We rescued Buttercup from Hamilton Animal Control. Her owners signed her over to HAC because of allergies in the family. Soon after Buttercup’s arrival at HAC, it was discovered that the underside of her entire back end was one big mass of poop and the surrounding skin was urine scalded and red. Clearly, her owners were not looking after her properly before they brought her into HAC.
Underneath all that poop, Buttercup’s bum and genitals were extremely red and swollen. It must have been so painful! We took Buttercup straight from HAC to the vet. She was put on two different medications to help her feel better. She had a follow up appointment a couple of weeks later and thankfully she was healthy enough to be spayed.

Buttercup has a lovely personality and she’s quite calm, despite the pain and discomfort she must have been feeling when we first rescued her. She’ll need a forever home who will be able to keep up with maintaining her long hair and be sure she never ends up with a horrible poopy bum again.

Buttercup found her forever home with a lovely family!
