🚑 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
7/21/2026: Intake exam for an injured right front paw. Slightly lame with swelling of the fifth digit and a healing wound. Started on Carprofen (10 days) and Clavamox (10 days). Weighed 39.4 lbs. Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies), dewormed, flea prevention given, Pyrantel administered. Heartworm test: Low Positive.
7/22/2026: Veterinary recheck confirmed injury to the right front paw. Nail trim performed and treated with ketamine and ketofen for evaluation.
7/23/2026: X-rays revealed severe trauma to the right front paw. The middle phalangeal bone and head of the fifth metacarpal are shattered with metallic fragments present, consistent with a gunshot wound (BB or .22 caliber). The fifth digit is destroyed and part of the metacarpal is likely affected. BARC recommends transfer to a rescue so she has time to heal completely. If adopted directly, the adopter must be willing to pursue continued treatment for her injured toe.
