On Saturday, June 18,at approx. 8 pm (est) Mr. Greg Edwards visited REACH and arranged for the payment of Pepper's bill...to include whatever care the Vet deems best.
Mr. Edwards actually agreed to cover Pepper's vet expenses at around noon on Saturday, but clerical issues prevented the use of his card over the phone so he drove to Asheville and paid in person Saturday evening.
We thank him!
Pepper is still in critical condition, but she has a chance, which is greatly increased by getting all the care she needs. She did show some signs of improvement early Saturday morning. She raised her head and acknowledged the vet tech a couple of times, but then she had another seizure at about noon, and had to be sedated again. Her pupils are pinpoints and she's being treated for brain swelling, but she's breathing on her own.
The Vet said that there no way to predict an outcome in the case of a severe head injury. This could go on for several days, and then Pepper could either recover completely, with no long term effects....or she could go into a coma and never wake up.
The Raricks would like to thank everyone who expressed concern for Pepper and urged Frontier to help with her care. Since they do not have an Internet connection, the Rarick family asked us to pass along their heartfelt gratitude.
