Our Sweet Broken Boxer Margarita

A car accident and an energetic doggy are a potentially tragic combination.
Fortunately for Margarita she was saved by the intervention of rescuers that took on her care and contacted us to consider taking on her case.

 

Margarita the day she was brought to The PRC. Can you see the make shift splints her former family has on her legs?  Crude, but ingenious.  Her former owners have relinquished her  because they could not afford the surgery costs to repair her injuries after being hit by a car.  They had tried to euthanize at their vet and her case was taken on by Boxer Rescue and networked to us.  She is safely with us now.  

Margarita's Xray showing her broken legs :( 

Four days after her surgery she is walking like a champ.  The staff said she sounds like she has high heels on when she walks.  She is a fancy gal.  

I took her outside for a little photo shoot and she was quite a ham. 

She has been shaved where her surgery was and where they place her pain patches.  

Now does this look like she is a girl w/ 2 broken legs. 

So far she is doing great!  We are still fundraising for her care.
She will need 6-8 weeks of rehabilitation and follow up X-rays. 

I will update Margarita's condition as she heals.  Thank you to all who helped make her surgery possible.
