LOST - GSD x bitch hit by car and bolted - Colchester

Frankie, 6 y/o B & T GSD x was hit by a car on her walk tonight and has bolted. She went missing from close to her home in Scarletts Road, Colchester, CO1 2EZ but the police have had reports of a loose dog several miles away so she could be anywhere. Nobody currently knows how badly she may be injured. Owner and half the neighbourhood are out searching and the police and emergency vets have been informed. Frankie is wearing a collar and tag and is also microchipped.

Frankie is a PFK dog we rehomed 3 years ago. Any information or sightings we can be contacted at any time on 01353 777399. If we dont pick up, please leave a message.

Elaine

Will do Doglost tomorrow once I have checked the situation in the morning. At moment I am only getting details via our local volunteer so I will speak to owner in the morning and take it from there.

GSD Found in colchester

Thanks Melissa, will chase it up.

We dont have a current picture of Frankie but this is from when she ws here with us

The report on Alfies lost dogs was a sighting not a finding but it was Frankie and her mum is with her now. Frankie has what appear to be 2 broken legs and is on the way to the vets. Not as good an outcome as we hoped but at least she has been reunited and fingers crossed will make a good recovery. Will update when I hear more.

for a full and speedy recovery.... thank heavens they are reunited

Update from the vets is that Frankie has a badly broken back leg and some nasty lacerations and is dehydrated and in shock but thankfully no signs of any internal injuries. She is on IV fluids and antibiotics and will be stitched up and have the leg set later today once she is rehydrated. The break is nasty and may need a referral for specialist pinning but we wont know for certain for a while. The good thing is that, although nasty, non of her injuries are life threatening so she should be OK.

Thanks to everybody that has helped, crossposted or just sent nice messages. It is much appreciated.

Rachel, what great news that she has been found and can be treated. fingers crossed for a speedy recovery
