Special Needs Animal Care

Meet Noodle, one of the many special needs animals that comes into BC SPCA care. One look at this big floofy boy and your heart instantly melts, but behind his kind eyes, Noodle hides horrific pain. He has been suffering for some time with a skin condition that has left his flesh raw.

Noodle's day starts and ends the day with his many prescription pills. You have to soak his swollen feet twice per day in Epsom salts and 3 tsp of his medicated shampoo, let it sit for 30 seconds, then rinse and dry with a towel.

His feet are very damaged. They are red, inflamed and split on the front pads, where big scabs have formed. The pain makes him limp quite badly, so he can only go for short walks.

Special needs animals require extra time and care. Staff often personally foster them to make sure all their unique needs are met around the clock. We were very lucky to find a foster with the room and time for Noodle!

This gift provides around the clock care for a day, for a special needs animal.
