Dyersburg, TN • Paws to Care
Camelot is a sweet gray tabby. She was dropped off at an apartment complex and left to fend alone. She also had five kittens that needed attention.. A member of the community contacted Paws to Care for help. We went to the area and observed the situation. She had been hit by a car also. We discovered she had a broken leg. We quickly took her to a veterinarian partner for services. Camelo's leg injury was severe and had to be amputated. Though missing a leg, she is adapting well with her balance and mobility. She is still caring for her kittens and keeping them safe as a mother does. She and the kittens are in our safe, caring foster home until she weans her kittens and can be adopted. She adapts well with only one leg. Though missing a leg, she is adapting well with keeping her balance. she is also very mobile. She is still caring for her kittens and keeping them safe as a mother does. She and the kitten are in our safe, caring foster home until she weans her kittens and can be adopted. Pari Veterinary Clinic in Pari, TN performed the surgery. She had been hit by a car causing extensive damage to her front leg. Not only was she in excruciating pain. Because of the severe damage done to her ligaments and tendons, she was unable to move part of her leg. The vet's recommendation was to remove that leg. Paws to Care is funded through donations and fundraising campaigns. We budget for routine veterinarian services. However, this is an unusual case that was not in the budget.
Callie
Callie is a 18-month-old Calico Cat in Dyersburg, TN, who needs $325 for Stomatitis.
Dyersburg, TN • Paws to Care
Callie was a stray cat. She was picked up by the Dyer County Humane Society. She was born Nov 8, 2020 and was a year and 3 months old. She was losing weight and was having trouble eating. It appeared that her mouth hurt her. Her health was very poor and they contacted Paws to Care for assistance. Callie was taken into the Paws to Care network of foster care. She was taken to the veterinarian office for spay to prevent her from having kittens that could wind up in the same severe condition. During the exam, the vet discovered that she had a disease called Stomatitis. This is often a fatal disease and is extremely painful and makes eating almost impossible. Callie is a sweet, beautiful calico cat. The disease that was diagnosed causes the cats' immune system to have a deadly reaction to the bacteria in their mouths. In order to save her and give her good quality of life, we had to have all of her teeth, except her canines, surgically removed. She has now recovered and was given a good prognosis.

Paws to Care budgets for veterinarian emergency expenses and spay and neuter costs. However, this case of Stomatitis was unexpected and is beyond our budget. We are asking for donations to defray the increased cost of this initial treatment cot and ongoing dental exams.
Little Gracie
Little Gracie is a 2-year-old Mixed Breed Dog in Dyersburg, TN, who needs $1,362 for bloody urine issue.
Dyersburg, TN • Paws to Care
Little Gracie is a two-year old mixed breed female. She was rescued from extremely bad living conditions. She was tested and test results determined that she had heartworms and also had lungworms. In addition, she had Demodex mane, hair loss and sore feet. She became very ill and began peeing blood. We immediately took her to our partner veterinarian to determine the cause. She is a very sweet lady and deserves the best medical care possible. She was not socialized as a puppy and has some neurological symptoms that will likely be for life. They have improved a bit with better food, care and socialization. We discovered she had distemper as a puppy and now her balance is sometimes unstable but manageable. The new adopter will need to be aware of her experiences. Little Gracie is a ball of energy. Her neurological problems don’t slow her down. She loves to drag her blankets outside and lay on them in the sun. She loves visiting the other dogs and playing with them. Gracie is always smiling and is happy to see you, even though her neurological problems make it to where she’s not quite sure how to get to you. She loves treats and will beg everyone for them. Our veterinarians have performed several tests to determine why she is still having bloody urine. They have been unable to determine the cause. They recommend exploratory surgery where they will inspect her bladder and other internal organs to find the cause of the continuous bleeding. Her surgery is scheduled soon and we are confident they will find and fix the issue. We are requesting funding for Little Gracie at this time as she is most extreme case we have had in over a year. These costs are much higher than the average that we have budgeted. With your help, we can continue to assist other animals as emergencies arise.
