When Nina came to us in late November, she was a cruelty confiscation from North Memphis.
She had a 13lb tumor hanging from her belly, as well as two other smaller tumors along her left mammary chain.
She was emaciated, suffering from a
high fever, and she had a severe skin infection on her haunches and tail. It was a nerve-racking ordeal to prepare her for surgery, knowing that every day that passed increased the chances of the tumor rupturing.
It was important, however, to take the time to see the necessary veterinary specialists
and to perform all the tests and pre-surgical care she needed.
We also had to get her weight up so that she could withstand the anesthesia.
All these efforts were to increase her odds of surviving a surgery that was going to entail significant blood loss
and also has a higher than average mortality rate.
And it worked! On December 8th, Nina went in for major surgery, and she came through with flying colors.
When she was sufficiently recovered from surgery, she went to one of Wright-Way’s amazing medical foster homes,
and she has been thriving!
Post-surgical biopsy results showed that the smaller tumors were benign
and not surprisingly, the larger one was a soft tissue sarcoma.
All signs are pointing to a full recovery, and she will soon be ready to find her forever home.
YOU made this possible.
Finally, Nina has a warm family where she is cared for and loved.
