Full Leg Amputation Needed for Manuka Honey!

Manuka Honey has been surrendered to our care in need of immediate medical intervention. Two months ago, she was hit by a car resulting in significant trauma to her leg. At this time, it had been recommended to the previous owners that Manuka undergo reconstructive surgery, but they had decided to do weekly bandage changes instead. For three weeks, the owners did not come in for bandage changes. Without proper guidance, the owners had incorrectly wrapped Manuka’s leg. All this time, her leg was wrapped so tightly, it cut off blood flow resulting in necrosis. By the time we were contacted, Manuka Honey’s leg was hanging and covered in dead tissue with the immediate threat of a blood infection. She was lethargic, unable to walk, unwilling to eat and very uncomfortable. After being rushed to the emergency room, doctors have confirmed what we feared all along, Manuka’s leg will have to be amputated up to, and including the shoulder. A preventable situation turned into misery for this poor dog. Her surgery will need to be done immediately and with a Board Certified surgeon. Please help donate to Manuka Honey’s emergency medical fund. We cannot let this dog needlessly suffer any longer!
