Pets Of The Week: Meet Olive And Osa

Olive arrived in late May with a brutal injury to her mouth. Española Humane vets determined this tenacious tabby had likely been bitten by a spider in her tongue, and due to the necrosis, much of her tongue had to be amputated. At first she was unable to eat; a tube was inserted into her stomach so she could be fed every few hours, and she was also supported with IV fluids. By some kind of miracle, this 10-month-old itty bitty kitty bounced back. She has half of a tongue remaining, and she can now eat and drink on her own (though she is a little messy). Olive has been nothing but loving and kind since the moment Read More
