> Hi, My name is Amanda Mouradian, DVM. I work at an emergency clinic

> male weimaraner puppy after it was attacked by a pit bull on the
> head. The right globe was proptosed and the jaw was fractured. The
> family could not afford treatment for the puppy and requested
> euthanasia. I decided to take responsibility for the dog to treat
> its injuries until it could be placed in a home or with Weim
> rescue. I cannot keep the dog as a pet in my home. The dog had
> surgery today- enucleation, neuter and I wired his jaw closed to
> stabilize the fracture site. I also placed a feeding tube. He is
> awake and will be ready to go to a foster family tomorrow. He has a
> good prognosis for complete recovery from the jaw fracture. If he
> is fostered in Houston, we can provide the follow-up care for the
> jaw fracture, but we do not provide vaccines or heartworm prevention.

> Please contact me as soon as possible so we can get him out of the
> ER cage and into a home.
