Dr. Cruz Mobile Vet Clinic...February 2016

The monthly mobile vet clinic conducted by Dr. Cruz and his staff took place on Monday, Feb. 22 (surgeries) and Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2016 (vaccines and consults). We thank Jim and Barbara Peterson for providing their residence as the venue for all the fury patients.

The February clinic saw 26 cats and 3 dogs neutered/sterilized. 24 animals were seen for consultation and vaccines. FCA sponsors the TNR (Trap Neuter Release) program for Culebra's feral cats. FCA also sponsors a Foster program for cats and dogs that are in need of finding permanent loving forever homes.

We cannot thank Dr. Cruz and his staff enough for coming over on the ferry every month to set up and conduct his much needed clinic. A big thank you to all, including the volunteers, for their tremendous efforts in providing hard work before, during, and after each monthly clinic. For lack of recent photos we include one from a previous clinic...Cruz Veterinary Services...doing wonders for Culebra and its animals :)

Hah...someone did take photos, so here they are :) Thank you Scott!

Whyki

Fairytales Do Come True
If there were fairytales for animals, Whyki would be the protagonist, Culebra the setting, and Helena and Dr. Cruz the heroes. Rescued from near death in March 2015, Whyki has made a full recovery having been peppered by a pellet gun and testing positive for heartworm. Dr. Cruz’s first Culebra mobile vet clinic was held in March 2015 at the time that Whyki sustained these injuries and his team got right to work once setting up their mobile unit at the library. Whyki was placed on IVs overnight to hydrate him along with a cocktail of other medication for comfort and infection. Helena nursed Whyki back to health over the next few months. Tattered ears like a mop, lumps from where the pellets were removed, underweight ... we never knew his ears were such a lovely caramel color to match his caramel spots.  Today, his white coat sparkles, his amber eyes are clear, his disposition is affectionate and playful, and we now call him Sir Whyki of Cohasset (Massachusetts) where he has been adopted by a good friend of Abbie White-Thomas. Tell me this isn’t a fairtytale? Thank you to the many FCA volunteers who were involved with Whyki’s recovery and to our Culebra community for cheering him on.
