When Sweetie went to the veterinarian, the severity of her injuries became even more apparent. Her teeth were shattered, her gums were extremely pale, and the results of her tests indicated that she had a dangerously high level of infection as well as acute anemia. Surgery was severely needed for her broken leg, but due to her fragile health, it was not able to perform the procedure. During that particular moment, the only thing that we were able to do was clean the incisions and remove any dead tissue. There was simply not enough strength in her physique to withstand any additional damage. In order to alleviate the excruciating agony that Sweetie was experiencing, she was dependent on powerful medicines. For the purpose of combating the infection and bringing about a reduction in swelling, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were supplied. In order to keep her wounds clean and to prevent any further damage, the bandages were changed numerous times throughout the day. We did everything we could to ensure that she had the best possible chance of surviving.
