6/24/23 – Annabelle Update (post 6/23/23) per rescuer:

“Both Annabelle and Dog were found positive for heart worm. Until the infection and swelling reduces nothing can be done for the heart worm. There is no fever but there is a double fracture in her mouth on each side of canine. That also has to wait as well as casting in that the swelling and infection in her leg needs to be under control. She will bear some weight on a foot which was in question because the radius bone isn’t broken. But, again, the small ulna is broken. She’s eating soaked food with broth and is the sweetest girl. The doctors at West Flint Animal Hospital all came out for her. Bless these poor little souls. Im so thankful for what you do. It comes from my heart – Theresa”

And, our update — We have committed to treating both Annabelle (when ready) and Dog for their heart worm. And, we all want to get Dog started asap as he has adult heart worms. We have not committed to everything needed for Annablle in that her care will possibly be quite extensive if surgeries will be required. We will be able to help with some future follow up appointments for the infections. This will all be a work in progress for the rescue team and the Village! Please continue your prayers for all of these animals and thank you in advance for your donations! – diana
