One of our rescuers recently received a call from a friend that works at a local emergency vet clinic. 4-year-old Pomeranian Cream Puff was brought into a local vet clinic after being attacked by her family’s larger dog. Cream Puff’s injuries were extensive. She had multiple puncture wounds on her throat, and her jaw was severely damaged. Cream Puff's owners loved her, but they couldn't afford the estimated $8 - 10,000 vet bill, so they requested that she be euthanized. While the clinic prepared the paperwork, one of the vet techs called a dog rescue friend and asked if she could save this otherwise healthy, sweet-tempered girl. The rescuer called us, and we couldn't stand to see Cream Puff put down, so we said yes. Cream Puff is a very special girl. Despite all the pain she had to be in, she quickly became a favorite with the staff of the clinics that she was brought to. While waiting for hours to be seen by the emergency vet, she nudged hands for pets and gave kisses. Cream Puff's injuries were extensive. She went to three emergency vets. The first one cleaned the gashes and puncture wounds on her throat and head. The second gave her more liquid meds for pain. Finally the third vet was able to assess and x-ray her jaw. Her jaw was broken in a complicated spot. The surgeon was able to repair the break with a plate. CP is expected to recover completely. We are a small rescue transport. We don't have a lot of supporters or financial backing. We operate completely through donations and keep our expenses low. Although this expense is astronomical for us, Cream Puff is so worth it! Hopefully, she'll soon bring joy to a family.
