Lemon : "bite and run victim"
Donation protected
So, as some of you might know me, you know that Lemon means the world to me.
She is my best friend.
I do everything to make her happy, comfortable and healthy.
Well, you can imagine my heartache when, 2 weeks before Christmas, on a Sunday evening while I was preparing supper, my bf came back from a calm walk in the neighborhood and opens the door with bloody hands. (!!)
Some dog owner had his dog loose in the public park. While walking Lemon, like every other day around the area, that dog saw Lemon, bolted for the fence and when it saw an opening, it ran, crossed the street and went straight for our dog. Growling and biting. The owner had no recall power on his dog. My bf kept screaming at him to run and grab his dog, while backing away, and trying to protect Lemon. And Lemon trying to protect my bf.
While trying to protect Lemon and pulling at the leash and backing away, Lemon got bit in the bum at multiple occasions. Yup, that soft tissue got pierced pretty deep too.
*The next day, on painkillers.
My bf got bit trying to separate the two. And when the owner finally got a hold of his dog, and saw my bf's bloody hands, he said he was sorry and ran away. (!)
So, I inspected our trembling dog and saw a few lesions and thought I could clean up the wounds and wait until the next day, when the vet offices are open. Nope.
When I lifted her tail to look after my bf said that Lemon had tried to poop and only blood came out, I was terrified at what I saw. We had to go the Vet Hospital, and quick.
*I've spared you the image of her derriere, but I do have the picture.
Hospitalization,
Monitoring in intensive care,
Blood and urine tests,
General anesthesia,
Surgical time at emergency rate (*sigh*)
Fluid therapy,
Antibiotics, pain killers...
We contacted the police the next day, but they pretty much laughed in our faces, very little worried that some 100lbs dog was violent and that it's owner had no control. (Dog kept going back for more, even after it got kicked. ((Moment of panic, Lemon's too heavy to pickup in our arms)) It also shook its head when biting which is a clear hint of aggression.)
Lemon is a big part of my life but I know that I AM hers.
Lemon is a wonderful and affectionate dog. This won't help finding that horrible being but it will help us greatly.
Any amount helps. Especially this time of year...
Sincerely,
Priscilla
