Guest jade1046 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 What an awful thing to have to go through! So glad to hear Penny is doing better and I will keep her in my thoughts today. This is something all of us should be aware of, especially with the heat waves we've been having. I'm curious as to how long Penny was loose before you were able to get her. From your post it doesn't seem like she was out for very long, so apparently it doesn't take much for heat stroke and foot damage to occur in hot weather. That is so scary! Sending gentle hugs to Penny and good wishes to your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryhndens Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Update Sun @ 8:44 PST The vet just called and informed us that she urinated and there was no sign of blood. That is a very very good sign. Penny is undergoing Heparin treatment to increase the number of platelets in her blood. So glad to hear she is doing so much better... prayers still coming your way.

Guest BradyzMommy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 We transported Penny this morning from the ER vet in Pasadena to our regular vet just downt he street from our house. That hour ride in the car was wonderful!!! She seems like her regular shy but happy self; eating Teddy Grahams from my hand. Our vet read her medical reports and immediately thought that she was there to be put to sleep. He was shocked and amazed when he actually saw her; she is standing on her own and is alert and reponsive. He said that in all of his years, he has never seen a dog survive the first 24 hours with DIC from heat stroke. He said that only 10% of all cases actually survive. He said that her case is the type of case that vets write articles about in medical journals. He said that she is a miracle. He is keeping her on Heparin and will be re-testing her blood on a daily basis. She will spend her days at his practice and then we will move her to the ER vet for overnight care. Basically, her body is tryign to shut down, but we are all fighting to keep her alive. He warned us that things can change very quickly in these critical cases, but the fact that she made it this far is proof that she is strong. She isnt out of the woods yet, but she is getting closer. Thank you for all of the positive thoughts and prayers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
