“Mika’s Miracle: From Suffering Stray to Beloved Companion”
A tiny dog with a severely swollen face, named Mika, was spotted on a security camera. She was found with a piece of cloth or collar deeply embedded into her neck, causing her head to swell. Mika was wandering from door to door, seemingly begging for help. When her rescuers saw her dire condition, they acted immediately, knowing she was close to death. Mika was rushed to the vet, and her journey to recovery began.
The embedded object was removed after a nearly 6-hour surgery, which Mika handled incredibly well, despite the risk of anesthesia complications. Following the surgery, she was placed in an HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) chamber to assist her healing and alleviate her pain. Mika’s medical team worked tirelessly, administering IV fluids, antibiotics, and pain management.
Over the next few days, Mika began to heal. She started eating again and slowly learned to trust humans. Her transformation from a frightened, injured dog to a happy, silly, and loving companion was remarkable. Dr. Miranda and Dr. Yao, members of Mika’s surgery team, grew so attached to her that they offered to adopt her and give her a forever home.
Mika’s recovery continued beautifully. Three months later, she was thriving, enjoying her new life with her adoptive family. Though still fearful outside, Mika found comfort in the company of other dogs and became a loving member of her new household. Her story is a testament to the power of love, care, and compassion, with her rescuers and medical team helping her overcome unimaginable suffering and giving her the life she truly deserved.
