Our Family Paws Rescue hasn't added a story.
**Mila was rescued from South LA City shelter in terrible shape; she was found with an infection of the uterus called Pyometra, which had been left untreated for some time, as evidenced by oozing pus and complete lethargy. This disease progresses to death unless surgery is done. Mila is 18 years old but if you agree that homeless dogs are as deserving to have their lives fought for as much as any other dog, will you kindly donate to her surgery? Time is of the essence here**
Mila was found at South LA City shelter with pus oozing from her lady parts, and needed to use a diaper; this is an indication of how severe her pyometra had become, and how long she had been suffering. Our Family Paws Rescue knew that Mila was in critical condition and they rushed her to the vets for diagnosis. While Pyometra is life threatening, it can be treated with surgery.
"What is Pyometra?
The term "pyometra" refers to a potentially fatal
condition in which the uterus becomes infected and gradually fills
with pus. Many dog owners are unaware of this disease, yet
veterinary professionals know the signs all too well: behavioural
changes including lethargy, increased thirst, increased urination
and loss of appetite are amongst the earliest symptoms. As the
infection festers, abdominal bloating and/or oozing discharge from
the vulva may be noticeable. Without prompt veterinary attention,
your pet could quickly deteriorate and die from infection or a
rupture of the uterine walls."
Mila will likely require a few days hospitalization at Moreno Valley Animal Hospital after her surgery to make sure she is stable, due to her age. Thank you for helping give Mila her life saving surgery; let's work together to finally show this senior soul the respect she deserves.
