​SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE
 
                    TIFFY’S STORY
​
​                Tiffy, a 6-week old baby, came in from a harsh situation and, although initially presented in decent shape, she began to rapidly decline.  Her mobility decreased, and she began to run fevers.
 
Tiffy is having an auto-immune response to some stimuli, i.e.: infection, inflammation, trauma, stress, or even a combination of some or all.  Her joints are swollen, and painful and she will require long term therapy.  Some of her treatments will include k-laser and acupuncture (to reduce inflammation and promote healing).  The two processes work well in conjunction with each other, and each helps the other to optimize effects.
 
She will also need long term antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory medications and the monitoring that comes with that.  Daily physical therapy is needed, along with assistance to walk, to eat and to use the litter box.  Her daily physical therapy consists of assistance to walk in a custom-made harness, and swim lessons, with assistance, in a warm sink, followed by her spa treatment.
 
Tiffy has had needle aspirations on both elbows to relieve the pressure of the fluid, and soft casts to help keep her forelegs in natural positions.
 
We are in in it to win it, and she continues to fight with us.  Can you find it in your heart to contribute a few dollars to her care and others in our care?
