Upon removal of the make-shift bandage, there was significant swelling of the carpus and paw. Two crusted lesions were observed in the aspect of the carpus.

Personality: Mary was full on sweetie pie when we took her out for some TLC. In kennel, she wiggle-wiggled and poked her nose out for some rubs. Out of kennel, her tail tucked with all that loud noise, but she sought interaction with both her handler and another person close-by and accepted all of the love. We would LOVE Mary to find the rescue she needs for further diagnostics and some R&R as she heals!
