Man what a night!

OU812 So very sorry to hear. I have lost two over the past 6 years. But never to a vehicular accident. Ours have always been spoiled and just like our children. These two poodles we have now I have spent so much time with since being sick it would probably close to kill me. I am praying for a quick recovery and some strength for you. Got to be some broken hearts there.

Dang Curt that really sucks but she is in good shape and young enough she should be back to normal before long. Good luck with that 6-8 week thing especially when she starts feeling better about 4 weeks into it.

Don't know what else to add, seems everything I can think of has been covered by somebody.

[smokeNcanuck]

That's a bad deal, Hope she has a good recovery!

Really sorry to hear this. Hope everything comes out alright for you. I don't have any dogs, we have 3 indoor cats that were strays, and one outdoor cat. I get real uptight  and worried when the outdoor one doesn't come around at for feeding time.

Oh man, Curt I am very sorry to hear this.  I hope she gets well soon.  I went through the same thing with Cassius when he was 1 1/2.  We were at the softball field and he was chasing a ball.  A Ford Ranger came around the corner of the parking lot and as I stepped out to stop the truck she swerved right as Cassius was coming back. Luckily she was only doing about 15mph.  She hit Cassius and stopped but had his leg pinned under her left front tire.  I was actually trying to lift the truck (adrenalline) because she couldn't get the stick shift truck in reverse.  Cassius bit my hand (the only time in his life that he bit me)  Once she got the truck in reverse (maybe 15 sec. but at the time seemed like forever) Cassius walked a few feet and it didn't look like anything was broken.  I picked him up put him in the back of my Expedition and m friend drove us to the Vet.  That is when I saw the big cut on his back leg and could see bone.  The ER Vet got him stable, put an IV in, took x-rays (negative) and bandaged him up so I could get him home for the night and take him to my vet in the morning.  I laid next to his cage all nite. (I never slept)  The next morning he went to the vet and got over 100 stitches.  There was one part on his foot that couldn't be stitched because there was just no skin there.  After about 4 or 5 weeks of changing bandages Cassius was just fine.  No ligament damage and no arthritis later in his life.  A funny thing about the bite mark on my hand, it did not finish healing until Cassius was all healed up?!?!?!? 

Anyway my point is the the vet said that the he should heal just fine because of his age.  So I just hope that the same is true for JD.  I know your going through a rough time right now, but I know your are doing everthing you can to make her comfortable and JD knows it to.  She will be ready to run around and play way before you are comfortable letting her.

Real sorry to hear about the puppy when we spoke this afternoon.  Not much I can say Curt other than keep giving her good care.  The young ones, human or otherwise, are pretty resilient.  She'll come back.

BTW, love the hair!

Dang, Curt... That's just gut-wrenching. 
Sure hope she heals up ok.  Good to see she's eating. 
We'll pray for her.  Hang in there.
