Extensive Report on Soup

Posted on by

12/27/13: SOUP – Here’s a more extensive report on Soup’s condition: Soup was sedated in order to cut the can away and we noticed his tail had punctures. Upon later reviewing the Radiographs we discovered that his pelvis is broken, but it is uncertain how many areas and exactly where. He also has a dislocated femur. Now, I’ve been told different things about prognosis. This cat is literally the sweetest cat I have ever seen. He is eating, drinking, urinating, having bowl movement, etc. He can rotate from one side to the other and he rolls over on his back to have his belly rubbed. The bruising is horrendous and we suspect that he was attacked by another animal when his head was stuck and he couldn’t defend himself. We neutered him when he was sedated to remove the can (this was before we even knew about the pelvis injury) because we didn’t know about the other injuries until he was recovered and not able to walk. He was tested negative for feluk/fiv, his bloodwork full panel was normal, he was treated for roundworms, and treated for fleas. ~ Gina

Within the next day or two, Soup will be taken to OVRS to see an orthopedic specialist. Our main concern is that whatever we do, we do not want Soup to be in unnecessary pain and we want him to have a good quality of life where he can have a forever loving home. We will keep our supporters and friends updated. ~ diana

Soup

Posted on by

12/26/1 – SOUP: A woman called the Emergency and said she had found a cat in her yard whose head was stuck in a soup can. Fortunately, Gina was on duty and the woman was told to bring him in. Once he was brought in, the head was freed from the can, he received medication for puncture wounds, and he was neutered. After being treated for external wounds, it was determined that his pelvis was broken in three places. He was also badly bruised and It appeared that while he was defenseless, because of being stuck in the soup can, he may have been hit by a car or had been attacked by another animal. His personality is super sweet and lovable and we are determined to find him a loving, forever home.

Soup will need a home which can provide him a crate where he can maintain little movement while his pelvis heals. He will need two months of TLC but, to the right parents, it will be worth it. Let Gina know if you think you can help our little guy—he’s been through a lot. [email protected]..

Dig Dug

12/24/413: Remember this guy? Dig Dug — He was one of the lucky dogs. After hours of trying to catch him as he ran loose near a highway, the police officers used a taser to stop him. The police officers worked with citizens and actually had one in the car while they were trying to capture him. 4 Paws 1 Heart was contacted to pay the medical and here’s our baby, Dig, today. Tell me he doesn’t make a handsome reindog. Thank You, Momma Amber, for sharing. ~ diana

Tiny Tim

Posted on by

12/22/13 TINY TIM was used as a bait dog and taken in by Providing For Paws. Once again, because of our generous supporters, we will be sending medical dollars for the care of Tiny Tim. Thank you to our friends, the Union Hall members, River Rouge Shelter, and Providing for Paws for giving this poor abused dog a second chance. Here is his story as taken from Providing For Paws’ facebook page.

“Update 12-20-13 Tiny Tim had his surgery in the early hours this morning. He was missing a lot of cartilage on one of his ears, however our wonderful Dr. Reuland was able to put it all back together again. She said it might not hang exactly right, but she was able to repair that ear and suture up the second ear that was not in as bad of shape. She believes he also has a ruptured ear drum, after looking down his ear canal with the scope. He has frost bit face, testicles, and some areas of his paws. Some layers of skin from being frost bit, are peeling off those areas. He also need some repair on his right leg. He is so exhausted still! We got him up and outside to go potty and he could only take a step or two, before he would stop again to rest. Once back in the hospital, he was back in his crate to rest. Such a very sweet and loving boy he is. Heart breaking to see him so weak.
