Shiloh with Room-mate at ER

You can see Shiloh in the cage, and the burned dog checking her out.

Shiloh is still in critical condition. 24 more hours and maybe we will have a clearer idea of the damage she sustained... bite our nails. It is a torture to watch her, waiting and hoping and you feel like you can do nothing. Every time the phone rings I jump out of fear for bad news.
What is happening?

This afternoon I took the children and visited her. She looked at us when we entered the room but it was like she looked right through us. She responded to noise but nothing like recognising us, no whimpering like the other sick dogs did when they saw us. No wagging tail. Nothing!
I feel like she is not going to be herself anymore, but I pray to God that I am so wrong.

They took her out to see if she could stand up, but she just fell on her head not able to support her left shoulder. Again, no sound at all just like a zombie. I started to cry.

Tomorrow afternoon they are going to x-ray her again.

Please think of her and send Amore!

The picture shows one of her roommates. The dog doesn't have any ears, no fur just pink new skin with a huge bruise on her side. I couldn't help asking what had happened to her, she reminded me strongly of Capri, our (new)dog. The nurse told me that this dog had been there since February, some children had put her on fire!

Amore mi!

We send you a lot of Amore!

TACK för att du uppdaterar här, vi kollar ofta hur Shiloh mår..

Kunde det inte handla "bara" om hjärnskakning, eller minnesförlust/chock efter trauma? Människorna kan ju vara väldigt förvirrade och apatiska första dygnen efter olyckan. Tiden visar ju men vi tror starkt på och hoppas på det bästa.

LOTS of hugs and Amore!

Thanks three B's for your Amore and hugs, will tell Shiloh that she has a team that tells her to get well.

I will post more tonight. Still keep your thoughts and paws for her. She is still in danger! A new xray this afternoon.
