UPDATE: Polly is on the road to recovery, thanks to your support. She has left Louisiana on a Greater Good Charities Good Flight and is in a loving foster home in Idaho. Thank you for helping this sweet pup get a second chance.
Polly came to the shelter with a severe laceration and swelling from a collar embedded in her neck. The collar was removed and Polly's wounds treated, and the swelling began to go down. But back at the shelter, it increased again, and poor Polly went back to the vet for supportive care and observation.
This sweet pup's doctors determined that her swelling is due to strangulation from scar tissue that developed as a result of the embedded collar. Polly needs to undergo surgery in stages to break down the scar tissue, release the strictures in her neck and reduce the swelling in her face. Then, she can begin the next chapter of life happy and healthy!
Help Polly heal in peace after traumatic injuries!
