Thanks everyone and prayers did work!!! I just got back from Vet and he will be okay!!! We did the right things by keeping him warm due to shock and controlling this pain. He has a broken pelvis and thought that was terrible but apparently the muscles around it acts as a self-cast? And he has inflammation and sprain to the front leg. I didn't understand how he couldn't use both back legs then the next day, one he could use but not the other at all but it was because that's the side he was hit on and the initially trauma of the incident put him in to sock. We have pain meds to keep his pain under control, but they want to keep him overnight to monitor him and will be released tomorrow. We have to monitor and restrict acitivy for a few weeks (that will be so difficult because he's so big but the vet said he has to be in a cage that is just big enough to restrict too much movement and that he will heal just fine! I'm so relived that he will be okay and that there's no signs of organ damage......honestly I was so happy when the vet said he'd live and heal just fine that I wasn't sure what they were monitoring him for.  I honestly thought he wouldn't live through the first night......man it's like his eyes could speak volumes but the vet said he's a strong boy because apparently shock in animals due to trauma like this can be the worst injury to a dog after getting hit.  Whew!!!  He wasn't ready to leave us, nor where we😢😘❤️💖🐶🐶🐶🐶. Thanks you all for being so caring and thinking of him...means a lot.❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘
