Project Info
The original injury to her left rear femur, sometime in the past year, was a very painful break with sharp bone ends jabbing into her muscles and tissue. The bone ends are visibily rounded now, which means it is not currently painful, but she cannot put any weight on it and the leg dangles. There is darkening of the head of the femur which means the calcium in the bone is dissolving as she cannot put weight on the leg. The vet states that the reason the leg hasn't healed, besides lack of treatment, is because she obviously has been kept pregnant and has had poor health."If we can repair this "SWEET as PIE" rescue, she will have a forever home in a flash!" says her foster Mom.
