Misty’s Story….

In February the Rhode Island SPCA responded to a complaint of a sexually abused dog in Lincoln, RI. Upon arrival, disturbing observations were made by the investigators. The female Weimaraner dog, Misty, was immediately removed from the home by the Rhode Island SPCA and transported to a veterinarian for evaluation. At that time, Misty was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and put on medication. 

Misty was placed in a loving foster home to mentally and physically recuperate, and her infection seemed to be slowly improving while she settled into her foster home with new foster brothers and sisters. 

Misty’s health very abruptly declined, she began leaking urine and was suddenly unable to walk. Her foster mom rushed her Ocean State Veterinary Services, where they found she needed emergency surgery for pyometra. Pyometra is defined as an infection in the uterus, it is a serious and life-threatening condition that must be treated promptly and aggressively. During surgery they found that Misty’s uterus had already ruptured and infection had spread throughout her body, sepsis had already set in. 

Misty was in critical condition and in the ICU up until yesterday, when we finally received the news that we all wanted to hear…Misty is in stable condition!

What has happened to Misty is disturbing and heartbreaking and we are dedicated to fighting for Misty and animals like her, but we cannot do it without your help!
