My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A Good Samaritan found this sweet girl at the side of the road in Hialeah, Miami hit by a car. She was clearly hurt and could not move, screaming in pain and incontinent. She was rushed to an emergency vet and found to have left pelvic, hip and femur fractures. She was not microchipped and we think most likely she has been an outside dog. She has calluses, oil on neck from being under car, filthy and horrible stink, horrid teeth that are filed down like she was grinding, and multiple missing teeth. She has fleas and flea dermatitis. We think she is approximately 5 years old, and she is a tweenie/small standard.

After stabilization, we transferred her to our regular vet Pet Calls in Lake Worth where she has been since, getting round the clock medical care. She currently needs IV pain medication/sedation and kept immobile to let her fractures heal as best as possible. After discussion with the orthopedic surgeon, he thought it was best not to operate on her fractures and let her heal on her own, which would take about 8 weeks. The surgery would have cost $5000, and she is at high risk for infection because of her skin condition. He felt she had a better prognosis of recovery without surgery. Zelda has been getting better everyday and recently had her Foley catheter removed and is peeing and pooping on her own. We anticipate she will be leaving the vet and onto a foster home next week. We will have a better idea of her personality then. Stay tuned for PUPDATES on our Facebook page, link below!
