Personality: Tami was found stuck in a swamp, and her plight was alerted to us by kind members of the public. She had been sighted by the rescuers kayaking there at the same spot for two days, and on the second day, she was howling. That’s when the rescuers knew she was in trouble, and wasn’t just scavenging for food as what they had assumed the day before. With some wit and help from a few other people, Tami was brought to safety, and we could bring her to the vet quickly. Tami was in obvious discomfort and pain as she would snarl aggressively when anyone tried to touch her hinds, but seemed sweet enough to allow pats on her head. Turns out, Tami had a dislocated hip on one side, and severe arthritis on the other, and was in a lot of pain. Tami has had surgery on one hip so far, and is coping much better, and is able to prop herself up and enjoys going for walks. She’s due for review very soon, and if all is well, she will be scheduled for her 2nd surgery. We hope she will make a good recovery and be more comfortable!
