Last month, we told you about a dog named Wilbur. Found with a blind and severely swollen eye, he needed immediate care. He was treated, the underlying issue was diagnosed, and we set out to ensure his long-term health and happiness.   

Kola is another animal who arrived in our care frightened, fatigued, and in obvious pain. And like Wilbur, she suffered from underlying issues that, if left undiagnosed and untreated, would result in more serious challenges down the road.   

After consulting with an orthopedic surgeon, we discovered that Kola had a bone infection, one that was spreading through her leg. Without surgery, it would eventually spread from her bone into the bloodstream and become a body-wide infection.
