Undercat of the Week – Bradie
Categories: Pet Spotlight
Meet Bradie!
Bradie is one of the current residents of our hospital and our “Undercat of the week”! Bradie came into our facility in October after being hit by a car. We instantly knew she was in a lot of pain. Our veterinarian immediately worked on getting her stabilized to determine what exactly had been injured. X-rays were taken, and we discovered Bradie had been hit so badly that her abdominal wall was no longer intact. Her organs had been shifted around and were in the wrong places. She had lost blood flow to her left rear leg, there were numerous fractures in her pelvis, and she could barely move her right rear leg!
Bradie needed emergency surgery to repair her diaphragm. Our medical team performed manual breathing for Bradie until her diaphragm was able to function on its own. Her left rear leg had to be amputated, and she needed surgery to repair the right one. She’ll need some more time to recover from the extensive trauma but our Undercat is well on the road to recovery, all thanks to the medical team here at the Animal Defense League of Texas!
We will feature a story on one of our Underdogs or in this case, Undercats every week. This is one of the many ways that donations help us help the animals and save more lives. If you’d like to make a donation to help fund Bradie’s medical care, then you can donate here: http://bit.ly/2hLQnpX. Please indicate that you’d like to make a donation in honor of Bradie. Every little bit makes a difference.
