Shareable Stories of TCHS Animals
Lilac is a 7-month-old cat who arrived at Tri-County Humane Society on June 11 with a severely injured right front leg. The foot area of the leg appeared to have a crush injury with open wounds exposing deep tissue. The leg couldn’t function, and Lilac was dragging it behind her.
That wasn’t the only challenge facing Lilac. She also had a significant upper respiratory infection with congestion, sneezing, and eye inflammation. Tri-County Humane Society’s medical team quickly got Lilac on a regimen of pain medications, antibiotics, and other supportive care. Lilac’s X-rays revealed even more issues than suspected – besides her leg injury, her elbow had such major damage it was beyond repair. After she recovered from her upper respiratory infection, Lilac was scheduled for a leg amputation, which took place on June 25. Today, Lilac is recovering in her loving foster home. We don’t know how she received her injuries, but we believe she has a bright future thanks to friends like you!
A 2-year-old cat we called Junipurr arrived at TCHS in early February with a severe ulceration/wound on her right eye. While we don’t know how the injury happened, Junipurr had spent a lot of time outside. Unfortunately, the wound was so deep, Junipurr’s eyeball had perforated, and fluid was leaking out of her eye. This painful condition can lead to severe infections that make eye removal a necessity.
Our medical team started an intensive healing program for Junipurr, which included oral pain medications, eye drop antibiotics, and even a special treatment from an unlikely source.
Enter Beau, a Black Lab mix who was under anesthesia for his neuter surgery on a day our team also was working on Junipurr. Beau's the patient became Beau the blood donor!
After collecting Beau’s blood, TCHS medical staff carefully separated the liquid portion of the blood (serum) from the blood cells. The serum was made into eye drops that were applied to Junipurr’s eye in addition to all her medications. Because the serum was being applied topically rather than injected, it was safe to use blood from a dog for this lucky cat’s eye.
Junipurr was placed in a foster home while her eye injury healed. The residual hazing on her right eye didn’t slow her down and her foster family reported Junipurr to be a confident, cuddly cat. This success story has a happy ending, too. She returned to the shelter and was adopted a couple of weeks ago!
TCHS’ dedicated medical team, the caring foster home, and the sweet dog Beau all played roles in saving Junipurr’s eye.
