Sadie's Surgery A Success!

On Friday, October 12, 2007, Sadie the pup had her life-saving heart operation, and from all indications, she has done very well.  The severe heart murmur from which she suffered disappeared immediately upon correction during surgery.

She was discharged from the hospital the next day, with necessary instructions and medications for her foster family.  She will be monitored for the next 10 days in her foster home, at which time she will return to have her sutures removed.  In the interim, the SPCA is screening applicants to find a loving, forever home for this special girl.

The SPCA of Western Quebec wishes to extend its appreciation to all who donated towards Sadie's surgery, which could not have been possible without the generosity and support provided by the public.  Thanks as well to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, and to the Ottawa Citizen.
