Kelsie
Kelsie, an 11-year-old mixed breed
dog, survived for five weeks in a flooded house with no food.
Kelsie was treated for starvation and dehydration and was
fostered by one of the LSU veterinary medical residents until she could
rejoin her family.
Like many
families, Kelsie’s owners did not anticipate the intensity of storm damage
and did not plan on being separated from their pet for such a long time.
 Kelsie’s owner said, “We left her with food and water in her room, but she
was found in my bedroom on top of two mattresses and a box spring. The
door was wedged shut, and Kelsie couldn’t get out to get food.
“My mother
and sister rescued Kelsie and brought her to LSU. We are so happy to see
her... It’s a true blessing that she survived.”
