***Update on Buckley Prayers needed

Goodness how awful! Prayers for Buckley from RI.

No info, other to google it on line.

I don't know anything about the condition you described, but I was wondering if there was any update on how things were going with Buckley. What a terrible situation.

Buckley is starting to do better. His was septic but that is now under control. His entire chest has sloughed off and is actually a horrible to see. His neck is starting to slough also, but shouldn't be as severe we hope. We go every afternoon to see him and he was glad to see us today. We had brought some shredded chicken this morning and he ate some of it, so that is a good sign. I stop and bought two more chickens and my husband will take 3 bags to the vet tomorrow morning. He has a very long way to go. He will still has to be debrided under anesthesia and then slowly start trying to connect skin together again. Our wonderful vet said this is the worse case she has seen. Thank you Moesha for asking and please continue to pray for him.

Necrosis can take on different meanings depending on where in the body it is taking place and what the initial cause for creating the condition. Cell death is a normal process that occurs in every living thing. Cells die and then new cell grow to take the place of the dieing cell. The problem occurs when cell death is out of control. Normally cells of the body are dieing but at a slow controlled rate. Cell death will accelerate when the blood supply to a given body part is interrupted for a number of reasons. This can be trauma, infection, radiation fibrosis (scare tissue) and other unnatural occurrences. When cells are dieing fasted than they are being replaced then you have a problem. In the case of a limb that has severe necrosis then you have what is known a gangrene. The solution is to restore a normal blood supply to the effected area so that normal healing can take place. The types of necrosis are to many to discuss in a forum
such as this.

This is a simplistic view of the process of Necrosis. The term can be used
to describe an abcess , a infarction, or an infection where skin or bone dies because infection has interrupted normal blood flow..

Buckley will be in my prayers. Glad to hear he is improving.

Buckley's necrosis was due to the trauma from his injuries which cause the lack of blood supply to the injuries. Jagged tears are very difficult to repair and often there is a lack of adequate blood supply. Our vet explained that this was not a dog fight, but an attack to kill and kill Buckley it almost did. Our vet said today when we went to see him that she hopes to start connecting the remaining tissues back together a small portion at a time. It will be a long process to do this. Buckley was very glad to see us today and acted more like his old self thank God. He is stealing the hearts of all the vet folks with his personailty and how he has handled his treatment. Twice daily baths and cutting off of the dead tissue. Not a peep, a nip at them, just small wags of his tail. Hopefully he will have no set backs and can be back home in a couple of weeks. Thanks for all the prayers.

That's great to hear that Buckley is still making progress. I think about him often. Please keep updating us on his condition when you can. Hugs to you and him.

I pray Buckley continues to improve.

Dare I ask what you are doing about Bono?
