Oh my god, this poor little thing. She needs all of your prayers and good vibes. We picked her up today and loaded her into the rescue Jeep which acted as an ambulance. We named her Jessie. We didn't know what happened, all we knew was this angel needed swift help.
We just kept saying is "oh my goodness" "oh my gosh, baby."
Here is the footage from Jessie's freedom ride (below). We took her directly to a specialty vet, as she's going to need around the clock care. They were so kind and welcoming when we arrived. They actually carried her inside as she was too weak to walk. We could just smell the infection in the car, it doesn't look like a fresh wound to us.
She was extremely swollen, pus was coming out of her eye and another wound on her head, and her tongue was hanging out. We're not sure if it's from a dog fight or what, but what we DO KNOW is these wonderful people got her on pain meds, anti-nausea meds, and antibiotics immediately so she was no longer in pain.

The trauma center got her sedated right away and began shaving her and cleaning her wounds. Her temperature dropped under sedation, but it is back up now. Her white and red blood cell counts are low, but her doctors are not surprised by that based on her infection.
Animals break our heart. They are such amazing little creatures who look to us for love and care. Seeing them in this condition hurts beyond words.
Below are Jessie's x-rays. Sometimes we can't see fractures and have to have them pointed out by our clinic manager to us, but we can easily see this. The bone below her eye, her orbital bone, is shattered. Her teeth on the same side are all messed up. Many are broken. Although the trauma is all on one side of her face, she also has wounds on top of her head and behind her ears. It's a mystery as to what exactly happened, but there are no bullet holes. And it does look like bite wounds, but it's odd there aren't any on her legs or other parts of her body. You can even see just how swollen she is in these x-rays. We'll update more in the morning.
For now, she's safe and in wonderful, capable hands.
