Rambo's Rescue and Progress
August 08, 2009
I am happy to report good news about Rambo. I first ran a post about Rambo here. He had been beaten very badly and had a severely broken leg that may different veterinary surgeons said could not be saved. Finally, a surgeon was found at Ohio State University who said he could save the poor thing's leg. Even though he was booked solid for two months he decided to take this emergency case and operate. Thankfully his leg is intact! Here is what the family wrote me:
Rambo is doing well now. Thanks to Dave and Maria. He had surgery to repair his leg 7/15/09. He now has a external fixator on his leg and most likely will have to have another minor surgery to remove it in 6 to 7 weeks. Until then he'll be visiting Dr. Dyce at OSU at least once a week. Maria and Dave, you will forever hold a place in the Humes family's heart. God bless daily.
Thank you!!
Trace, Mikeal, Dawson and Rambo
Rambo is in a crib so he can't move around too much and he will be an indoor kitty from now on.
I love happy endings :)
So glad to hear that he's doing better. And kudos to you and hubby for paying for his medical bills. Big hugs to you both! And a special soft stroke for Rambo.

Nothing wrong with being an indoor kitty only. That's such good news that the surgeon fit this cat in and saved the leg!

Hi Michelle,
thanks for the update on Rambo. I just feel so sorry for him having to go through surgery and follow up visits - all because of some crazed humans action. I hope he's not too stressed, poor thing. Glad the family is keeping him indoors now.
wishing you a fabulous Sunday!

ps - would you mind giving me a seller's rating on Dawanda? No rush. When you feel like it. Many thanks in advance:)
