ER April Campaign: Cookie's Misfortune

Cookie was severely injured when she was hit by a car in Rhode Island & left to die on the road. Animal Control brought her to OSVA.

She was stabilized & given IV pain meds...but that was only the beginning...

Her owners were located & denied treatment. More importantly, Cookie was NOT happy to see them. They tried to fight paying the bill for the pain meds the vet had so generously administered. BOTTOM LINE: If they weren't getting her back, they didn't care what happened or who was helping her. They wanted out & left Cookie behind without a care as to what would happen next.

Cookie is just a baby at 2 yrs old. Curly Tail was contacted (as well as several other orgs) by Linda at Just a Touch Rescue. After speaking to the wonderful vet, we learned the severity of her condition. She was very badly broken, in several places.Her forelimb is terribly smashed. Her hip is broken and she needed a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO).

A femoral head ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical procedure that removes the head and neck from the femur. FHO surgery is performed to alleviate pain. It is a salvage procedure, reserved for condition where pain can not be alleviated in any other way. It is common in veterinary surgery.

Cookie's Misfortune



The recommended surgery included plates to be put in both fracture locations + the FHO. Original estimates came in around $7000. Initially lots of rescue groups were pulling together to help Cookie b/c this would be a hefty bill for any org.

While Cookie sat in the ER vet, everyone was trying to come up with a game plan to help Cookie.

• Who would be responsible financially?
• Were there other surgical options available?
• Where would she be fostered post op?
• Should she be moved to NYC for surgery?
• Would Cookie survive this extensive surgery?
• Will she be able to walk again?

Remembering Sophia the Apricot Pug

june 22, 2008 • feb 12, 2013

Sophia was truly a gift who belonged to us all. We know that her strong spirit is still with us, and that her legacy will live on.

As we struggle to come to terms with this great loss, we hope you will take a moment to remember Sophia for exactly what she was ...

Love. Pure Love.

For more of Sophia or to donate in her memory, please visit her Remembrance Page


We will continue our rescue philosophy... based on Sophia's bright, fiery little life & her ever strong will to live: 
  • Save those that would have been forgotten. 
  • Provide care others say is not possible. 
  • Find the reason when others say it is not worth it.

Donations in Sophia's memory will go only towards the care of pugs who need the help of Curly Angels... 


Oscar and Rosie Update
Hurricane Sandy Rescues

After being in foster care for just under 4 weeks, Oscar suddenly started having cluster seizures this week, a series of seizures within a 24 hour period. These can be very dangerous and even fatal at times.

Not knowing any prior medical history on the abandoned pair we have no idea if this is a condition poor Oscar has lived with all along, or if it is a sudden onset. 
We have done a full blood and urine workup and everything came back normal and did not indicate any specific seizure condition.

We are currently working very closely with the Dr. to find the right combination of anti convulsive medications for Oscar and help him adjust. The good news is he has not had a seizure in 48 hours and the dangerous clustering seems to have subsided.

Oscar is being watched very carefully in his foster home and wants to thank everyone for their continued support!

Oscar's recent medical expenses for his seizure episode totaled $321.39 and we anticipate more while helping determine the root cause and appropriate treatment going forward.


Please consider chipping into help sweet Oscar
Any donation of any size is appreciated!
