RANGER UPDATE: THIS SWEET BOY HAS LOST HIS ENTIRE TONGUE! The veterinary specialists, and others who have dogs with this same injury, advise that Ranger must have the desire to live and the ability to adapt to the challenges of life without a tongue. He currently has an esophageal feeding tube to provide food and nutrition while he heals. Today, we were contacted by a wonderful, knowledgeable person who also has a dog whose tongue was tragically ripped out. She gave us a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities that await Ranger and we feel much more optimistic about the possibility of a normal and happy life for him ahead. A key element in his recovery and acclimation to his disability will be a compassionate and patient foster and furever family!
We visited Ranger today and in spite of all he has endured, he remains kind and gentle with many tail wags! Please send all your positive energy his way!
INCOMING! CODE RED! DOG WITH TONGUE TORN OFF! Poor Ranger, a 2 year-old German Shepherd, was a stray being held in a rural shelter and was apparently attacked by a dog in the next kennel. During the altercation, a large portion of Ranger's tongue was ripped out. This injury is life-threatening as dogs and cats without tongues are unable to eat or drink on their own. We could not leave Ranger to suffer in a shelter so we are currently rushing him to Louisville where he will be assessed by our veterinary surgeon who specializes in repairing injuries to the face and jaw. We are hopeful that Ranger can be saved and if a safe protocol for eating and drinking can be established, we will need a caring foster to assist in his recovery.
