| Groucho (aka Lazarus) came to BCNC Rescue from a shelter after spending four days in their hospital ward waiting for his owner to claim him. Mary Aiken went to the shelter to rescue him after he was deemed "unadoptable" due to his condition. Groucho had a badly infected leg. At this time the vets believe that he may have gotten his foot stuck in an animal trap causing the flesh around the hock to be torn off as he tried to free himself. On top of the leg issue Groucho also had cherry eye, multiple untreated hematomas on his ear- causing his ear to look like cauliflower (crinkly)- as well as being covered in fleas. The shelter also told us that when he was found there were maggots living in the tissue of his foot. The pictures of his foot are very graphic, but if you would like to see what Rescue Workers deal with, they are HERE. | After a careful vet examination and a bit of treatment, Groucho's gangrenous leg was amputated. Groucho is doing much better with a little follow up treatment and lots of loving care! |
