    Nick.

    I feel your pain bro'. I got a three legged Viszla that had a run in with a Ford Bronco a few years back. He lost the front leg. I was seriously bummed.

    Dogs are amazing animals. We thought we would lose him twice in the week following the accident, but he just kept on. He also lost some serious body weight during the whole ordeal..

    Keep the faith, and don't worry so much about your dog possibly losing the leg. It's incredible how quickly they adapt to it. A month or two after the accident, I saw my dog hopping across the driveway on two legs, because he had gotten a thorn in one of his rear paws. What a hammer.

    We're pulling for you.

    Animals are tough, even if he loses a leg he will find a way to cope. Nephew had a 3 legged mutt when he was a kid. Even on 3 legs she still ran groundhogs down on a daily basis.

    We are all praying for him
    Best wishes

    Wishing Gregor our best. We know how you feel our pets have a way with our hearts and become members of the family
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the very last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    Good luck

    I think I know exactly how you feel. We always have 40 to 45 adopted street dogs that come with no hair but plenty of worms and whatever. They all become part of the family and loosing one is a horrible experience but compared to what they gave you while with you what is there to say. Good luck.

    Update:

    Gregor made it thru another day although in serious pain. He may get a blood transfusion tomorrow to limit the chance of sepsis (Systemic infection).

    Nick, I'm afraid I can't add much more than what the other folks have already said. Please, accept my most sincere wishes for Gregor and your entire family, so that this whole incident has a happy ending. True enough, our pets really do become a part of our family and we can only hope and pray for the best. You have that coming from this end!
    Cheers,

    Hi Nick,
    .... Dogs especially have always been a BIG part of my life too. I will pray to GOD for you, Gregor and your family and to allow HIS will to be done.

I will do whatever it takes to help our dog survive. He is a member of our family and will be cared for accordingly.

    I am obviously very sad and just wanted to vent a little. My little girl is constantly asking my wife where Greggy is. My wife told me that our once 100 lb. German Shepard now weighs 75 lbs. If he survives he will need multiple skin grafts on his rear leg to replace all that was lost in the accident.

    Sorry for such a bummer of a post.

    I cant sleep and cannot do anything to help either as im stuck here for another week.

    He is still very much a mess. Infection is under control and he seems to be healing slowly. If most of the pads on his rear leg heal he may be able to keep it. My wife meets with the surgeon on Wednesday to talk about options. The big question is if the leg will be usable or not. It is difficult to get details from my wife because it is so hard for her to talk about. I will be home on Sunday and will be able to see him myself.

    I am hopeful.

    Thanks to all for the kind thoughts.
