Lorna

Any more news on this lovely girl?

2014-02-03 15:59 BigGSDPatlucky

How is this sweet looking girl now

2014-02-02 11:59 mathers22

I am absolutely delighted she has a new home to go to. Now she should have the life she deserves. Bless her x

2014-02-01 08:46 duffs54

So pleased she now has a home and is safe, thank you for the updates xx

2014-01-29 16:06 ClaireC

Thank you for letting us all know how this girl is getting along. So pleased that she will have a forever and loving home to go to soon. Good luck in your new home xx

2014-01-28 20:59 Bo

Thanks again for the update and positive news - looking forward to hopefully seeing her when she's settled with her new family. X

2014-01-28 18:20 Hilli

This young lady is still doing well but it will be a long healing process with her front leg. Only time will tell. She's not ready for her hydrotherapy treatment yet but when she is she will start that, which will hopefully also help her front leg.

She is putting her paw down more often now and she goes for very short walks (50 yards or so) just to practice putting it down properly and put some weight on it. I think it has improved.

Caoimhe is quite a lively little lady but also a real poppet. She also has a forever loving home to go to, which she will move to next weekend.

2014-01-22 22:49 BigGSDPatlucky

I hope they do try everything before thinking about amputation .
Silly saying that as I know they are.
This dog deserves the best.
xx

2014-01-22 09:44 Bo

Thanks Hilli -

2014-01-21 22:03 Hilli

This little lady is settling in to foster very well. She is eating properly now. Her front leg is still a concern but she still tries to use it, albeit not always very well. She is a sweetheart.

2014-01-20 10:35 BigGSDPatlucky

Give this girls big hug from me.
The first day I saw her I thought she needs help.
Well done she is looking good

2014-01-19 05:42 Teddys Mum - Area Volunteer, West London

What a little sweetie, and one tough little cookie to have survived such appauling injuries and loss of her puppies. So pleased she has now gone into foster care, now that's progress.

2014-01-18 23:01 Bo

Thanks Hilli - good to hear the vet is still hopeful she will keep all her legs and her appetite seems fine.

2014-01-18 22:24 Hilli

Thank you all for your donations.

This young lady went into foster care today. She is still very weak and needs crate rest with a small, limited,amount of exercise as that is all she can cope with. Her front leg is not paralysed but she still knuckles and collapses on it. The vet is hoping amputation will not be necessary as she still tries to use it. She is eating and as I type this having a good sleep!

When she is a bit more recovered she will have some hydrotherapy to help build up her mobility.

2014-01-18 09:36 duffs54

What a gorgeous girl, missed this story somehow but just donated, hope she finds a lovely new home xxx

2014-01-17 17:36 Lorna

Oh my, what a beautiful girl!

2014-01-17 10:15 BigGSDPatlucky

lost dogs
Just a thought would it be possible to have the new photo put at the top.
The reason I ask is if an owner looks at the new photo they might recognise their dog.
Maybe still keep old photo just swao them over.
Thanks for reading

2014-01-17 09:46 BigGSDPatlucky

Thank you for new photo.
She has gone through a lot poor girl.
Beautiful babe.
Hope her owner might see her.

Thanks for your updates and to you and those involved in her care. Great to hear she is improving.

2014-01-16 11:31 Hilli

Hi Pat, I would if I knew how! If someone wants to let me know how, I will try and post a recent picture we took of her

2014-01-15 23:08 BigGSDPatlucky

Hilli can you replace the picture above?
Please .

2014-01-15 23:07 BigGSDPatlucky

Hilli can you replace the picture above?

2014-01-15 12:42 Bo

Thanks for the good news. She's seems to have the survivor spirit. Shame she can't have a pup by her side to cheer her up.

2014-01-14 19:29 ClaireC

Thank you Hilli for the update. I have say I can't blame her for wanting "indoors" where its warmer! As you say positive moves forward. Keep up the good work lovely girl and of course your surrogate mum xx

Update: 14-Jan-2014 (Posted on behalf of Lyn, GSD Rescue West Essex)

This little lady is starting to eat a bit more food and today she had a very short venture out of her kennel to the outside world (-but she soon wanted back inside again!). Anyway, a positive move forward....

If her eating habits continue to stabilise then she will be able to be on antibiotic tablets etc. instead of injections.

Good to hear she's stabilised - thanks for the update.

2014-01-12 17:29 ClaireC

Thank you for the update on this girl. xx

2014-01-12 16:43 Hilli

Hello and thank you all who have donated for this young lady.

There isn't really any 'new' news on this young lady except that she continues to hold her own and so things are still relatively positive at the moment. Funds so far have gone to pay towards the operation she initially required and for the strong antibiotics and pain killers that she is still on. Funds are also going towards her boarding and food.

Any updates that I have I will post as soon as I get them. It's going to be a long process to get her back to 'normal'.

