Sylvie

Do you remember Sylvie ? We told you about her back in March …..” She was rescued from the busy mountain road with her sibling Sidney in the autumn of 2018 – they were about 6 weeks old. Sylvie had suffered quite serious facial traumas. Both of her eyes had scars, one eye had a split bottom lid (which was repaired). She (and Sidney) went straight into KAR Quarantine. Now 18 months later and she is still having treatment for her facial injuries. Her facial bone structure has been altered due to the injuries she suffered before she was rescued.
Recently she had severe facial swelling and it was thought that it was due to an infected tooth root. The tooth was removed and she was given antibiotics. However the swelling increased and further veterinary advice was sought. She had a further operation and fragments of bone and tooth were removed from the root canal. However that did not affected the swelling – she has a serious infection in the bone and/or sinus area. She was put on a high dosage of antibiotics – but to no avail.
Yet another operation was carried out very recently – an incision was made from her mouth up into her face so that the infection itself could be drained. She has had to be taken to the animal hospital, in Lefkosa, every 2 days for the drainage hole to be cleared and re packed.”
