A neighbor down the street found my puppy lying in the road and read the tag and brought her home to me. He said she lifted her head when he approached, and then she put it down and he said "it looked like she died" but he moved her out of the street and onto a grassy patch. Someone essentially hit my dog and then took off.
I grabbed a blanket and my bf went to get her. She seemed dead in his arms, but then all of a sudden she gagged, gasped for breath, and her mouth was moving. She writhed and started gagging and her eyes rolled into her head so we immediately ran to the vet down the street from us. She is so, so tiny...only 6 pounds at 10 months old and she literally squeezes through EVERYTHING and escapes.
The vet saw her before I even got the car parked, thank God. She is now breathing on her own with a strong heartbeat, but she was coming in and out of a coma. I think it's a good sign that she is breathing. They said that she has no signs of broken bones but they don't know if she may be neurologically damaged since she had no response when her toes were squeezed. (I think it may just be the fact she's not responding.) Her head was all crushed-looking and lumpy but it turns out it was bleeding on the skull which can be reduced. So she is in ICU and I miss her so much.
My dad keeps telling me it's my own bad karma because "I touched someone else's dog." The other day a dog jumped into my car and started loving me up after it ran in front of my car on a country road...it looked like it belonged to someone, but we couldn't find them so we brought her home and tried to return her to her owners 2 days in a row...but we DID return her to her thrilled owners. He keeps blaming me for my dog's misfortune. I am so sick to my stomach right now.