Unfortunately I've not had the opportunity to get a clearer picture of her yet -but as soon as I do, I will post it, I promise.

Thank you all,

Hilli.

How is she today? How are the funds going for her care? I've donated but happy to help again if/when required. Please keep is updated. Have you a clearer picture of her when you're ready. Hope all is well.

2014-01-10 08:35 BigGSDPatlucky

It seems I posted under unknown .
Not sure how that happened.
Hope she is still holding her own poor girl.

2014-01-09 23:38 Unknown

Hilli thanks for the update.
She probably doesn't feel like eating if the liver count is up.
Once that starts coming down she will start feeling better.
I do pray this poor girl makes it.
Fingers crossed

2014-01-09 22:05 Hilli

Sorry for the late reply -I've only just got back from work:

This girl had a good night. She is eating but only a little but enough to ensure she is okay/safe with the strong antibiotic injections and painkillers that she is on.

She wagged her tail when Lyn visited her today and looked quite bright.

2014-01-09 21:14 Bo

Hilli
How is she today?

2014-01-08 22:53 Carol

To the vet and GSD thank you for helping her , I will donate tomorrow xxxx

2014-01-08 20:26 BigGSDPatlucky

My donation will be sent tomorrow.
Hope she will be ok

Update: 08-Jan-2014 (Posted on behalf of Lyn, GSD Rescue West Essex)

Lyn has just transported this little lady from the vets to the kennels where she will have a quiet, isolated place to stay. The vet lives onsite so he can keep a close eye on her.

The vet says she is extremely lucky to be alive considering the turmoil she has been through.

We estimate her to be ~1 year old. She is a dark sable, short coat. She is not microchipped.

She survived the operation but has been put on very strong antibiotics as there was a lot of 'cleaning up' that had to be done inside her. Her liver enzymes are showing higher than normal results at the moment but that is not unexpected because her body is in a bit of toxic shock at the moment (hence the antibiotics). The vet will repeat the blood tests in about a weeks time. He expects the results to normalise with time.

She is a bit weaker on her legs today but that is because of the surgery she had yesterday. She is eating a little of what she fancies at the moment, which is chicken.

Her front leg will be reassessed in a few weeks and her pelvis left to heal naturally, as mentioned in earlier comment.

It will be a slow process but so far she is moving in the right direction.

Thank you for your support and donations.

2014-01-08 01:54 Seeks

I am glad that GSD rescue have her.... now she will be safe.

Glad the vets treated her as she must have been in such pain, bless her.

Hope she will soon be a lot better but please keep us up dated

2014-01-08 00:23 Carol

Donation done , am praying xxx

2014-01-07 22:07 Debs

2014-01-07 20:12 Lesley Taylor

Donation sent - so hopes she makes it and gets a loving home.

2014-01-07 19:59 ClaireC

Probably can't call her anything at the moment as the way the Donations account is set up as a thought for you Bo. Nice name though xx

2014-01-07 18:35 Bo

Can we call her a German name "Luna"- I just pinked myself in error!
Tragic ref her pups but delighted she now has a chance. I just donated. Please let us know how she's getting on.

Posting an update on behalf of Lyn (German Shepherd Rescue West Essex):

Sadly this little girl was heavily pregnant but all the (many) puppies were dead and disintegrating in her body. Unfortunately her uterus had also ruptured. The vet is currently operating to clean her up inside. She has been under anaesthetic for a few hours. She is not out of the woods yet as there is always a risk of scepticaemia. However, she is holding up so far.

She has been x-rayed and her pelvis is not shattered, so she will not be operated on for this and it will be left to heal naturally. She will require pain relief medication and complete bed rest for the immediate future.

Her front leg is not paralysed but does have extensive nerve and muscle damage. There is a possibility that it will need to be removed but for now they are going to leave it as she is holding it on occasions and not 'dragging' it. They will leave it for a some weeks and then review again before making any such decision.

She may stay at the vets for a few days before being moved. I will post an update tomorrow.

Thank you for any donations. Everything will go towards the care and rehabilitation of this young girl.

Poor girl.
I will now add what I know about her.

Ok. I've just got off the phone to Lyn cook. She has spoken to the vets and there's a worrying report to give you:

So far, the 'tests' they have carried out have been inconclusive.

They think she is pregnant but that the puppies may be dead. They think she has broken her pelvis and this is obviously making the use of her back legs difficult. The front leg is paralysed but they think this could be just nerve damage. If not, there's talk of amputation.

Lyn is going to collect her tomorrow and take her into the care of West Essex GSD rescue. Tomorrow Lyn will take her to another vet who will scan her to see a) if she is pregnant and b) if the puppies are alive.

If the puppies are alive and over 5/6 weeks gestation, he will leave her to have her babies naturally and at full term. If they are dead inside her, he will operate to remove the poor little pups and Spey her at the same time.

