Karen, this was the last update I could find....
My son spoke to the original Vet that treated KayLee yesterday...they ended up giving a refund of $150 dollars which of course every penny counts now. Thomas has ended up staying home with the dog again today due to her serious condition...I have not seen her but have been told that her face has blown up to almost basketball size & she is in much pain. Thomas has pain pills which he is crushing & mixing with chicken broth so she'll get that relief. He said he is mashing her food, and making rice & ground up chicken & hand feeding her as she can barely open her mouth...but she is getting food down & she has been able to drink water. One of the things I found out is that when they were hunting, they were in a deep gully when she got bitten...When he saw her legs buckle, he ran to her (Lucky he didn't get bit too..) & put her on his back & climbed the 2 miles out of that gully carrying her all the way....The Vet told my Son (who is Thomas' father) that Thomas was so frantic when he got there that he could hardly speak & was begging for help...The staff was so defensive because they couldn't calm him down...anyhow, there's more infor....some of which is conflicting with what Thomas' story is...I think he was so distraught that he misunderstood their reactions...but, who knows. The dog is still in very, very bad condition, but the Vet said every day that she makes it through is a good sign...I can only say that my Grandson absolutely loves his dog & is the most important thing in his life right now. He has been through some really hard times & then this happens...Thank you for any prayers offered.....
