Pumpkin is the pug that was hit by car and left.......When MMPC, Inc got her, her leg had been set...but not correctly. She had a HUGE mammary "growth". She had surgery for over $1500. The leg has metal in it. She has a checkup this Monday to see how it is healing and how much longer the metal stays in. The huge "growth" was a hernia with her entire uterus in it. She was spayed and that was fixed. She also had 2 mammary tumors removed with clean margins.
Pug Dog Club of America came to our aid and gave us money from their rescue since the club is a breed club which supports our rescue program "For the Love of Pugs". We also want to thank those that also contributed to help Pumpkin.
I got this picture today: (the red by her leg is the metal covered with tape)
This is what her foster mom wrote:
Pumpkin is getting around so well it is amazing! She runs in the yard and chases squirrels and birds! She is really having the time of her life! Also, she has gained a little weight and looks great! She spends her weekends at the cottage in Lexington. Attached are some recent pictures of her up there lounging in the shade. Stay turned for more
We also are caring for a heartworm postive boy....and just recently got a beautiful black girl that was found bleeding inside the door of a dollar store.
