Washington Update
Many of you will have seen Washington, our new arrival last night who has been living on the streets for at least 12 months and arrived with us bearing the most horrific old and new abcess injuries to his neck.
Today he has spent the day in the vets, has had surgery under general anesthesia to clean and tidy his wounds up, a Penrose Drain inserted to drain off infected exudate and is currently being nursed intensively, back with me, at the rescue.
He will remain on intravenous fluids for the next 48 hours and will then be reviewed by our amazing veterinary team at Northcote.
