Dessi the kitten
Before
After
Dessi was brought to Dr. Jaax on June 24th as a stray kitten who was suspected to have been attacked. She had multiple large open wounds that had abscessed, and a ruptured eye. The largest wounds were on her face and hind leg, so deep that her bone was slightly exposed on her leg.Despite her poor and painful condition, Dessi gobbled up a 1/2 can of wet food during her appointment! Dessi’s wounds were treated and she underwent surgery to remove her ruptured eye. She came to see Dr. Jaax again yesterday with good news- she is healed and feeling great!
Mack the Doberman
Before
After
Dr. Chase began fostering 2 year old Mack in February when she volunteered to help a Doberman rescue. Mack had been severely neglected. His list of problems included: He was emaciated at only 50 pounds, had scars and scabs all over his body, not neutered, had 2 types of intestinal parasites, and to top it off Mack was heartworm positive. Dr. Chase nursed Mack back to health over the last 3 months, and he now looks and feels fantastic! Mack is 67 pounds with a gorgeous coat and is heartworm negative.
Roxie’s new wheels
Before
After
There’s no stopping her now! As soon Roxie got in her new dog cart, she rolled all over our clinic- literally! Roxie recently came to Dr. Chase as a new patient. She is a 12 year old pug who for the last 5 years has been struggling with her hind legs after a back injury. Her owner reported that for the last year, Roxie has been down completely; only using her front legs to scoot around the house. When they brought her to us, Dr. Chase gave Roxie a dog cart that had been donated by one of our other clients, and it fit Roxie perfectly! It took Roxie no time to realize she could move in it and she took off! So happy to easily move again, we watched as she went on a self-guided tour all over the hospital. Roxie is now one mobile pug!
