❤️Fundraiser for the sweetest girl❤️
May is a young lurcher who was found abandoned in a field and brought to Swaffham Vets, its believed she had been there for at least a day. She was found in an extremely poor condition, and it was truly distressing to see.
May presented with lameness in her right forelimb and, following further investigation at the vets, they confirmed fractures to both her radius and ulna, as shown in the first X-ray. It was heartbreaking to witness such severe injuries in such a sweet and gentle-natured girl.
We could not bear to see her continue to suffer or consider euthanasia when there was still a possibility of treatment and a chance for her to enjoy a good quality of life. Following discussions with the wonderful team at Swaffham Vets, they kindly agreed to perform the surgery at cost price to give May the very best chance.
Ben, the veterinary surgeon at Swaffham Vets, carefully explained the risks, recovery process, and the options available, including surgical repair versus amputation. During surgery, an incision was made to the radius, bone fragments were removed, and the fracture was reduced and stabilised using pins and screws.
May is now on the long road to recovery, and we remain hopeful for a positive outcome for this brave little girl. She has already shown incredible resilience and continues to receive the care, comfort, and support she deserves.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in helping May, especially the team at Swaffham Vets, for giving her the opportunity of a brighter future.
As a sanctuary, we rely entirely on the kindness and generosity of the public to continue helping animals like May. Her lower priced surgery and ongoing care has still come at a significant cost, and we would be incredibly grateful for any donations, no matter how small, to help towards her treatment and recovery. Every contribution will make a real difference and help us continue providing life-saving care to animals in need. Thank you for your continued support and compassion.
If you are visiting Swaffham Vets, any donations can be made at the reception desk which can then be passed onto us. Or, directly to us at Brambles Animal Sanctuary, Denver Norfolk.
We really do appreciate all the kindness and help❤️
