Please everyone send out your prayers and positive vibes for January. She’s so thin that surgery is always scary. Her bloodwork looks pretty good so we will try to find out what’s going on. Please donate if you are able. These surgeries will be very expensive, albeit very necessary to save her life.—Something we vowed to do, the second we got January into Rescue.

January was found over the past weekend, dangerously emaciated and running on fumes. So much so that when our volunteers went to catch her, she didn’t put up an ounce of fight.
We rushed her to Warm Hearts Pet Hospital where doctors placed her in "critical care" and started on all the diagnostics needed to determine what was going on internally (any diseases, parasites, etc.). They then hooked her up to IV fluids before getting her into X-Rays to find out what was in her poor tummy – as she was also incredibly anemic and suffering chronic diarrhea. But as it turns out, in January’s efforts to ease the hunger pains, she turned to eating trash, rocks, and pebbles.
We found a stomachful of this inside January’s belly–which, at first, we were hopeful would pass on its own. She was eating/drinking without not throwing up and was having normal bowel movements—an even better sign that they will pass on their own. But then, January stopped eating and vomited several times.
January went in for another round of X-rays this morning, which showed that the trash inside her stomach was not moving. Meaning, she’d have to be opened up for exploratory surgery ASAP. She's actually undergoing surgery as we type.—
