10/16/23 Rest in Peace Sammy.
Back in September he was found outside with some sort of injury that resulted in being unable to urinate and have a bowl movement normally.
His bladder and colon would fill up abnormally large until he could only leak or occasionally pass some material.
Radiographs showed a disc narrowing involving his lower spine, and the doctors suspect there was nerve damage causing Sammy inability to empty his bowls and bladder.
We tried antibiotics, anti inflammatory, stool softeners, and pain meds, but nothing worked. After closely being monitored by his rescuers the Humane decision was to euthanize him. No more suffering. Although his time was short he was certainly loved and cared for. Thank you Kim and Jo for always putting your hearts into those who depend on us. Without our supporters Sammy would have suffered a miserable life of pain on the streets. Gina
