Your contributions to our fund continue to help needy animals. Although numerous animals were helped by your generosity this period, I would like to feature two of them. Annie, pictured here, is a 9 month old Calico cat that was brought to us after she was hit by a car. We were unable to locate an owner. Annie had both front legs broken, the tendons on one back leg severed, and severe trauma to one eye. Dr Levinstein spent 4 hours in surgery putting pins in the broken legs and suturing the tendons. Frequent medications in the eye saved it although she has no sight in it. Today she scampers happily around her new home with only a slight limp and odd looking eye as reminders of her lucky escape.
Cisco is a two year old male cat that came in with extreme distress due to a urinary blockage. Such a blockage can be fatal if left untreated. Our doctors cleared the blockage once but it reoccurred. In such a case, surgery is usually the only option. Our doctors operated on Cisco to permanently widen his urethra, making reobstruction less likely. After a difficult recovery, which included placement of a feeding tube, he is doing well.
