Costello was surrendered after his owner passed away and initially arrived obese with chronic diarrhea. After his fosters helped him lose weight, an ultrasound revealed a large bleeding splenic mass, and Westlake Animal Hospital successfully performed emergency surgery to remove a 3.5-lb benign tumor. Thanks to excellent medical care, his dedicated fosters, and generous supporters, his blood work has greatly improved and he is now thriving.

Granny was a stray released to us in the evening. She is in terrible shape. We estimate she is about 10 yrs old but frankly could be even older. She is an untreated diabetic and arrived emaciated and anemic with infected eyes that were scabbed over and dry. She is blind and has a large wound on her right hip, severe ear infection, urinary tract infection and multiple mammary tumors. She may also have Cushing's disease but its not been verified yet.
