Suki

Suki came from another rescue. They didn't have any available fosters at the time. We took her in, even though it was very close to the time for us to move.
She had been wandering loose on the streets of Los Angeles for a couple of weeks before being trapped in a backyard. After being taken to an emergency vet, it was discovered that she had pyometra and required surgery immediately or she would die. A Northern California rescue drove her up to Marin County and took her to the vet. She was very sick, but they couldn't wait and had to perform the surgery. After surgery, she was still dangerously anemic.
We brought her home, but the vets cautioned that she was very ill and they weren't sure what was causing the anemia. We were to bring her back in a week.
Well, we had already planned a driving vacation to Northern Arizona and Southern California. We decided to take Suki with us. She weighed under ten pounds and I figured she could just spend the vacation on my lap if she needed to. We had fun and the trip and she did well.
At her next vet visit, she got a clean bill of health. She had fully recovered.
Now that she was feeling better, she started running and playing.
