Manjit Sangha developed sepsis after her dog licked a small cut, leading to a quadruple amputation<\/p>\n
She spent 32 weeks in the hospital, surviving several cardiac arrests and severe complications<\/p>\n
Her family launched a GoFundMe to support her recovery, including advanced prosthetics and physical therapy<\/p>\n
A woman underwent a quadruple amputation after developing sepsis, which doctors believe was the result of being licked by her dog.<\/p>\n
On a Sunday evening in July 2025, Manjit Sangha \u2014 a 56-year-old from Birmingham, England \u2014 had returned home from work and wasn\u2019t feeling well. The following day, her husband Kam Sangha found her unconscious on the couch. Her lips were blue and her hands and feet were ice cold.<\/p>\n
Kam, 60, immediately called an ambulance and Manjit was rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n
“Your mind is all over the place,” husband Kam Sangha told BBC<\/a>. “You’re thinking, \u2018How can this happen in less than 24 hours?\u2019 One minute on a Saturday, she’s playing with the dog, Sunday she’s gone to work, Monday night she’s in a coma.”<\/p>\n Manjit was admitted to the intensive care unit at New Cross Hospital and placed in a medically induced coma. While hospitalized, she went into cardiac arrest six times and medical staff wasn\u2019t sure if she\u2019d survive.<\/p>\n “She’s so strong,” Kam told the outlet. “Every day was like, ‘She’s going to go today,’ but she proved us wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n Doctors determined the former pharmacy worker had sepsis, which they said might have been caused by a lick from her dog on a small cut or scratch.<\/p>\n The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here!

It can lead to septic shock, which is a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs. When the damage is severe, it can lead to death.<\/p>\n Manjit later suffered from disseminated intravascular coagulation<\/a>, a rare and dangerous complication of sepsis that causes abnormal blood clotting throughout the body, according to the National Institutes of Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHer chances of survival were slim,\u201d her family said in a GoFundMe<\/a> post. \u201cWe were told she had only days to live, and if she did survive, she might face multiple amputations.\u201d<\/p>\n Jacob King\/PA Images via Getty<\/p>\n And as Manjit\u2019s condition worsened, surgeons had to amputate both of her legs below the knee, as well as both of her hands, in order to save her life. She also had her spleen removed after developing pneumonia and gallstones.<\/p>\n After 32 weeks in the hospital, Manjit\u2019s health improved significantly and she is now back home.<\/p>\n Her loved ones have created a GoFundMe in hopes of raising enough money for advanced prosthetics \u2014\u00a0which could potentially include robotic hands \u2014\u00a0physical therapy, mental health support and home adaptations to make her living space more accessible.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/77c7af636da76c27699410aa15251a9e.jpeg\"\/)
