Her Story: Ruby was accidently run over by her owners on Friday 15th May. They took her to the vet the next day. They were told they were facing a vet bill of min £1500 as on Xray she had compound fracters to hip and pelvis. They could not afford this so paid for put to sleep. The practise got £700 from the RSPCA towards the op. We have given £200 and other funds are being raised within the practise. Ruby had a 4 hour operation by an orthopaedic surgeon on Wednesday 20th May in Worthing. She is now resting and will be given hydro therapy and gentle rehab for a week. She is then coming to Terrier Rescue for us to find her her home.

Picked up lovely Ruby today. She is a sweet little girl and travelled very well all the way from Gravesend. She can walk around but must not go up steps or jump up on chairs so we will have to keep a good eye on her.
She has healed quicker than expected and the vet is very happy with her progress.
Will do photos as soon as possible so everyone can see how cute she is. I think we will go swimming next week with Rex so that should be interesting. |

Little Ruby had a good night. She sleeps in her large crate so she does not wander around too much. She has met my 3 other dogs today and one by one they all got on very well. The others know to give her space and she only walks on a lead with me so she is safe from being bumped.
She is a lovely little girl very good with people and other dogs. She seems very happy when you think what she has been through.
She loves finding the sun ray coming through the window and positioning her little body on the floor in it.
She is walking around the house with the 3 others. She must not get on chairs or go down steps as it would hurt her repairs so I keep a very close eye on her.
She uses her leg it just looks stiff as she walks, but much better than I thought it might be. Lovely girl. |

Ruby has had a bad tummy so spend several days in the vets whilst her foster mum was away, just to make sure all was well. Jilly sent this email yesterday..
| Quote: | | Just picked Ruby up from vets. Much better they still think she had an allergic reaction to painkillers. Think she will not need anymore so hopefully will now make a full recovery. Is on some other medicine to help her tummy. |
