Cang dog was hit by car, fractured, lay down in blood for more than two hours and was euthanized

[Animal News]When you see an injured animal that needs support, please take action if you can. Relying on others to rescue may delay the rescue time. After the 10-year-old warehouse dog “Xiao Huang” was run over by a car yesterday and was seriously injured, although enthusiastic citizens put several ice cream cones beside him and asked for help from different animal agencies, Xiao Huang lay down in a pool of blood for more than two No one sent him to the hospital for hours, until Mao Shou Kent arrived following completing another rescue operation at 7 o’clock in the evening, and saw Xiao Huang lying on the scene alone enduring the pain. Kent took him to the veterinary hospital, but Xiao Huang’s injuries were so serious that it was eventually decided to euthanize him. Kent admitted frankly to this newspaper that his injury may not be cured even if he was sent to the hospital earlier, but he felt very sad that the dog suffered like this for more than two hours.

Xiao Huang is a warehouse dog living near Ping Ha Road in Lau Fau Shan. Kent received a call for help at 4:00 pm yesterday, saying that Xiao Huang was run over by a car and the vehicle that caused the accident ignored him. However, he was conducting another rescue operation on the mountain at that time. Unable to go there immediately, I asked the person seeking help to contact other animal institutions for help.

Until 7 o’clock last night, Kent completed the rescue work on the mountain, but found that Xiao Huang had not been rescued, so he rushed to the scene. He said: “I was shocked by that scene. I saw him lying on the ground with a dog covered in blood. Some kind people surrounded him with 4 ice cream cones to prevent him from being run over by a truck. But there was no one in the field at that time. , his dog worked so hard for more than two hours and was not rescued.”

Kent said that it is known that the person seeking help has contacted several animal groups but did not respond. He admitted that this reflects the difficulties of animal rescue in Hong Kong: “When you see this dog, you know that the medical expenses are at least hundreds of thousands, and there is a high chance that it will be paralyzed. , it is not easy to find someone to take care of.”

He sent the dog to the CityU Animal Medical Center, but the veterinarian found that Xiao Huang was in a very serious condition, not only the pelvis was broken, but also pneumothorax, and the nerves in the hind limbs did not respond at all. Even if the operation was successful, the hind limbs would be paralyzed and unable to defecate on their own In the end, Mao Shou agreed to let him die.
