MaggieDog Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Sorry if you see this multiple times - I'm crossposting to get the word out. I know how powerful good vibes and prayer can be. Maggie got hit by a car tonight. She was chasing a rabbit, ran under a fence, and was hit and rolled by a car. The car stopped long enough to let her run out from under, but then continued on!!!!! Luckily some good samaritans stopped and took Maggie and I to the vet. She was started on fluids to combat shock and xrayed. They thought there might be a possible diaphramatic hernia, so we were sent to the Purdue small animal clinic. They re-examined her, did an EKG, and checked the xrays. They think she escaped major injury (they doubt there's a hernia), but will keep her overnight for observation. She is currently stable and under great care, but not out of the woods yet. The next 24 hours are critical! I'll talk to the vet student in charge of her case tomorrow and find out when I can visit/take her home. Keep her in your thoughts everyone - she's a special girl. I'll update as i can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlasl Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I am so sorry, that is just awful, I saw my childhood dog minutes after he got hit by a car and it was horrible. I hope Maggie has a full recovery, it sounds like she is in good care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea4th Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Geez. I hope it's all precautionary and she'll be good as new soon. In the meantime, you hang in there. I know it's going to be a sleepless night for you. I'll be thinking of you and your Maggie, and looking for updates. Good vibes coming your way.

Dixie_Girl Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Prayers for you and Maggie. Sounds like she was a very lucky girl. Glad she didn't get worse. What a jerk that person was! I mean, jeeze, at least see if you could help with a ride or something! Thank God for the person who did get you and Maggie to the vet. Hope that person that hit her gets 3 flats on the way home! And no one stops to help them! Well, enough of that boil on the a$$ of society! Keep good thoughts, try not to worry too much. It sounds like she is in very capable hands. Let us know tomorrow how she is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Oh my gosh! My thoughts are with you and her tonight. It sounds like she'll be okay, I just hope their observation is just due to caution and she'll be fine. That is just too scary! And the driver who drove off should be kicked in the ass. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitch Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 OMG, this is my worst nightmare. Sending good thoughts your way. You know how vets/doctors are - they like to err on the side of caution (and rightly so), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she escaped with nothing more than a new-found, healthy respect for cars. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileyzookie Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 You guys are definatly in my prayers!!!! If it makes you feel any better, a friends boyfriend ran over his dog on accident (she ran behind him). He took her immediately to the vet and they advised to put her down. He couldnt, they did surgery and she is now beginning to walk again. This was only about 2 months ago! She had severe injuries andis already walking. I pray Maggie makes a huge recovery just like this other dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
