Lil Sausie Man needs your help!!! - Updates

Post surgery update - Lil man is now bionic Lil man

18 October 2025

Lil Man had his second surgery earlier this week, this time to repair his broken left elbow. He must have been so uncomfortable & in pain. His mama is so diligent and of course noticed straight away.

He's recovering well & learning to adapt to his new normal which is crate rest for his recovery.

His mama is grateful to the awesome team at Omokoroa Pet Vets for being so accommodating to him and her. Really stoked that they're happy with his femur repair too.

Lil man is now the bionic lil man, thank you so much for the donations so far. So grateful for the generosity, please keep sharing to help with the unexpected vet bills.

SAUSIE MAN UPDATE 🐾

11 October 2025

His mama picked up Lil Man on Thursday morning & took him home. When she took the dressing off his front leg, where the IV catheter was & noticed how bent it was. He went to try to stand & his leg buckled under him.

She was able to take him to a vet straight away. On examination the Vet extended his leg & she could feel the damage. More X-rays now show a broken elbow.

His mama is absolutely gutted for Lil Man & so angry at the Afterhours Vet for missing not 1, not 2, but 3 significant fractures.

If they had covered the basics of doing a top to toe physical examination, outcomes would've been much different.

His mama is waiting for the orthopedic surgeon to review the latest X-ray, but Lil Man will require another surgery to stabilise his front leg.

We are unsure of what the decisions will be, at this stage he will go for a full body X-ray with the orthopedic vet. This will give them a better understanding as to whether they are able to fix his front leg, & if it's in his best interests to proceed. His mama, vet & team will make the decision that has Lil Man's best interests & quality of life at heart.

UPDATE LIL MAN HAS HAD SURGERY

8 October 2025

Lil Man's surgery went well, even with a small piece of bone coming to the surface when the fracture site was.exposed.

Blimen typical for him to not be straight forward🤦‍♀️ haha

So pin in & plate secured with groupings of 3 & 4 screws.

They also found a femoral head fracture (ball joint of hip) on the RHS but think it's a previous injury, as there's no restriction/grating, so time will tell if this affects him.

Recovery went well but he has been a bit of a naughty boy expressing his fear/frustration with the nurses. He's certainly got plenty of fight in him!

Staying the night & I'll pick him up to bring him home tomorrow mid morning.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, donated & shared this. Everything helps and so grateful. Appreciate you all so much This will really help with the medical bills. Apologies for the late update, as you can understand Sausies mama is exhausted

UPDATE ON OUR SAUSIE MAN

6 October 2025

We are stoked to share that Lil Man has urinated by himself!!!

We are really surprised & thankful as to how well he's doing when his mama & friend visited him today. He is talkative, purry, smoochy, his mama even thought he was going to attempt to jump out of the cage a couple of times.

Man he's a trooper, especially with everything he's overcome in his short little life!

His mama is so appreciative of the messages, calls and well wishes from everyone, and especially to my veterinary community for coming together for her & her Lil Man.

All going well he will be having orthopedic surgery on Wednesday. A massive thank you to everyone who has donated to his give-a-little thus far.

It's only the start of a long recovery journey but so grateful to have such an amazing supportive group of people in our corner!
