What a difference a couple of months make! Cyrus presented for Friendship Hospital for Animals after an extremely unfortunate run in with a bobcat. He suffered wounds all over his chest and right arm. After just under three months of treatments, we are very happy to report that Cyrus's wounds have healed! We are going to miss him and we could not be more proud of how far he has come.
This crazy kid is Oswald! He got a little too crazy playing and took a tumble. Today he was diagnosed with a salter harris fracture that we will be treating with a splinted bandage.
