WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, ELSA!

• Elsa is a beautiful adult female Cocker Spaniel. Presumed to be a hit-by-car dog, she was rescued from the LA County Carson Shelter on January 11, and taken directly to the VCA in anticipation of orthopedic surgery.

• Elsa was picked up by animal control with duct tape wrapped around a fractured leg. :( The shelter sent her to an outside vet for x-rays and removal of the duct-taped bandages, which were replaced with a soft cast while she awaited further treatment.

• Elsa saw a surgical specialist who repaired her radial ulna fracture, and she is now receiving post-op therapy in her foster home with Hershey & Violet.

• Elsa has been sweet and friendly with her foster-siblings - and all of her care providers. What a good girl! Her age estimate* is about 6-8 years old, and she weighs about 22 pounds.

• UPDATE: Elsa will get her 8-week-post-op x-rays on March 17, and will then be ready to move to her forever home - so don’t delay in getting your applications in for this very special girl! Elsa will need once-a-week physical therapy sessions, which will be sponsored by Camp Cocker, for 8 weeks following her adoption.

• UPDATE #2 (3/20/23): Elsa’s 8-week post-op xrays show the need for a bone graft to strengthen and secure the break in her ulna. So the process will begin again, with surgery, followed by 8 weeks of physical therapy, and another set of post-op xrays. In the meantime, Elsa is a trooper, and as good-natured as always!

*Please note that any age provided is only an estimate, based on veterinary examination.
