Recently, an older black and white female Shih Tzu found its way to the Bradford County Humane Society. She was brought in as a stray from the dog warden in very bad shape. She was dirty, had fleas and flea dermatitis and what was worse is she had an obvious broken leg.
The staff named her Sophie and she was transported immediately to Milan Vet Clinic. Dr. Washington performed x-rays and it was determined that her leg was broken in two places and would require surgery to correct. She also is completely blind in one eye and had an ulcer on the other eye making vision extremely impaired. It was estimated that she was 10-13 years old. Even though she had these complications, she is the happiest girl.
Surgery was performed at Milan Vet Clinic and she is walking around and even running now, with resting in between. She is currently being fostered until she is completely recovered. She will require one more surgery to take the pin out of her leg that is correcting the broken bone.
BCHS is asking the community to assist with her large vet bill, upwards of $900. BCHS is a nonprofit private organization that relies 80% of its funding from donations.
