Our little amputee Lynnie went to the vet today and got most of her stitches out, and she also got the green light to come out of confinement. She can now walk around freely and even do the few steps out to the yard and back, which she’s just about mastered already! There was one small section of her incision that the vet thought looked questionable, so she got a staple there and will go back in two weeks to have it removed. But all of the rest of the stitches - and there were a LOT of them - were able to come out. She’s now learning to maneuver around on the smooth floors in her foster home, and is enjoying having the freedom to finally join the rest of the household. No more limited usage or restrictions other than wearing her cone, which she’s gotten used to by now.
Just two weeks ago this dog, who had been on her own trying to survive since at least mid-July, was brought in to the Mahoning Pound. She was anemic, terribly emaciated, with a femur broken in two places and well as a fractured pelvis. Now she’s healing well, gaining weight, and will have a chance at a great life!
Rescue works! On behalf of Lynnie and all of the others we’ve cared for and will care for in the future, we thank you for your support! We couldn’t help any of them without you!!!
