Heartbreaking stories of abandoned or injured animals are unfortunately common, and Sinead’s story is no exception. Reports came in a few days ago about a dog that had been hit by a vehicle and was unable to move her back legs. It was apparent that she had recently given birth and was likely distressed at not being able to find her puppies. Without hesitation, we took action and rescued the dog, who we named Sinead.
After further investigation, it was discovered that Sinead was either paralyzed or had a broken leg. However, her puppies were nowhere to be found, leading us to believe that she may still be pregnant. We sought the expertise of Doc Pierre, who assessed her and recommended X-rays to determine the extent of the damage caused by the vehicle impact.
The results from Sinead’s X-rays were not positive. Although her limbs and pelvis were fracture-free, she had a fractured spine that had affected her nerves in her hind legs. However, there was a glimmer of hope as Dr. Gama, who conducted the X-rays, believed that laser therapy could potentially aid in her recovery. Therefore, we embarked on an intensive seven-day laser therapy program to give Sinead the best chance at regaining her mobility.
Sinead made impressive progress despite the difficulties she faced. She achieved the ability to perform basic bodily functions such as eating and drinking on her own, giving us hope that her bladder and other bodily functions were not severely affected. She underwent a total of nine laser treatments, resulting in significant improvement in muscle and bone growth. However, her spine remained misaligned, and the possibility of regaining the use of her legs was uncertain.
However, Sinead’s indomitable spirit remained unwavering. She captivated everyone with her sweet and loving demeanor, despite the trauma she had endured. To assist her with mobility, we provided her with a wheelchair, which she quickly adapted to. In fact, she even became an official “office dog” and made herself at home in the office, bringing joy to everyone with her presence.
We continued to provide Sinead with the care and support she needed, including bandaging her legs every morning to prevent sores as she scooted around. Her incredible resilience and determination were inspiring, and we were all amazed by her progress. We even took her and some of our other furry friends to the ocean, and Sinead experienced the joy of the water for the first time, despite her challenges.
Sinead’s journey has been a testament to the power of love, care, and medical intervention. Despite an uncertain future, she has defied the odds and captured our hearts with her unwavering spirit. We are grateful for the support and donations we have received, which have enabled us to provide her with the necessary treatment and care. While we remain hopeful that Sinead will find a loving forever home where she will continue to receive the love and care she deserves, she has already found a special place in our hearts and will forever be remembered as a true fighter who overcame adversity with grace and courage. Thank you to everyone who has supported Sinead on her journey to recovery, and we ask for your continued prayers and well-wishes for this resilient dog. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of animals in need. Please like and share this story to your friends and family to spread awareness.
