Sage - Injured - Needs Medical Care Bombay Hoquiam, WA

Sage and her siblings (about 3 months old) and their mother were left in a container at a church. Sage had trouble walking, and our veterinarian determined that she had probably been stepped on about a week previously. This resulted in an injury to her spine, a dislocated pelvis and a badly broken femur in her back leg.

She is in a confined space in a foster home while she gains weight (she is only two pounds) and to let her spine and pelvis heal as much as possible. In about a month, it will be determined how to deal with her leg, but we are told it will probably need to be amputated.

She is otherwise doing well, has a wonderful attitude, and is extremely affectionate.

This will be an expensive surgery and we hope to get enough donations to offset the cost. Anything we receive beyond the amount needed for her care will go into our special veterinary fund, which is used to help cats and dogs coming to us that need extraordinary medical services.

If you donate, thank you! And please note that this is for Sage.

UPDATE! Sage's pelvis is realigning, and her spine is growing new bone. She will still need the shattered pieces of the ball of her femur (where it goes into the hip) removed, and it is undetermined whether she will be able to keep her leg. Her attitude is great, and she is getting out a little to exercise so her muscles do not atrophy. More news to come in about a month!
UPDATE: Sage is still on the mend. Her femur is bonding but there is still some concern about the hip socket area. Next visit in a few weeks. In the meantime, she gets lots of exercise. Although she is 'crooked', she gets around very well!
