Timeline: My clinic is considered an emergency clinic and today we had an epic one. Pet Sitter calls stating the pet she was watching just got ran over by the UPS truck. A Pomeranian to be exact.
Pomeranian small then UPS TRUCK
Stated pet was still alive but coming over now. About 10 mintues later we get the pet in our hands and OH MAN. This. is. BAD. Major sedation, Trachtube, 2 cathaters and fluids started. Epinephrine down. Vitals not the best at all. Now what? What do you do with a pet that half of its body was DEGLOVED (which an extensive section of Skin is completely torn off the underlying tissue, severing its blood supply)
Unfortunately after 45 minutes the pet didn't make it- the trauma was just too much for his young, little body.The parents said their child was walking the pet and he shuck out of his collar to chase after the truck ( a recently new habit)Discussion: So is the child at fault. the parent for not tightening the collar enough or the pet sitter who let the child walk the dog?
Future: Moving to the new apartment this weekend- so much to do in 2 days .
