Update on Daisy

Posted on by

Update on Daisy:  We did not do the amputation surgery on Daisy tonight because after re-taking radiographs it was decided that it would be best to hold off on the procedure. To our surprise, Daisy has a healing fracture on her right pelvis that must have taken place during whatever trauma caused the broken femur. We don’t want to consider removing the leg until she is fully capable of compensating with only one leg. Plus, Daisy is weight bearing on the bad leg which has healed nicely compared to the last x rays. We will wait for now and recheck her in a month. She is doing so wonderful in her foster home and 4 Paws 1 Heart thanks Heroes for Homeless Animals for taking such wonderful care of Daisy! You guys are great!! ~ Gina

4 paws 1 heart took in a Puppy with two broken legs and she needs your prayers. Last night Ruby fell down a flight of stairs and both of her front leg’s are broken. We are not sure if the damage is beyond our means of repair, but we will know more later on this morning.. ~ Gina

Charm a.k.a Olivia

UPDATE: Charm — now known as Olivia — was brought to the attention of 4P1H last November, 2011 when she was just 11 weeks old. Her leg was broken in so many places it had to be amputated. Just a short while after her surgery, Gina brought her over and I couldn’t believe how well she was doing. She was adopted not long afterward by a wonderful woman who has given Olivia a loving and caring home. Here are current photos of this little beauty.

Remember Princess with a Broken Leg

Posted on by

8/20/2012 – Princess is a female, mixed breed, 6-month-old puppy.  She was brought into the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center with her rear leg broken and requiring surgery.  4 Paws 1 Heart will be paying for the surgery which will require amputation.  This puppy is so lovable I couldn’t stand it!!  She almost went home with me!  ~ Gina

Update 9/2/2012  Princess’ leg was amputated by Dr. Venet.   She is doing great and we think that the good doctor might want to give Princess her permanent home. If not, she will  be released to Kim, Warren Animal Control Officer, who rescued her. ~ diana

Update 9/22/2012   Princess was adopted by Dr. Venet and is happy and doing great.  She has adapted very well after her surgery. ~ diana
