ORANGE COUNTY, Fla.
—
9 Investigates
uncovered animals dying or in need of intense care after surgeries residents
paid for at Orange County Animal Services.
In the last two
months, Channel 9 learned two dogs died after being spayed, and a third is
still receiving treatment after what some are calling a ‘botched’
operation.
Life Saving Surgery
on botched OCAS Spay for Mama Bravo
Mama Bravo was a
pregnant dog on death row at Orange County Animal Services in Orlando, Fl.
Happy Trails Animal Rescue saved her from death row on December 16, 2013. She
went into labor four hours later, and delivered seven strong, healthy puppies
the next day. Mama was a wonderful Mommy, and cared for and nursed all of her
puppies despite her emaciated condition. She was returned to Orange County
Animal Services on Wednesday February 5, 2014 to receive a routine spay
procedure in preperation to go to her forever Mommy. Her new Mommy called us
last night saying that Mama was having complications from her spay procedure
and was very week and could not stand. Upon returning her to OCAS, we did not
receive any definitive answers from their vet as to what was causing the
complications. We took her in to our own vet for further diagnosis, and it was
discovered she had severe internal bleeding due to surgical complications from
her spay. She had only 10% blood volume remaining from internal bleeding, and
needed a blood transfusion and a life saving operation to repair the problems
involved in the spay. The bladder had been tied off during the spay procedure
and was left.
