Help mijn lieve Khaleesi om te leven

Help mijn lieve Khaleesi om te leven..

English below

Op 10 juni 2020 heb ik afscheid moeten nemen van 13 jarige Eowyn, Khaleesi haar 'zusje'. De helft van mijn wereld weg.. Nu ligt de andere helft van mijn wereld op de Intensive Care. 

Op donderdagavond 8 oktober stond de wereld stil. Ik kwam thuis vanuit mijn werk toen mijn stiefmoeder naar buiten kwam rennen; 'Kom snel, Khaleesi is aangereden'. Ik ren naar binnen. Daar lag ze op de bank bij mij vader. Overal zat bloed. We zijn direct de auto ingesprongen om naar de dierenarts te gaan. Toen we bij de eerste dierenarts aankwamen, na 40 minuten in de auto met een schreeuwende en bloedende hond die in erge pijn was, constateerde hij dat haar schedel gebroken was. Hij kon niets voor haar doen. 

We werden doorgestuurd naar de volgende cliniek. Na nog 1 uur in de auto met een schreeuwende en bloedende hond kwamen we aan bij de volgende dierenarts. Zij hebben haar pijnstillers en antibiotica gegeven. Verder konden zij helaas ook niets voor haar betekenen. Ze hebben haar stabiel gehouden voor de nacht. 

De volgende dag hadden we de keuze, haar laten inslapen of haar naar Universiteitskliniek voor Gezelschapsdieren in Utrecht brengen. We hebben haar met een infuus in de auto naar Utrecht gebracht. Nog een rit van 2 uur. 

In Utrecht hebben ze Khaleesi direct opgenomen op de Intensive Care. Ze hebben een CT scan gemaakt om te kijken of ze te redden was. 

Ze heeft een gebroken schedel, 2 hersenbloedingen, een klaplong en wat schaafwonden. Haar schedel is ook gescheurd. Een geluk bij een ongeluk. Haar hersenen zijn opgezwollen en hebben gelukkig door die scheur ruimte gehad om uit te zetten.

Op dit moment heeft Khaleesi tijd nodig. Heel veel tijd om te herstellen. Helaas kost dit erg veel geld. Ze moet 24 uur bewaking hebben en er moeten nog meer scans gemaakt worden. Ook zal ze geopereerd moeten worden. 

De Intensive Care kost per dag €250,-. Dit is zonder kosten van medicatie. 

Een scan kost €1000,- per scan.

We zitten nu al op een totaal van €7500,- inclusief de kosten van de andere dierenartsen en we zijn er nog lang niet.

Help mij alstublieft mijn lieve Khaleesi te redden..

Thursday evening October 8th my sweet Khaleesi got hit by a car. 

We took her to the vet straight away. They stabilized her for the night but couldn't do anything for her. Yesterday we had to bring her to Universiteitskliniek voor Gezelschapsdieren in Utrecht. She is in the Intensive Care unit right now under 24/7 surveillance. 

She has a fractured scull, 2 brainbleeds, a collapsed lung and wounds on her front legs.

She is fighting for her life but there's a long road ahead.

The IC unit is very expensive but I want to do anything I can for her.

Exactly 3 months ago today I had to say goodbye to my beautifull Eowyn. Please help me so I don't have to say goodbye to my beautifull Khaleesi.

Please share this. I would really appreciate it!!

Please help me safe her..

Update 11-10-2020

First if all I want to thank everyone that has donated, shared, liked and commented. I am so overwhelmed with the number of people that are supporting Khaleesi and me. I can't thank you enough!❤

Around 13:00 today Khaleesi showed us a very small sign of life. It was a very very small sign but it was positive. 

She woke up from her coma and was very restless. She tried to stand up. She took out one of her IV's while doing so. The vets had to hold her down so she wouldn't hit her head. She had to do a big poo. (I've never been this happy about poop before). They cleaned everything up and put the IV back in. 

Now this doesn't have to mean anything but it was very unexpected. She does look a little bit more more responsive towards touching and sounds.

Update 13-10-2020

Khaleesi is active and is trying to walk around. They have moved her to a different 'cage' so she can get up. They even took her outside today for a little bit. They tried to feed her as well. As soon as there's any liquid in her mouth, she did swallow it. While this sounds very good it's only a small positive. She is still not reacting to sounds, sight or smell. This could still be because of the swelling in the brain or the concussion. We are hoping that she's showing any signes of improvement on this front in the next few days.

Update 15-10-2020

Today started off with some bad news. I called the vet to check what's going on with Khaleesi. They said she hadn't improved and she stopped swallowing food. The neurologist was going to look at her at the end of the day. We would only continue treating her if there is anything to save but after that news we thought it was the end. 2 hours later I got a call from the vet again. The neurologist looked at Khaleesi and she could see some improvement with her reactions. This is great news. Right after that she managed to eat food from a bowl with a little help. They then took her outside and she went for a pee on her own. 

This means we are going to continue her treatments as she gets a little bit better every day!

We keep our fingers crossed and hope that we can keep her in Utrecht to recover!🤞🤞

Khaleesi is home!

Wednesday 21-10 Khaleesi got surgery to close the wound on her head. The next day I got a surprising call that she was allowed to come home. We picked her up Friday 23-10 after being in the ICU for 2 weeks. There is still a long road to recovery. The probably needs more surgerys over the next few months but she is home❤

She didn't seem to recognize us when we picked her up. She was very scared, cold and so so so thin. When she got home she followed me around. I called her name and she came straight away. At night i started the bedtime routine and she walked straight to the stairs waiting to be carried upstairs.

We are feeding her every 4 hours. She needs medicine 3 times a day. It's like having a new born baby waking up in the middle of the night but it's worth it.

She still needs a lot of medicine, checkups and operations which are very expensive but only time will tell how she will recover!
