macoduck Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Selma had escaped from her home, been hit by a car and was found walking, despite a broken sacrum and dislocated hip. She spent nearly a week in vet care before going home for 5 days. I transported her to a trauma care facility Friday night. She was stabilized and showing signs of improvement. We were optimistic about a consult scheduled for today with an orthopedic specialist. However, that was not to be. In the wee hours of last night she developed bloat. Selma was helped across the Bridge at 5:00am today in the loving arms of a GFNC member in Wilmington NC. Thanks to all of you who helped with the search for Selma by faxing, phoning and praying. I send a grateful thanks to Greyhound Friends of North Carolina for stepping up to help this dog who had not even been one of their own. A special hug and thank you to GTer Jordan, who knew the whole story and went above and beyond for this little greyhound. No U Turns Selma, now running with the angels..............
