Tater Tot (named by the BVSPCA) was found by two good Samaritans biking in Brandywine Creek State Park with multiple infected, deep lacerations on her torso and limbs. The two took immediate action and called the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare (OAW) for support.
 
Our friends at the OAW rushed Tater Tot over to our New Castle Campus where she was immediately evaluated with x-rays and advanced diagnostics. It was clear that Tater Tot’s condition was extremely severe and she was going to need extensive, specialty veterinary care, so she was transferred to our partners at a local VCA Animal Hospital.
 
Tater Tot's prognosis was grim; she had severe infections and her abdomen was septic requiring emergency surgery to give her the best chance to survive the night. Amazingly, she successfully pulled through her surgery and is now recovering in ICU where she is being closely monitored and continues her fight.
 
At the  BVSPCA every life counts, and while the odds were stacked against Tater Tot and according to a team of doctors her chances were slim, we believed that she deserved a chance. And for Tater Tot we are committed to her fight and continuing her critical care!

Please join the people who are working so hard to save this poor, sweet girl by making a donation to help cover her medical costs and care.
 
If you have any information or leads that could help in Tater Tot's case, please call the Office of Animal Welfare at 302-255-4646. Tips can be made anonymously.

Despite Tater Tot’s determination to fight back and the very best of care at VCA, our girl suddenly declined this evening. Tater Tot’s condition was complex, and a weakness in her heart took her beyond medical reach. With the recommendations from her team of veterinary experts and our teams knowledge of her conditions, the crushing decision to let her go was made. Tater Tot left us wrapped in the love she deserved to have had all of her life. Her sweet and gentle spirit now runs pain-free across the bridge. We appreciate all the love our community sent her and hope you’ll remember her as we do – not only for the work still to be done fighting cruelty but for the inner strength she showed against the very worst adversity. Run free, Tater Tot, and know you were so very loved.
