I agree Maggie is one lucky girl. I hope you're fattening her up today on Thanksgiving!

Jen, what wonderful (negative) news for Maggie! Poor girl must have been sidelined for a while with that pelvic fracture. Occasionally if it's a clean break, nothing is done surgically and only cage rest is prescribed, so I guess Maggie was 'lucky' in the type of break she had. She sure is lucky NOW, to have found you!!

She gets around just fine...and there's no outer signs to indicate that the injury is recent...so she's been adapting for quite some time! But you can really see a large "divet" where her pelvis should meet her tail...we'll eventually have her spayed (the vet could see no sign that she's ever had the surgery done) so when this happens, the vet will take an x-ray of her pelvis to see what's going on! And, again, she's remarkably clean...a few fleas but no ear mites or intestinal parasites...she also tested negative for FeLV/FIV! So we started vaccinations (FeLV and distemper, I believe)...So we're just focused on putting a little (actually, alot) of weight on her...she's only 4 lbs.!! I guess we'll never know her story...but she's as sweet as she can be...the plan is just to get her healthy again and we'll take it from there...but seeing as though she's already got a name, I have a feeling she may be around for awhile! :)Thanks, everybody, for all of your well-wishes!JenBut if you tame me, then we shall meet each other.To me, you will be unique in all the world...To you, I shall be unique in all the world...You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed...-Antoine de Saint Exupery
