Just under a month ago I rescued Maria as she was about to die.
She hadn’t been to the toilet in weeks and she could no longer eat.
Things look bleak. To see her today is just remarkable… (1/10) 🧵

Her new life has just begun. 🥰
The x-ray showed compacted 💩. There were 2 options…
1. She dies
2. She has complicated operation and probably dies.
We went for the 2nd option (2/10)
The vets performed a miracle. They removed 5.7kg or 13lbs of poop. (3/10)
They kept her alive but it didn’t look great (4/10)
The issues was a compacted exit area from a previous accident (5/10)
It was liquid food laced with laxatives and all sorts of medicines. Better but not ideal (6/10)
She could keep special food down and it was coming out the other end.
I knew it was positive when she started handing around wanting everyone’s lunch like all dogs do (7/10)
Beautiful dog, and a big thank you to the team who dealt with all of this
