Its been a very stressful week for my husband & I our beautiful 2 1/2 year old Jack Russell Gwen was a attracked by a 90 Lb Pit bull when my husband walked her to the mail box to check our mail . My husband was trying to do the husbandly duty by walking the while I was recovering from having my tubes Tied , I was on day 3 day of my recovery , I was laying in bed , which is where I was suposed to be , when the neighbors 15 year old daughter comes & bangs on the door , she tells me that my dog has been attacked , my husband is down at the mail box , holding our dog , screaming his head off , screaming for some one to dial 911 , I run into the house & grab towel to put over the Gwen , because she was bleeding bad , apparently my husband had bit by either Gwen or the pit bull . I then ran back inside grabbed my phone & dialed reach animal hospital , from there I warmed up the car , grabbed all of our stuff did my best to get Gwen in the car with out hurting her more , it was a challange to pick her up , because she was bitting me pretty good, simply bcause she was hurting so bad . The sherif department showed up along with animal control & banaged Gwen up enough so she would make over to animal hospital . From there my husband drove like bat out of hell , once we were at the hospital , I had to fill out a credit care papers because Gwen's insurence only covered $200 , & it was going to require more than to fix her , I got approved for $2600.00 credit care card , Gwen had to stay over night & had to have surgery , the doctor needed to do exploritory surgery to make sure she didn't have any internal bleeding or damage to her organs , from there hubby had to go the hosptial to get his finger looked at & stitched up , we didn't get home until 3 am , by the time we got home & took our medication we were completely exhausted , Finally at 8 am the vet hospital called us & let us know that Gwen was doing great, she told us that there was no internal bleeding , no internal damage , no organ damage & that she had put a drain in & that she had to give her lots of pain medication & that we could come pick up her any time we wanted . Hubby & I slept for a while longer & then we picked our Gwen up In he afternoon . The first night after surgery was very rough , our Gwen whined & cried , hubby had to end up going back to hospital for stronger pain medication , we did pain medication & antibotics 4 days , after that Gwen became too smart & very difficult & wouldn't eat & would take the antibiotics she needed , so we ended up taking her back the vets office , from there they ran a blood panel , turns out she was fighting off an infection , she didn't have an infection but she was fighting off one & was a little dehydrated , so they grave her IV Fluids , an antibotic shot that lasts for 14 days , took her drains , in order to do all this they had to sedate her just so they could handle her , they also replaced her pain patch with a new one , when they took her drain out , alot of fluid cam out . Since we have been home she has done much better , she has eaten a bit better , she has pottied better , she has had some diarrhea , she has peed , yesterday she drank a little water & ate like she couldn't get enough , but today she only ate this morning , didn't eat all the rest of today , then this evening she finally had a poop , then hate some gram crackers & some chicken , The vet told me to feet her chicken , with rice & chicken broth , this evenig when I called back & told then that she was hasn't really been wanting to eat anything , they told me to not give her antifamitory pill , try walking her more & see if she wants the gram crackers with some chicken , I did that right after she had a pooop & she ate & drank some water .. I have already filled out papers ready to sue this ass hole whom owns the pit bull whom is repsonsible for this , Gwen's medical bills are well over $2000.00 & when this does go to the court this ass hole with have to pay every bill of this back or else he will go the jail . I have pictures of all of this & I have every bill , he will not get away with is , I have to get justice for my Gwen , somone has to speak for her . My poor husband bless his heart , he hasn't slept in days, every time I have gotten up , he has gotten up , his nerves are complete shot , his anxiety is out the roof , thankfully my husband saved Gwen's life , he is the one whom punched the pit bull 3-4 times in order to get the pit bull to release Gwen from his grips . My husband has been so good through all of this & through this we have become a lot closer , This comming Wednesday Gwen will get her staples out & her cone off & my husband will get his stitches out his finger ..
