This is Orchid. She came to us a few weeks back, extremely sick.
We took her immediately to our Vets.
As I suspected, she was suffering from Pyometra.
Which is a severe uterine infection. Life threatening.
Our amazing Vets went to work to save her.
You would not recognize her today.
I wish I would a had a photo of her when we took her to the vet.
She is a Maltese. She is a tiny little girl, 4.5 lbs.
Guessing 5 years old. She was spayed.
She also had some really bad teeth.
They did some dental work for help her to feel better.
She will still need some additional dental care.
She is current on her vaccinations, except she needs a rabies.
She has been wormed and microchipped.
She has really come out of her shell over the last few weeks.
Wags her tail, instead of lowering her head.
She is a precious little jewel, deserves a special place to live and learn how wonderful life should be.
There is an adoption fee and contract required.
If you are interested in Orchid and think you are her person,
