A seriously injured dog ends up on the examination table of a veterinary clinic after an accident.
But the story takes an unexpected turn.
A badly injured
dog
is taken
to a veterinary clinic
in Colorado Springs,
USA
.
The medical team saves the
life of
the little
Chihuahua
, but has to amputate one of his legs.
When the dog is supposed to get a new home, things get emotional.
Frankfurt / Colorado Springs - It's a heartbreaking story.
A small
dog
was admitted
to a veterinary clinic
in Colorado Springs, the second largest city in the state of
Colorado
in the
USA
, with very serious
injuries
.
Without really knowing what had happened to the little Chihuahua mongrel, the
vets started
the rescue operation - with a moving outcome.
When the little
dog
, named Jim, was admitted to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) veterinary clinic at the foot of the Rockies, things didn't look good.
The
vets
reacted quickly and suspected that the
Chihuahua
might have been hit by a
car
.
As the clinic announced, he
suffered
serious
injuries
, especially in the pelvic area.
Thus, the
four-legged friend
landed
on the examination table of the chief veterinarian, Dr.
Sue Lynch, who diagnosed the Chihuahua male Jim with a broken pelvis.
"From the moment I saw him with a broken pelvis and so sad, I couldn't believe how cute he was, despite all his injuries and pain," said the vet.
Chihuahua is seriously injured and brought to a veterinary clinic: the vets save the dog's life
The HSPPR medical team in
Colorado Springs
tried everything.
The vets saved the
dog
's life, nursed him and cared for him.
Nevertheless, it quickly became clear that an
operation was
inevitable to fix the broken pelvis.
His injuries were too severe.
According to the clinic, an expert opinion from an animal orthopedist was even consulted.
But that's not all: even after the procedure, the dog suffered from the consequences of its injuries.
The Chihuahua
suffered
severe nerve damage
on its right hind leg in the
accident
.
Dr.
Sue Lynch had no choice but to subject the little patient to another operation and amputate his affected hind leg.
