Update on Katie, the Great Dane Pup
July 25th, 2008
From Anissa:
Katie will have her leg amputated Friday morning…there are no bones intact enough to save it. She is dragging the other leg due to compressed nerves in her pelvic area because of a thin fracture. Dr. Cook believes with time that should correct itself and if not, they can go back in and clear the calcification around the nerves - so she should regain most if not full use of her remaining leg. They also tested her hearing and she is completely deaf…AND due to the impact of whatever happened (which we may never know), the pupil in her left eye shifted to what is known as Horner’s Syndrome causing her to look down in that eye. She will be seen by an ophthalmologist Friday morning as well to determine if any treatment can be done. These injuries are at least 2 weeks old! I do not know exactly what the total is going to be for her yet. Her doctors will call me tomorrow after her surgery. I will send out an update after I hear from them.
