❗️Dixie’s current condition❗️
‼️WARNING‼️ pictures may be graphic in nature
Dixie’s still in critical condition, her kidneys are in failure right now and her levels aren’t decreasing, they are worried about the third degree burns turning into an infection and causing it to go to her blood stream. We do have the option to put her on dialysis to see if that will help improve her kidneys, unfortunately the cost is very substantial and something we can’t afford. We decided to have them give her a surgically placed feeding tube in her stomach and that could potentially help with kidneys by getting food into her. If she does make it through all of this Dixie will loose both ears, her eye lids will need surgery/ reconstruction and if the surgery doesn’t go well they might have to remove both eyes. If the skin under the third degree burns on her abdomen isn’t good skin they will have to do a skin graft. ♥️
Hoping and praying that she will pull through all this, Dixie will never be the same they said if she does pull through she will likely only be 60-80% of what she use to be, but that is a long shot.
Please keep praying, we would love to bring her home and still have her be a part of our family no matter what condition she is, as long as she does not suffer any more than she already has.
We appreciate you all for your concerns, love and kindness. Vet bills are adding up quickly, we are more than grateful and so blessed with everyone’s donations and support through out all of this it means the world to us.
