My Landlords dobermans tried to kill my toy poodle puppy and she is fighting to not lose her leg right now.
On the morning of October 9th I was playing in my yard with my 6 month old puppy. Suddenly my Landlord's dobermans ran up to my fence and grabbed Navi. They pulled her through the fence and began attacking her. I ran to the fight and was able to pull my 7 pound puppy from the mouth of one of the dogs as she was being shaken like a rag doll.
These dogs had every intent to kill my puppy.
Luckily, I was able to get her away from them before they succeeded.
Navi is currently sedated at my veterinarian while they do radiographs of her entire body and will be transferred to a specialty surgeon this afternoon. She has an open fracture where her leg bone is protruding through the skin, punctures and tears across her legs and chest from where the dobies tried to rip her apart, and the extent of her internal injuries are unknown.
I have already given all of my emergency fund to my vet, but it will likely cost up to $10,000 more to save her leg as the severity of the injury means amputation would be even riskier.
