Guest BradyzMommy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 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! It all seemed like an eternity while she was loose, but the truth of the matter is that she was on the run less than 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest savvyprchick 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!!! She's absolutely strong. Keep positive... you've beat enough odds as it is, a few more are nothing!

ShantisMom Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 She is proving she is one strong girl and has a lot to hang on for. You and Steve stay strong too! I am glad she is at your vet now and a lot closer. 7/7/7 is suppose to be a lucky day. Lucky in the fact that you got her back quickly and got her medical attention fast. She is a miracle girl! Our prayers continue for her! Quote The Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
