1/2/25 – Happy 2025 to our many friends and supporters. On December 19, 2024 we posted about Toast who had a serious eye injury and needed to have his eye removed. Unfortunately, because of the holidays and staff shortages, Toast couldn’t get surgery as quickly as needed but was finally able to get into one of our great partner veterinary hospitals and was scheduled for eye removal on December 30. Yesterday I received the following from his amazing rescuer, Patra:

“12/30/24 – Hi Diana. Toast’s surgery was a success. She did great, no complications. We just got home and she is recovering now. She ate some food and is resting. She did really well! I go back for a follow-up appointment, to get the stitches remove, in 2 weeks. Thanks Diana. I’ll keep in touch with you, about her recovery. Patra”

“1/1/25 – Hi Diana. Happy New Year! Toast is recovering very well. She is very energetic. She is so relieved to have her eye removed. She doesn’t seem to have any more pain. It’s like she did a complete 180, from being very tired, lethargic, and non-responsive at times, to now, playful and having so much energy. And surprisingly, she is keeping her Elizabethan Collar on, and not fighting it, nor is she picking and grabbing at her stitches. (She only has another week & a half to go). I bet she can’t wait to get the collar off. I think she was very happy to have gotten this surgery! Toast and I thank you very much Diana! – Patra”

A huge thank you to Patra, Dr. Blasses of Orion Animal Hospital, and the staff. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/ P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI. 48080
