Lacey, NJ – A 10-month-old standard poodle named Kimber is recovering in a foster home after surviving a traumatic leg injury so severe that her bone pierced through her skin, forcing veterinarians to amputate the limb to save her life.
According to Associated Humane Societies in Lacey, Kimber was rushed in with a devastating leg fracture believed to be caused by blunt force trauma. The extent of the injury left no option but immediate surgery. Despite efforts to save the leg, the damage was irreparable. Swift intervention stabilized Kimber and ultimately spared her life.
Now in recovery, the young poodle is being cared for by a foster family and is reported to be healing well both physically and emotionally. Staff say her condition has improved significantly since the operation, and she is adapting quickly to life with three legs.
AHS Lacey is asking for help to cover the costs of Kimber’s medical care and future emergencies. Donations will go toward Kimber’s treatment and support animals facing similar critical injuries.
