Emer-G-Med paramedics save puppy that was run over
Thank you to ZSS security who also assisted and stayed with Rexy until we arrived
Paramedics from Emer-G-Med went out of their way this afternoon to help a young dog that was run over by a car in Lombardy East.
At around 1.40pm paramedics heard of a young dog that had been knocked over and appeared to have sustained fractures to both front legs.
The puppy was knocked over on the corners of Marlborough Avenue and Wordsworth in Lombardy East.
M07 and RV01 were immediately sent to assist. Upon arrival they found the pup that had sustained bilateral fractures to the front legs with large open wounds.
One of the hind legs was also injured. The puppy was given morphine for the pain and the wounds were cleaned and both front legs splinted.
Once the pup was made comfortable, EMER-G-MED transported little Rexy through to Fourways Vet where a kind woman offered to pay for the vet bills. It was also confirmed the pup had biliary.
“We wish Rexy a speedy recovery. Rexy’s owners were worried about their pup. Rexy will be returned to them once discharged from the vet, Emer-G-Med said on its Facebook page.
“Thank you to ZSS security who also assisted and stayed with Rexy until we arrived.”
