 This little Dachsie/Pug mix boy was hit by a car, and left with a badly broken distal radius(right front leg)and a fractured jaw. Most shelters don't have the funds that it would take to help this little guy, so DRNA gladly stepped up.
Little Taz was soon whisked away to Pineview Veterinary Clinic where he had surgery for his broken leg. A special plate had to be ordered to repair the fracture. X-rays revealed that the break in his jaw was clear back near the joint and nothing surgically can be done for that. Taz did have his muzzle taped and immobilized so it could heal on it's own. But the little stinker had the bandage off by morning. Hopefully with just a diet of very soft food, his muzzle should have no trouble healing. The plate, screws, splint, IV fluids, hospital stay, x-rays and now his special food, all cost plenty of money. And we know times are tough right now for everyone, but if you could spare a little bit for Little Taz, we would greatly appreciate it. Please check back for updates. THANK YOU. |
