Little Suzee: horrific case of necrotizing mastitis

Today we took little Suzee into rescue with Necrotizing Mastitis.  She delivered 10 puppies 5 weeks ago and then developed an infection in her mammary glands that had not been properly treated.  By the time we received her she was in horrible condition.  We are happy that she came directly into rescue instead of being left at a shelter as she would not have survived.  This picture is showing you what a happy little girl she is even with this horrible wound in her abdomen.  She is 2 years old and way too young to have experienced so much trauma.    When the bandages that are shown on her are removed, you will see the work that the vet had to deal with.
