UPDATE on Rocky!
The vet called today to let us know that he did well last night and has been eating well. They were hoping to take him out of the oxygen chamber later this evening. They told us he is a sweet, goofy boy who thinks everyone should play with him. He will be staying for further observation as of right now, he will need another chest x-ray in about 7 days to be sure he is healing properly. We hope to have another update later tomorrow.

🚨 🚨 🚨
Late this afternoon, we received a call from one of the amazing veterinarians at Southview Animal Hospital. Rocky, a young GSD, was hit by a car, and needed emergency medical help. We found out that Rocky’s family wanted a great life for him going forward, and decided that the best thing for Rocky was to surrender.
What we know;
Southview Animal Hospital’s amazing staff is working diligently to keep Rocky stable and give him the emergency medical help he needs. They have said that most of his injuries are internal, and he will need at least 48 hours of medical care and will reassess his injuries then while keeping him stable. He is currently in an oxygen chamber because of his very labored breathing, and is being administered IV and oral medications. They are hopeful that Rocky will pull through. That gave us a preliminary estimate of $2000-$3000 for the next 48 hours.
We will give updates as we hear from the veterinary staff.
If you are able to donate to help with Rocky’s medical care, we would greatly appreciate it. Please keep Rocky in your thoughts as the next 48 hours are critical for him.
