SHE HAD HER FIRST SURGERY!

Merryn was locked in a shed nursing eleven puppies when she was brutally attacked by another dog who was also nursing puppies and locked in the same shed. Her injuries were horrific. For reasons we cannot understand, she was then left without proper medical care for nearly 4 weeks. Merryn had lost the use of both back legs and had trained herself to walk using only her two front legs to avoid pain.

When Merryn arrived at Wright-Way Rescue she had life-threatening infection throughout her body. The bones in her jaw and legs were broken in many places and she was suffering from severe infection.

Despite this, we have never met a dog with such a strong will to live. We are thrilled to report that Merryn recently the first of multiple life-saving surgeries she will require! Part of her infected jaw, which had exposed and dying bone, was removed. She also had her rear left leg amputated. After spending time in the hospital, Merryn has now been released to the care of a trained medical foster where she is recovering. She is doing so much better than we could have anticipated!

Merryn will require at least one additional surgery, possibly two. They are being staged to ensure her safety and well being. Eventually we hope that she will be a candidate for a wheelchair. You are making her miraculous rescue possible and we could not be more thankful.
