On April 29th, Georgie was found stray in Ft Worth. He was lifeless and
has a mass the size of a grapefruit on his shoulder blade. He was taken
to local animal control where they got him into the CCHS rescue group.
Georgie was rushed to the vet. His blood work was off the charts, he had
a huge mass, and his feces was so impacted that it would need to be
surgically removed. It was determined that most importantly he needed an
emergency blood transfusion. The vet at Parker Animal and Bird Clinic
worked after hours to get the transfusion done and then we all waited
until morning to see if he would make it through the night. Not only
did he make it through the night, but he was standing up and alert! The
vet then decided it was time to remove the mass on this shoulder blade
and impacted feces as he wasn't able to hold any food down with the
blockage. He had surgery that afternoon and did great. The incision was
SEVEN inches long to remove the mass!
Georgie was doing great and then his appetite slowly deteriorated. He
looked to be digressing but then he began having bowl movements and eating
again! We thought he was on the mend until the foster mom came home from the
gym to find him dead in his crate. Georgie died in a warm, loving home w/
the knowledge that he was loved and cared for. Thank you Stephanie for
giving him a comfortable place in his last days w/ us. We did all we could
to save him, but there were bigger and better plans for this sweet boy. We
love you Georgie |
