Help Ashleigh Care for Brave Baby Kai

On Sunday, September 22nd, Ashleigh’s sweet baby Kai was brutally attacked by a German shepherd while playing in the backyard at her grandpa’s house. The German shepherd next door stuck its head through the fence and pulled Kai through to the other side. Despite how quickly Ashleigh jumped the fence and rescued Kai, the damage to Kai’s little body from such a big dog was devastating and horrifying. Kai was rushed to an emergency vet where she received stitches down her chest and abdomen, around her neck, and on her legs to put her skin back together. Kai spent that night at the emergency vet and all day the next day at her regular vet. She finally got to return home with Ashleigh on Monday. Kai and Ashleigh’s recovery will be a long one. Kai will require constant supervision and care, and daily trips to the vet as her body heals. Along with the existing medical interventions, Kai will need additional surgeries to close her wounds as her skin dies. The first surgery is next week and the following ones will be determined as her healing process continues. It is truly a miracle that Kai survived this attack.

Anyone who knows Ashleigh knows Kai as well. Kai is truly is her baby and Ashleigh is devastated about this tragic event, but Ash will do whatever it takes to help Kai get better. Ash will likely miss a great deal of work caring for Kai, and of course, will now have many medical bills as the wonderful staff at Birkdale Animal Hospital work to get Kai back to her healthy self. Please show your support for Ashleigh and Kai as they navigate this new journey back to health together.
