🚨 SNOWFLAKE UPDATE: SHE MADE IT THROUGH EMERGENCY SURGERY — BUT SHE IS NOT OUT OF DANGER YET. 🚨
Late last night, Snowflake was rushed to our partners at Majestic Park Animal Hospital for emergency exploratory surgery after going three days without eating and showing signs of a life-threatening intestinal obstruction.
She went into surgery around 8 PM, and at approximately 10:30 PM we received the update we had all been anxiously waiting for.
What the doctors found was devastating.
Snowflake had swallowed several socks. Pieces of sock material were lodged in both her stomach and small intestines, creating a severe obstruction. By the time surgeons were able to get inside, portions of her intestines were necrotic — the tissue was dying and dangerously close to rupturing.
The surgical team had to open her stomach to remove the foreign material and thoroughly flush it. Then they had to remove approximately 20 cm of severely damaged, necrotic intestine and reconnect the remaining healthy sections.
This was a HUGE surgery.
And although Snowflake made it through the operation, her fight is far from over.
The next several days are absolutely critical. The area where her intestines were reconnected has to remain intact and begin healing properly. If that connection were to break down or leak, bacteria could enter her abdomen and cause life-threatening sepsis.
Snowflake will remain hospitalized on IV fluids, antibiotics, pain management, and around-the-clock monitoring for up to five days while the medical team watches her closely.
At this point, the surgeons have done everything they can.
Now we wait. We pray. And we give this little girl every possible chance to keep fighting. 💔🙏
We also want to give the biggest, most heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible team at Majestic Park Animal Hospital. 🤍
They dropped everything to get Snowflake into emergency surgery and worked late into the night to save her life. This was not a simple procedure. Their team spent hours carefully removing the obstruction, assessing the damage, removing the dying portion of her intestine, and putting her back together with the hope that she will now have a chance to heal.
We cannot begin to express how grateful we are to have veterinary partners who are willing to step up when an animal is in crisis. Thank you, Majestic Park Animal Hospital, for fighting for Snowflake right alongside us and for giving her the chance she would not have had without you.
There are truly no words for how much we appreciate you. 🐾🤍🙏
🏡 WE ARE ALSO URGENTLY LOOKING FOR A MEDICAL FOSTER FOR SNOWFLAKE.
Once she is stable enough to leave the hospital, Snowflake will need several weeks of very calm, quiet recovery. We are looking for someone who can bring her home, keep her confined, comfortable, and closely monitored, give medications as directed, and make sure she is able to rest and heal without too much activity.
This is such an important part of her recovery, and the right medical foster could make all the difference for her.
We provide the medical care and support — you provide the safe, loving place for Snowflake to recover. If you can help foster her, please reach out to us as soon as possible. 🤍
Because of YOU, we were able to say yes to Snowflake when she desperately needed us.
So far, our incredible community has helped us raise approximately $2,500 toward her emergency care. We are beyond grateful — but with the extensive surgery and continued hospitalization she now requires, we still need to raise another $2,500.
🙏 PLEASE HELP US GET SNOWFLAKE THROUGH THIS.
$5 helps.
$10 helps.
$20 helps.
Every single donation adds up.
If you cannot donate, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST. Sharing may put Snowflake’s story in front of the person who can help us close this gap — or the medical foster she desperately needs.
Snowflake was surrendered because her owner could not afford the emergency care she needed. When she came to us, we promised her we would fight for her.
We are keeping that promise.
Now we need our community beside us.
🐾 PLEASE DONATE FOR SNOWFLAKE.
🐾 PLEASE SHARE HER STORY.
🐾 PLEASE HELP US FIND HER A MEDICAL FOSTER.
🐾 PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
She has already fought so hard to stay here.
Snowflake needs us now more than ever. 🤍❄️🙏 Majestic Park Animal Care
