Update on the dog
Well, yesterday we thought that the dog I picked up on the road was all right. Today, it turns out that the vets still don't know if he's going to make it or not.
He was already weak when he got hit by a car (he's very thin), and it seems that he had a lung haemorrhage when I found him, which, thankfully, seems to have stopped. He has still a very big bruise on his head, and they don't know if the skull was damaged. He walks, but with difficulties, and ate a bit today. The problem is that even if the skull is all right (wich could be the case because he was conscious and interested in his environment when I found him), he'll have to heal from the lung damage and avoid pneumonia.
Well, our vet friend goes to the clinic tomorrow to see him and on Monday they say we'll know if he can make it or if it's euthanasia.
You know, it's not even a dog I knew. But I didn't find any owner, and even if I did, well. I held him, and felt him breathe, and his heart beat under my hand... And well it's terrible how quickly this creates a link. I really wish he lives. It feels only fair, you know?
So please excuse me if I don't answer your comments on the first dog post individually just now. It feels difficult to do so while I don't know what's going to happen, you know?
