Ceasar was hit by a car and left for dead. The animal control officers responded to the call and found a very injured animal, the dog had a rabies tag on so they tracked down the owner only to find out she could no longer care for the dog. Fortunately for Ceasar, a volunteer of ours was at the shelter at the time of his arrival. She hung around to find out if they were going to be able to get him help. Once the owner turned the dog over to the shelter, our volunteer knew he would be euthanized, so she took him straight to the vet's office in the hope of helping him. Once the vet had a chance to evaluate Ceasar, they found three fractures on his pelvis. He might have permanent damage to his one hind leg - since no one is sure when the accident actually occured and then the time from that to the time the medical evaluation took place there was some swelling so we are waiting patiently for the body to heal what it can on it's own. With a month of complete crate rest, anti inflamatories and pain meds we will give the body every opportunity to recover. We waited the first few days for him to drink, then eat and eventually have complete use of his bodily functions. Now we just have to sit and wait for his fractures to heal and his leg to come back. If his leg doesn't come back, then the choice has to be made to amputate it. During all of this ordeal he had a great temperment and personality - we have slowly done what we can for him allowing his body to adjust to each step without adding too much stress on him. He seems like a real fighter and deserves the chance. Please keep checking his individual listing where we will keep the updates posted.
