Gideon makes the news...again!

Our wonder dog, Gideon, has continued to warm the hearts of so many. We are truly in awe over the number of people who have donated and inquired about his progress. Yesterday, we were interviewed by The OC Register and are thrilled to see Gideon is print today!

Here is the story

Gideon

Check out Gideon on TV!! FOX featured Gideon and Dr. Wheaton (and me) on last nights news. YAY!!

Gideon is doing better each day. However his wound is still very necrotic and he is going to have the dead skin removed on Monday. We all have our paws crossed that he comes through this surgery seemlessly.

This boy is amazing. There is no other way to describe him. Who would sit and tolerate a bandage change to this wound? Here he is just before getting the wound dressed and re-bandaged.

Saving Gideon!

He is safe with us now, but he has a very long recovery ahead of him. It is believed that he was hit by a car and then dragged. He is missing most of the skin on his left side and pockets of skin are missing on his right side. His injury is a few days old and therefore there is a lot of necrotic skin. He is resting comfortably under the care of a wonderful vet team. Dr. Wheaton of Alicia Pet Care Center feels that even though this is the largest degloving injury he has ever seen....that with vet care, patience and a lot of love...we can pull him through! His recovery is going to be a minimum of 6 months. We are grateful for the determination, patience and caring support that Dr. Wheaton and his staff have had with Gideon.
