Stormy & Blizzard



Stormy developed osteomyelitis after having surgery to remove a growth from her left front paw. She was treated aggressively with antibiotics, topical ointments, and other medications. She was severely depressed and losing weight for several months. Stormy's eyes were tearing and she did not want to eat.

Osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection that can be fatal. Stormy's leg had to be amputated in order to save her life. She has recovered quickly from the surgery and is now pain free. She is back to singing and playing in her yard with her best friend Blizzard.

Dogs get around remarkably well on three legs. Stormy can run and play again. Blizzard is happy that she is able to sing with him again.
