Chip was admitted after sustaining multiple deep traumatic wounds believed to have been caused by machinery.
The most severe injuries are concentrated around the head and throat area, with extensive tissue damage requiring ongoing wound management, cleaning, medication, and close veterinary supervision.
Chip is currently undergoing difficult treatment and remains in a fragile condition.
Blood test results have also indicated a serious underlying infection which is now being investigated further by the veterinary team. Due to the severity of the wounds and the infection markers present in the bloodwork, Chip requires intensive monitoring while treatment plans continue to be adjusted based on her response and overall stability.
At this stage, the focus remains on:
- infection control
- wound management
- pain relief
- stabilisation
- ongoing assessment of tissue healing
Chip’s condition remains serious and her recovery is expected to be challenging.
Testing has shown significant anaemia alongside indicators consistent with a substantial underlying infection or inflammatory response. Platelet levels are also slightly reduced, increasing concern around Chip’s overall condition and healing ability while treatment continues.
