“From B2tR - Julee was attacked by an unknown dog on Sunday, Nov 5 and was found outside under her previous owner’s porch. Julee is an outdoor only dog. She was brought to the clinic with severe bite wounds
to the left front leg, and some to the right side of her face and right front leg. Her wounds were cleaned and treated on Sunday night, but infection had likely already set in. Julee has significant necrosis of the skin under the left arm and infection below the skin around the entire arm. The area will require surgical debridement and bandaging with frequent changes for a few days to remove the infection. · She will likely be in the hospital for a week, and then coming back frequently for rechecks and bandage changes as she heals. I am hopeful that we will be able to tackle the infection without losing the leg, but it is still amputation is still a possibility.” - B2tR
