I may have saved a sibe
I May have saved my neighbor’s dogs life (I hope).
Yesterday, my husband and I where going to go to a re-build of my church, he is the wielding overseer and we must be there at 7am, so we are leaving at 6:30. As we go out our door we see Charger our neighbors Siberian on the front of their porch. He is an escape artist (that is how my neighbors got him from the pound) anyway; He is just lying there not moving at all. I check his pulse (very weak) check his capillary refill (very white gums) he felt cold, I looked at his eyes (they were doing a rapid back and forth movement I hope someone can tell me what that means.
I tell my DH to call his owner (I knew they where out of town, they where staying at his FIL about 45 min away) he gets a hold of him, my DH says “charger is listless and non-responsive we do not know if he got hit or what” they say that they will be there in an hour.
My DH has to leave so I stay with the poor dog; I decide to get a blanket (A blankie on a sib, that was a first). I preceded to palpate the dog, to determine if it has been hit, in the process I discovered bloody diarrhea on his rear. I look around and find more on the ground; I was thinking could it be parvo or poisoning (knowing he came from they shelter 3 weeks ago). I called my emergency vet and she said to keep him warm tell they get here(they did not have a vet I guess I chose won for them) .I start messaging his legs to get some blood flowing and he started to perk up a bit.
Finally his people get here and grab him up I tell them where to go, the vet is expecting you. They thank me, she is crying, I am crying ,it is a mess, I told them just “GO” .
A few hours later they call me and say, the vet expects rat poison (I guess he got into that when he was out?)And he has internal bleeding, his core temp was VERY low and if I had not been their he would have died (the parents where not going to come back for a few hours later)..
Today I found a Thank you card on my screen, they are soooo grateful today he is stable but he has blood in his lungs ,it still might turn out bad ,but I am hoping for the best.
Thanks for listening.
