Grace Emerson’s Condition was Preventable: Help Us Help Her

Grace Emerson was close to losing her life. This tiny poodle mix was surrendered to a shelter to be euthanized because she was “sick.” But what was really happening was worse than they could have imagined. Grace had never been spayed and was suffering from pyometra, a severe, life-threatening infection of the uterus. Left untreated, pyometra can turn fatal in just days. In Grace’s case, the infection had progressed so far that her uterus was dangerously enlarged—one of the worst her vet had seen in a dog her size.

Because of CAMO Rescue, Grace got that chance. She was rushed to the ER for emergency surgery just in time. Today, she’s home. She’s snuggled up and finally cared for.

But her fight isn’t over. Grace still needs ongoing medical care, monitoring, and support as she heals from both surgery and the neglect she endured.

Pyometra is preventable. Spaying saves lives.
