Update: Lilo’s Recovery Journey
Update: Thanks to your generosity, Lilo received the medical treatment she needed. She spent weeks recovering at a foster home. The shelter shared that she has made a full recovery and found a forever home.
She is now living her best life and sends her thanks for your support.
Lilo was rescued and brought to a nearby shelter, but soon after she arrived her health began to crash. She became weak, unsteady, and her body temperature dropped, so staff rushed her to an emergency hospital.
X-rays revealed a tear in Lilo’s bladder that was leaking fluid into her abdomen. She needs a life-saving procedure that will involve catheters and IV medications to drain the fluid from her stomach and stabilize her condition. Without this immediate surgery, her health would have continued to deteriorate.
Medical Procedure Details
| Procedure | Description |
|---|---|
| Catheter Placement | To drain fluid from the abdomen and relieve pressure |
