Duct tape was wrapped round and round the plastic box from top to bottom, making sure that it would not open. The woman tore off the cardboard to find a black-and-white cat sitting in an inch of water. The woman was amazed at how friendly she was. Instead of taking her to a vet or surrendering her to a shelter, the person chose to put her in the garbage. The cat was in terrible condition. Her fur was mostly hard clumps of matted hair, soaked in urine. The woman took her right away to another animal hospital.
They did some testing, put the cat on pain medication and ultimately recommended that she bring the cat to us. We did a medical workup, and an abdominal ultrasound revealed an inoperable situation. It is heartbreaking to say that we were presented with a terminally ill animal. We wish we could say that she had a happy ending. It was upsetting for all of us to deal with. To honor her memory, we chose to tell her story. She deserved a gentler and softer world. We were consoled that we were at least able to provide her some care and affection in her last days.
As the Covid situation evolves we at the Humane Society of New York must take important steps to ensure the health of our patients, our staff and the community. We are notifying you that we are significantly restricting access to the hospital as part of our commitment to deliver medical care. This protocol will continue for the foreseeable future. We apologize for any inconvenience this disaster policy may cause, and we hope you understand we did not make these decisions lightly or without considerable thought.
These are difficult but necessary steps intended to keep everyone safe as we manage the Covid crisis. Getting checked out before surgery. We received a call from a man who needed medical help for his ten-year-old dog. By the time he was able to get to us the growth had enlarged enormously and was bleeding. For traveling, he put one of his tee-shirts on him to act as a bandage.
As part of our medical work-up we found that Chumley could barely walk because of the condition of his nails.
They were so overgrown they were curling over and piercing into his foot pads. He calmly let us examine him and never put up a fuss. We performed surgery on the good-natured basset hound and removed the entire tumor. Thankfully, all of the biopsies came back as benign. Now back at home, his owner reports that Chumley is active and playful again, and thanked us for helping him during this challenging time. We understand that animals are their family, maybe their only family, and it is important to everyone to keep your family well.
The pets are their joy, their pleasure, and very often their support system. Their animal is depending on them, and they are depending on us. We never closed our doors.
