August 29, 2014 - More good news! :) They were able to close the one large wound today....it has a drain in it that they believe will be removed in 3 or 4 days. She will continue the treatments in the hyperbaric chamber over the weekend. They believe she may be well enough to be discharged on Tuesday or Wednesday! Lily Rose is true to her breed....a very tough and determined little one! :) Oh, and we hear she has all the techs wrapped around her little paw....she has them taking turns holding her. :) Love the care these babies get at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists !! You can donate towards her care at : yorkiehavenrescue THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THE PRAYERS AND DONATIONS!!! --------------------------------------------------------- AGAIN...REPOSTING PREVIOUS POSTS ABOUT LILY ROSE BELOW FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR: August 28, 2014 - Lily Rose is doing well! The deepest wound, pictured below, now has blood flow and will not need any further debridement. It may be closed up in the next couple of days, perhaps even tomorrow! The area of concern on her back end is starting to improve. There is still some questionable tissue up on her back, but that will not be as invasive or difficult to heal if she loses any. Her vital signs are stable, she is eating and she barks for attention and to go for a walk! She looks groggy in her one picture with her toy, Lambchop , because she had just come back from surgery! They are hopeful that she may be able to leave the hospital next Tuesday or Wednesday! To donate to Lily Rose, go to: yorkiehavenrescue Thank you to all who have helped us save this precious girl!!!! --------------------------------- REPOSTING PREVIOUS POSTS FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH LILY ROSES STORY: August 27, 2014 - Lily Rose is coming along. As you can see in the photos she has two dressings and the skin on her back end is still an issue; but we are hopeful! She is eating well and walking and actually went outside today for a potty break! Her blood work continues to improve and her vitals are stable. Her wounds will continue to be treated daily under anesthesia. One of them is quite deep and into the muscle. She also did start the hyperbaric chamber this afternoon and we are hopeful that will help speed the healing process! To donate to Lily Rose, go to: yorkiehavenrescue We have had such amazing response and SO appreciate all of the prayers and donations! Her veterinary costs have increased, but we knew that was going to happen. ------------------------------ FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW HER STORY, REPOSTING PREVIOUS POSTS BELOW: August 26, 2014 - Lily Rose went through her surgery without incident today and she actually ate afterwards which they are very happy about! They removed the obvious dead tissue in the two wounds ... one they were able to close. The other has some muscle involvement and she has a wet to dry dressing which will be changed tomorrow morning. She will have to be anesthetized for that. More than likely on the next day they may be removing more tissue if there is any that is necrotic. They are trying to stimulate the tissues to heal. They did use cold laser on her today and in a few days they are hoping to use the hyperbaric chamber to increase oxygen to her tissues and promote faster healing. There is some concern about the tissues around her tail and her bottom. They are watching that closely. So, all in all, it was a good report today! Many thanks to so many of you who are praying for her and also to those who are donating. We had a wonderful response today and will be posting the amount that we have so far for her on our front page! yorkiehavenrescue YOU ARE ALL AWESOME AND LILY ROSE IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU IN HER CORNER!!! THANK YOU!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are copying previous posts below because Facebook has a way of sending to different people each time. That way anyone who has not seen her story, can catch up below! August 25, 2014 - MORNING UPDATE ON LILY ROSE Lily Rose is being transferred from Internal Medicine to Critical Care at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists . She is still unable to maintain her body temperature and she has one wound that is of great concern. Her vet costs are rising and we have started a fundraiser on our home page for her ( yorkiehavenrescue ). As we know more, we will update. ----------- FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT SEEN HER STORY YET, HERE IS A COPY OF THE PREVIOUS POST: MEDICAL ALERT ... THIS YORKIE NEEDS HELP!! This poor darling was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter today and they reached out to us for help. We have named her Lily Rose. You cannot tell in the pictures, but this is a severely injured and sick pup. She had been attacked presumably by another dog in the past few days and has deep wounds on her back. She has an abcess in her mouth and has maggots in her mouth and also coming from her anus. We took her immediately to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in Houston where she was found to be in so much pain that they are having to anesthetize her in order to evaluate just what is going on with her. Anything you can do to help will be so appreciated! The estimate at this point is $2,000 and if she needs surgery, it is probably going to go up. We will of course update as we know more. We will update here and also on her bio on our website. Donations and prayers are needed! Thank you!
