This is the story of three small animals that came to us in difficult circumstances. Our team of veterinarians had to conduct emergency interventions to save them.
Sully
Sully is a hedgehog who is around a year old. He was brought to us with a major injury to his paw. Despite several treatments in different clinics, his injury didn’t seem to be healing. His guardians had run out of financial resources.
After a few treatments administered by our team, we realized that his paw was necrosed. Because the infection could spread, Sully’s days were numbered. We needed to amputate the paw as soon as possible.
Thanks to our veterinarian team’s expertise and the good care of his foster home, Sully is no longer suffering and is quickly adapting to his new three-legged life.
Lola
Lola the rabbit was barely two months old when she was brought to another shelter. She had been abandoned with a serious fracture to her back paw, the result of an accident. The shelter didn’t have the expertise to save her, so they called us for help.
Our team quickly realized that Lola was no longer able to hop without suffering great pain, and she had a terrible quality of life. As was the case for Sully, amputation was unavoidable.
Surgery, and more specifically anesthesia, are very risky for rabbits. However, everything went well for Lola. She now lives with her new loving family.
Louise
Found alone on a sidewalk, Louise is a young land turtle who wasn’t doing well. Once we took her under our wing, our team noticed that the turtle had trouble breathing. We wanted to ensure she was in good health, so we sent Louise out for consultation in a specialized clinic.
The expert veterinarian confirmed our doubts: Louise was in severe respiratory distress due to an infectious pneumonia. Her general state caused us to believe that she had been alone outside for quite some time. She needed to start receiving treatments as soon as possible.
Thanks to daily treatments and our team’s reactivity, Louise is now on the path to healing.
We need your help: saving the life of a small animal is no less costly, and certainly no less important, than saving a cat or a dog’s life. Help us save even more animals.