To avoid more than one anaesthetic , he will x-ray to see what's going on with the pelvis and front leg. If the pelvis is broken, there's a good chance it will heal on its own. If it is shattered, he will have to go in surgically to try to repair it.

The x-ray on the front leg will reveal whether there's a break or if the paralysis is due to nerve damage. If its nerve damage, then the front leg will need to be amputated. That will depend on what they find with the pelvic examinations and x-ray.

Since being at the vet, I am told she had just been given pain relief , which is as far as the council will go towards costs. Any vet bills will be down to Lyn as West Essex GSD rescue.

There have been offers of financial help. If necessary (and we'll know after tomorrow), donations can be made via BIGGSD. Prople who prefer to donate directly to Lyn for her care can pay into her bank and I will get the details and post on here.

No doubt Lyn will post up once she has collected this little girl tomorrow

2014-01-06 19:05 DogLostAngus

update...doing ok...going gsd rescue morrow...and they are getting her to their own vets and everything she needs doing..will be sorted ASAP!!!!!!! Altho she looks sad in this pic ...her tail was wagging x lol

Do you know what injuries she has please.?

2014-01-05 22:00 DogLostAngus

2014-01-05 18:47 BigGSDPatlucky

Please keep looking in as we may need it if owner is not found.
Thanks

2014-01-05 18:36 silver

Another poor dog involved in an RTA. So glad to hear she is receiving good care from the vets and hope she makes a speedy recovery. I am happy to make donation. xx

2014-01-05 12:20 BigGSDPatlucky

So glad this dog is receiving some treatment.
I had not read all the posts sorry about that.
Is the photo you have too graphic to post.?

2014-01-05 11:49 DogLostAngus

she has received some treatment from the vets it is in one of my early updates - these are very good vets who often treat at their own cost in cases like this - there a lot more detail that I have been supplied with but at present we are looking for owners - I will have a new photo on Monday which I will post - I am currently holding the one vets sent went she was first admitted after the RTA

2014-01-05 11:19 BigGSDPatlucky

I know how you feel.
This dog was found on 30 December.
So have the vets given any treatment.
If not why not and how could they.
On the other hand we do not know.
One thing I do know is Pat at Mutts-in-Distress is doing all she can.
It is lovely that people are willing to give to help.
So please keep watching this space as we might need you.
Thanks
xx

2014-01-05 11:02 Carol

This makes me quite cross arguing about who's dog section this poor in pain dog belongs to cant you just get her injuries dealt with then sort out who is responsible for the bill we are all willing to donate just get her some help!! we all donated for Bonnie and helped her lets do it for this one too , I will prob be pinked but at least it would have been after its been read , the national press can put out an appeal too as we are friends with them I can call upon them to help if ness , thank you aAngus for your reassurance xxx

2014-01-05 09:35 BigGSDPatlucky

I posted this dog on BIGGSD site.
Please read as this is an answer from a dig rescue in the area.
Pat has said I could post it on here.
So below this line is copied and pasted Thanks.
Mutts in distress are aware of this dog as it's in our area.
If she was picked up within our boundary and remains unclaimed, then she will come to mutts in distress. If (as I think she may be) she was picked up in Epping forests area, then she will go to the RSPCA kennels in Waltham abbey via Lyn cook (west Essex Gsd rescue - Audlynton) on here.

Not sure yet who's responsibility this poor little mite will turn out to be. If its epping forests dog, I don't think they will pay for other than emergency treatment. Same if it is in our area. Harlow council usually only pay for emergency treatment.

If she is unclaimed, mutts in distress will the her if allowed but we already have a vet bill approaching £10,000 which we are paying off, plus if course any short fall in Sandys treatment will be net by mutts on distress, doing this poor girl comes to us, we would need an appeal to help with vets costs. But she would be safe, warm and welcome here.

Just depends who's 'stray' she turns out to be.

Patlucky, feel free to post my reply on dog lost. I see some on there have already offered help towards vet bill.

Love her she must be bewildered and in pain.

I'll ring the vets later to find out who's stray she is
Harlow (ours) or EFDC.

We had been notified as soon as she was taken to vet.

Hers hoping her mum finds her :fingers crossed:

2014-01-05 00:07 BigGSDPatlucky

Any chance of a photo?

2014-01-05 00:05 BigGSDPatlucky

I have posted it on BIGGSD.

2013-12-31 00:14 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

I wonder if the vets have checked with Chalet Boarding kennels who are just off Ongar Road, due to the high winds they may have an escapee.

2013-12-30 23:24 DogLostAngus

I have looked at the image the vet has sent me by text - the found dog is too light for Tigan 49277 - more of a dark sable - picture has been withheld due to injuries sustained but I will personally check every match suggested

2013-12-30 21:05 Faithsmum

I think you mean Tigan Dog I.D. 49277? Says she is chipped
