EMERGENCY MEDICAL FUND DONATIONS NEEDED

http://support.washhumane.org/site/R?i=vXiKLbQ0ZziRpdm0OuR_8g

The Washington Humane Society (WHS) has a number of seriously
injured animals requiring advanced care. We are regularly
depleting the resources available in our emergency medical fund.

Please consider making a donation to SOPHIE'S FUND now.

http://support.washhumane.org/site/R?i=LDHKO8qT2RF4K05QWaw_tg

This fund enables the WHS to provide animals with urgent,
specialized medical care. Sophie's Fund saves lives every day. 

CLIFFORD
Clifford, a two year old cocker spaniel mix, came into the care of WHS
after having sustained blunt force trauma to his head from an unknown source. Crying
out at the slightest touch to his face, it was obvious that he was in a
tremendous amount of pain - he was not even able to open his mouth to eat. Once
WHS Officers had rescued him, they immediately took him to be examined
by our medical staff, where it was determined that Clifford's injury
was far too serious for us to treat and that he would need the care of a
specialist. He was transported to one of our emergency medical partners,
Friendship Hospital for Animals, where X-rays revealed that
Clifford's jaw was broken and he would require surgery right away. During the complicated
surgery, he was given an external fixator (metal pins) to secure his jaw. The
external fixator was the best choice to ensure that Clifford would have a
complete recovery, but this option can be very difficult for caregivers. The pins need to be
cleaned regularly to prevent infection, and he needs to be on bed rest while
wearing an e-collar for the duration of his recovery. In two months, the pins
will need to be removed, and his condition will be reassessed. Clifford is now
recuperating in the home of one of our dedicated WHS medical foster families, and
should be back to his normal, healthy self and eating regularly soon.

SMOOSHY PANTS MCGEE
Smooshy Pants McGee, a ten month old Pit bull-type puppy, was rescued by a WHS Officer after he had been hit by a car and had
taken refuge in some bushes at the bottom of an embankment. It was
clear to the Officer that Smooshy Pants had sustained a severe injury
to his left hind leg, which rendered him unable to walk. Additionally, he
was covered in scrapes and bruises, and had a serious injury to his eye.
The Officer cautiously carried him up the embankment to be safely
transported back to WHS for evaluation. X-rays performed by our emergency medical
partner, Friendship Hospital for Animals, confirmed that Smooshy Pants had a
broken leg, and it was determined the fracture was so severe that the leg would
need to be amputated. Back in the care of WHS, our medical team successfully
performed the amputation at our National Capital Area Spay & Neuter Center.
Smooshy Pants McGee is currently recovering at our New York Avenue Adoption Center,
where he is waiting to meet his forever family.

PETRA
Petra, a three month old puppy, was brought to one of our adoption centers by
a Good Samaritan who found her laying by the side of a busy DC street. She
had been attacked by another dog, was covered in wounds, and was extremely
lethargic. The WHS medical team determined that Petra would need immediate
medical treatment from one of our emergency medical partners, and made
arrangements to transport her to a veterinary hospital for care. Her condition
was so severe that on the way to be treated she began to shake uncontrollably
and go into shock. Once all of her wounds and other issues had been
treated, a WHS staff member took her home to recover in a peaceful environment. Two
of Petra's wounds were infected, and needed to be drained regularly - a
painful and difficult process. For the first two days in foster care, she was in
such terrible shape that she refused to even walk. Despite the severity of
her injuries, Petra will make a full recovery.

Can you help animals like Petra NOW? Please donate to Sophie's Fund.

All of our injured animals deserve the love, care, and hope that
Clifford, Smooshy Pants McGee, and Petra are receiving.

Please make a donation to Sophie's Fund and help give that opportunity.
