Chevy’s HIT AND RUN injuries

My best friends sweet baby boy, Chevy, got hit by a car Sunday evening. Despite this, he is a champion. He survived with only a concussion and minor cuts and scrapes. He was banged up pretty good and in shock for a day. He has neurological damage to his front leg which makes him unable to walk right now.

Surgery is possible but worst case scenario, he will require amputation. This poor baby has already been through so much as a puppy and because of that, resulted in him being a little slower and challenged. Despite all he’s been through he has came out on top. He’s such a trooper and is staying so strong right now.

I can’t stand the fact that someone would hit him with their car and not help him or do anything! I could never stay silent on that. People suck.

***UPDATE***

Chevy seems to be in better spirits! Not so much confused but more sad that he isn’t able to do his basic stuff. He is able to stand up and shift himself around on his own but still on bed rest so not walking (that doesn’t stop him from trying and tumbling over) His balance is still off but getting better. I feel him shifting a little weight into his bad leg!! It’s at about 10% function but of course needs more time to tell.

Yesterday he was moving it in his sleep.

He’s eating is almost back to normal. Both eyes are back to function (not sure how well but he is following Krystal’s fingers). He’s following basic commands. He’s responding to names and whatnot. Barking when someone knocks. Still having trouble getting him to use the bathroom on his own but other than that I’m so very proud of how resilient he is and how hard he tries! He will literally fall on his face and get right back up and try again. Please keep praying bc it’s working!!!

***ONE WEEK UPDATE***

Chevy Boy started these twitches a few days ago, mostly in the injured arm. He’s still taking gabapentin and Carprofen for pain. He finally pooped outside after a whole week! He’s peeing more on his own.

He had a follow up exam and X-rays today and the vet believes he has a BPI (Brachial Plexis injury) where he has torn nerves in his shoulder/armpit area. He has about 3 more weeks to heal on his own or theres no likely chance for recovery.

My best friend is waiting on a referral to the neurologist to see what’s next. His bad leg is not total dead weight so I believe there is still hope left!! Please continue to pray!!
