From Umbrella of Hope

✨ PLEASE MEET MOONCALF — OUR NEWEST FANTASTIC BEAST ✨ Mooncalf is approximately 12 years old, and this tiny senior girl has already endured far more than she ever should have. When she came into Umbrella of Hope Rescue, her diabetes was completely uncontrolled. Her blood glucose was so high that it was literally beyond the range the equipment could measure. She will need insulin injections under the skin twice daily for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, diabetes is only part of her medical story. Mooncalf also has KCS (dry eye) affecting both eyes. This is a painful condition that requires specialized prescription eye medication twice daily to keep her comfortable and help protect her vision. Her skin is also in terrible condition, as you can see in her photos, and we are working to determine the underlying causes and get her comfortable again. She also has a mammary mass along with several other age-related medical concerns that still need evaluation and treatment. And yet, somehow, Mooncalf remains incredibly sweet. She is gentle. She is trusting. She still wants affection. She has every reason in the world to be angry at what life has handed her, and instead she simply…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
