Although I am really just a young lady, my hectic young life so far
makes me look much older in my intake picture! I was purchased from a
backyard breeder and by time I was 13 weeks old I was already in my 2nd
home (not including the breeder). I thought I had found my forever home
but, unfortunately, life decided differently!! My mom had me spayed,
with a gastropexy (stomach tack), and even my tail docked (happy tail).
But then my brother and I decided to run into the road and, needless to
say, I was not the lucky one. I was hit by a car!! Unfortunately, after
all my preventative surgeries, my mom could not raise the $5000 that the
Emergency Clinic required quickly enough for my surgery and the option
they gave her was to euthanize me. My condition did not leave her with
much time so she called Harlequin Haven and this time, luck was on my
side. Thankfully, they agreed to take me. My mom and sister made
the 3 hour trip to the rescue and at 10PM on a Friday night we arrived.
Grandma had everything ready for me including a nice bed and food, and
even toys. But at than point, all I wanted to do was sleep to escape the
pain!
Early the next morning I had breakfast, and then I was off to the
vet!! This time the vet clinic x-rayed my leg and splinted it, which
really helped with the pain!! They started making plans for my surgery
on Tuesday morning. Because my leg was not splinted at the first vet
clinic my leg was very swollen and it was important to get some of the
swelling out before the surgery. Finally, I get to rest!!
Update 9/8: Vanna Mae has had her
surgery and her leg has been set. She will spend the night at the clinic
and come home tomorrow afternoon. She will need expensive follow up care
to help with her rehabilitation and recovery to return her to the happy
healthy life all pups deserve. Vanna Mae says "Thank you" to all who
have helped her start her journey. It will be an expensive and extended
trip but she is on her way!
Update 9/9: I am
back at the rescue and sooooo happy to be here!!! Grandma says I need to
rest and let my body heal. And she says I need some meat on my bones!!
Grandma is giving me all the yummy food I need, so that should be easy.
Update 9/10: Well
no doubt I am a puppy and I love to chew!! I also am in the dog house!
Yep I chewed my bandage/cast. Check out my pictures below.
Update 9/11: What
a busy week this has been!! Yeah you guessed it I had to go back and
have a bandage/cast change! I have been to the vets office so many times
I think I know everyone by name!! Dr. Dan my surgeon even came in
to check my leg on his day off! I think I am special, well that is what
Grandma keeps telling me anyway! Check out my new pictures below. Now I
have to go have lunch.
Update 9/14: I am
in the dog house with Grandma!!! My leg started itching so I decided to
scratch it. Oops!! Another $180 a new bandage, splint and cast.
Check out the pictures below!
Update 9/19: I
went to the vet yesterday for what I thought was just another
cast/splint change but I got a big surprise!! The vet removed my
cast and said he was not putting it back on. I am still on crate rest
and leash walks only but because I had so many cuts and scratches from
being hit and the cast was irritating them so we will see how this goes!
It sure feels good having it off!! Of course I still get to wear the
e-collar and I am not allowed to lick the sores!!
Update 10/10:
Sorry I have been enjoying life without the e-collar!! I finally got all
the road rash sores healed and I don't have to wear that stupid e-collar
any longer!! My leg is healing and it won't be much longer, and I can't
wait! Check out my new picture below.
Update 11/30:
Great News!! I am now ready for adoption! I will still need rehab on my
leg but that is just because I find it easier to just not use it.
Updated 5/9: Well I am still waiting
for my forever home!! Where are all the homes that wanted me when I
wasn't ready????
Please can you spare a
few dollars to help the Rescue continue to help me and other Danes like
me? It would be greatly appreciated. Without the Rescue who knows
where we would have ended up!!
Thanks,
Vanna Mae
