Bernadette has a Fractured Pelvis :(

Request for surgery

  11 April 2021

Went to visit Bernie today at Karorir Veterinary Clinic. X-rays show her pelvis is worse than thought in terms of narrowing, plus 2 fractures they could see. The left pelvic bone is fine, but the right one is angled very narrow. It means a hit and run is likely what caused the injuries. She has been put on pain medication and anti inflamatories, but they were unable to get her on a drip or properly fix a catheter.

She is relatively happy and snoozy so long as she isn't moved. She was eager for pats and fell asleep on my hand puring, so she's resting up well-heeled! She has eaten, but hasn't drank much water and has yet to urinate or defecate, so they will put her on some laxatives later if there is still no success.

A request with the Massey University Animal Surgery department was made today, and they will ring me with an update on the procedure from here sometime tomorrow. They will do further x-rays to make sure there aren't any joint fractures.

I'm boosting the donation goal to $5, as the nurse said it is unlikely to be less than that.

Thank you all for your support and love, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and cannot thank you all enough. Please continue to share wherever you can!

And if you want some thank you art posted, please do not hesitate to email me with your mailing address at meah.mareah@gmail.com

Love 💘

Mia and Bernie
