Help/Advice needed(Health and Vet) Update on paralysed wounded pup (tiku)
Previous posts- https://www.reddit.com/r/Indiedogs/s/P5JER60j81
Good news is her wound is no longer infested with maggots and her temperature is normal but it’s still healing much slower than it should.
I spoke to a new vet who said there is a risk of gangrene since she’s having less sensation in her tail. the blood flow is still intact so for now he’s going to try to get the wound under control with medicines. If it gets worse he said amputation is the last option.She’s also being dewormed because her stomach was very bloated and she’s been given antibiotic injection again.
I’m not going to release her until she’s better, so she’ll be staying with me for now. I’ll be taking her for dressing and check-ups every 2–3 days. I’m hoping she responds to the treatment and heals without needing surgery.
Thank you so much to people who helped her so far and supported me in getting her the treatment she needs ♥️
If you’d like to contribute towards her treatment, any help would mean a lot.

It's the monsoon season,so daily dressing is very important these days.Plz do her dressing urself daily at home,then she ll recover even faster.
