Tinkerbell and the balloon

We sent this kitten to Act V with a injured front foot.

Apparently, the kitten was a gift to a young child and had a string with a balloon tied to her foot. Before the parents noticed, the foot was damaged.

Again confirms "Animals are not toys" :(

The good news is Dr. Vickie thinks she can save the foot- and the foster mom loves the kitten and is hoping to adopt her.

Act V also had a great update on ALL injured animas sent to Dr. Vickie including Petey, Ina with eye damage, and Lionel with broken leg--all successfully healed and either adopted or on their way to adoption. Thanks Act V!!

Poor Petie

Petie was the sole surviving pup born to a small dog. Just ten days old, he had a cyst on his neck the size of golf ball and his eye was ruptured. He was part of the January 5, 2010 transport and he went toAct V Rescue and Rehabilitation in Bloomington where he is in the great care of Dr. Vicki.

PETIEUPDATE FROM ACT V:
Little Pete is doing fine.

I think what ever bit him and made the abscess also got him in the left eye and that's why it ruptured.

He's being medicated every 6 hours and has a recheck appt tomorrow. I'm not used to getting up at 2 a.m. to feed puppies or babies for that matter. He's a very good eater.

Little Ina is doing well. She gets rechecked tomorrow too. Zorro (broken front leg shep) went to his new home yesterday. Jambi, the once-starving min-pin, is thriving in his new home.

All is good.
