Meet Ruth; she was found in Babe Ruth Park covered in wounds. The non-profit rescue transported her to their partner veterinary hospital where underwent life saving treatment. Radiograms reveal she had what appeared to be iron (or some other foreign substance) in her stomach and needed emergency surgery.
On Monday morning, Ruth underwent surgery; surgeons found a full chain and collar embedded in her stomach.
Check out her video on Tuesday morning. Although her wounds appear to be painful and still open, the staff at the veterinarian hospital are keeping them clean. She is currently still on IV, but look at that tail!
