Remember Spanky McFarland from the "Our Gang" TV series - the chubby, happy-go-lucky boy who stole America's heart?
Well, our gang of Cocker Kids has a Spanky who is another heart "stealer". Two year old Spanky came to us
heartworm positive and limping badly to the point of lameness. X-rays revealed no broken bones but our veterinarian
diagnosed a birth defect. Spanky's left knee "luxates" constantly, meaning it "pops" with every step. His condition
is so severe that the knee groove holding the kneecap, ligaments and leg muscle sneed repair. Immediate surgery is
recommended. Cocker Spaniel Rescue's resources have been stretched thin recently, so the surgery will have to wait
until the funds are banked. After surgery and recovery time Spanky will be ready to join YOUR gang.

Carly was rescued by a Good Samaritan who let this one eared girl stay in the garage a few days.
The Good Samaritan hated to take her to a shelter fearing a one eared dog would simply be put down, so Carly
checked into the Cocker Inn. Carly's ear was somehow severed. The first vet who saw her performed surgery to
clean the wound and put her on antibiotics. By the end of July the wound still hadn't healed.
The next step was to take her to our ear ablation specialist who performed surgery to remove more of the ear
canal and the infection along with it. Carly currently has a long incision and we are praying she heals quickly.
Her face is partially paralyzed but we hope the blinking reflex in her left eye
will return as the incision heals.More Pics |
