Nyla was hit by a car and then dumped at a vet hospital . . . Now she is a Lucky Dog!

Nyla is a beautiful 1 yr old yorkie mix who thought she had a great life -- until her owner took her for her first car ride and didnt tie her in! During the ride, she got scared and jumped out the window!! While trying to catch her, the owner ran over Nyla with the car, getting into an accident with another car at the same time.

Nyla was taken to the emergency room with with multiple hip fractures. The vet recommended surgery to repair the hips or conservative therapy (crate rest) while the fractures healed on their own. The owner declined all of the options and was going to euthanize her.

So the vet hospital didn't want to put her down so they asked Lucky Dog for help. She had surgery on Friday, 7/8. She will likely walk funny, but she will function just fine as a little dog. She had a urinary catheter in place for 5 days in hopes to repair any urinary lacerations that may have occurred from the trauma. The urinary catheter was just pulled, and she seems to be doing well. She is eating now and seems to be happy, knowing that Lucky Dog gave her a second chance.

Lucky Dog needs to raise money to cover Nyla's surgery. Please consider a donation today!! And, click here for more information on Nyla (including how to adopt her!)
