GreyAcresMom Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I am not sure that I have ever really asked for REAL prayers for any of my dogs. Well, there was Jac-Fooy. Benny Ben Ben is really sick. We don't know what happened. My Vet can't even really tell. The Vet has given him less than a 50-50 chance. He is here with me. I just couldn't leave him in a crate with nobody there for him. We don't have a 24 hour vet with on site care here..... I have just been holding him all day so he can hear my heart and smell me ..... Any and all prayers and candles thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Don't worry. He is not contagious. I would not do that to the other dogs. I will update as I can here in this post. **Also please forgive my spellings...I can't correct.. It loses the whole post.......this is my last attempt...... I can't think..I can't hurt anymore...I just want to give up.................nothing has been right for 6 months..... ******UPDATE AUG 18******** Ben is doing better. I still have no idea what happened. I will try to tell the story, but it is full of holes. I got home from work a little early. My emotional stability has been off kilter for a while and I just could'nt deal with people anymore..so I took a few hours off. I got home around 12:30 - 12:45 am (Monday) I put the 5 pups out "back" to the pond area. They love the grass and such so the bassets and Max, Precious, and Ben go out there. The greys are "locked out back" until they all settle down. The "boys" are sleeping so I want all the dogs to be a little calm and quiet. I take off my makeup-make lunches for the "boys" and change..etc. This all takes about 45 minutes. TOPS **Boys = my son, his best friend and the grandson. My son moved in when DH moved to CA he helps a lot with $$ and manual labor ** I then let all the dogs back in and they get their nightly pill/treat. (Angel and 'Mo get the pills 2x a day) so all get treats. Anyway, it is now about 2:30 am 'ish. I am in my room watching TV and on computer. I am about 13 ft from the back door where the dogs go in and out. The dogs are barking and just making general noise...but then Pickles comes in totally freaked out...a totally different bark and you could tell she is scared ****less. *Pickles is son's basset** So I go out and see what the he77 is going on. All the greys are running to the north fence line. The 3 littles are around Ben...who I truly thought was dead...he is motionliss on his right side, covered in stick,,dirt,,mouth open..tongue out.. I lose it. I I can't even bring myself to pick him up. I got plasic bags, and then I realise that he is still breathing. **I truly don't think that I have EVER lost it like that in my life: rather embarissing when you think about it. I am the strong one that keeps it together until the end..then when everything is done..I lose it.. ** I go and wake my son, he can tell rightaway that something is truly wrong. I tell him, Ben is taking his final breaths and he needs to "put him out of his misery for me ** He goes outside and comes back in....by then DS BFF comes and finds me totally hysterical, and Joe tells him he can't do it...I then make up my mind and I HAVE TO DO IT. I can't let my little guy suffer like that. I had already told Ben to go ahead and "go" it was ok..I can't do it....(earlier when I had first found him) So I go out and am totally crying....I moan a "ahhhhh..my Benny Ben Ben.....and he LIFTS HIS HEAD AND LOOKS AT ME!! OMG.....OMFG.... I pick him up a gently as I can and carry him to the kitchen sink. **as he licks tears off my face** I spray him down...there is no blood, I just can't figure it out. I keep him in his crate...not sure what to do...we don't really have an E-vet here..so I call to see what time my vet opens. 7am. So I just keep him on my chest..so he breaths easier... I get to the vet and tell them it is sort-of and emergency. **No blood and guts ya know?** So they take me right back...get my DR and she takes him back to do x-rays. His whole right side is kinda smashed. 4 broken ribs, collapsed lung, fluid of some sort..in around lungs, maybe blood in the stomach..maybe right shoulder fracture at the "collar bone". BUT THERE IN NOT A LARGE ENOUGH PUNCTURE WOUND, for a dog to have played with him like a stuffy...Vet feels that the trauma would have something on BOTH sides if "run over by the greyhound bus". There are a few itty bitty wounds...puncture like on the right side. SO WHAT THE HE77 HAPPENED? My DD and her BF think a Bob cat was in the yard...and Ben went up to it and it swiped it..and the greys then went nuts chasing the bob cat. We fashioned a snuggie for a baby and he rode around in at my belly and boobs LOL yesterday. Be breaths much easier. He tells me when he has to poop and potty. He is on REST. Today, I have hope he is going to make it!! Thank you all for prayers. They are WORKING!!! also if you have any ideas...let me know....
