Thanks, Pat. I know you're an animal lover as well.

Five hours later and her eyes are normal. It looks sometimes like her leg is swollen and the ribs right above it but when she stands up, everything looks normal. She's had a drink of water and half her portion of food for tonight. So far, so good... although I did have to raise her water and food a few inches; to the footstool on my chair. It hurt her to lean down to the floor to eat and drink.

That's a hell of way to learn respect for cars, but maybe she's learned. I had noticed that she thinks she can walk up to a moving car as if it was a person walking past her. Been trying to teach her to be wary of moving vehicles by saying "Car! Car!" and pulling her to me, but she wasn't getting it. Hopefully, now she has. Poor baby!

Be, only thing I can think of is that her guardian angel took the worst of the impact for her. She's not built with heavy muscle, just a wee bit of "cushion." From what I saw, she should be dead. The car didn't go over her, just hit her, but she went flying into the air and landed on her back. It's a wonder the car behind the one that hit her didn't run her over. Somehow it managed to stop. The person that hit her just kept right on going! Didn't even slow down! I don't understand people like that!!
