It’s with VERY heavy hearts that we let our community know that we lost our beloved Nikki yesterday. We have posted her story throughout this past year. She came to our Veterinary Clinic just a year ago when she was found in a trailer park getting fed by many residents. She had an extremely large abscess that had ruptured. Her face was so badly damaged there was no tissue to use to repair and close the wound. It was also discovered that she had severe ear infections that she had been scratching and opened because her ears were so inflamed. We knew that she couldn’t go back outside due to the risk of further infection, and the fact that she ended up completely deaf due to continuous damage from her ear infections. She became our HSMC Senior Veterinary Clinic Call Center Associate and was loved immensely by our entire staff. She actually had a princess house in our Clinic Call Center and would only accept the good cat litter! If she hadn’t endured enough in her young life, her cancer was discovered 6 weeks ago. Yesterday, there wasn’t dry eye in our Clinic. Every one of our technicians surrounded her, holding each paw, petting her, talking to her even though we knew she was deaf. She left this earth a family member, knowing nothing but love. Rest peacefully Nikki. No more pain sweet girl. 💔🐾🐾🐾🐾💔
