Sweet Beatrice was found as a stray in Sacramento County with a huge
mass on her ear. Despite this obvious discomfort, she loved everyone
she met! She quickly became a volunteer favorite, and TEAM was
contacted to see if we could fund her care. TEAM is passionate about
working with shelter staff to secure foster homes for all TEAM-funded
animals so that they can recover comfortably in a home. Thankfully,
amazing shelter volunteer Wendy stepped up to foster sweet Bea!

With the help of an amazing anonymous donor and community
donations, TEAM was able to fully fund a CT scan to determine the
breadth of the mass, as well as a TECA-BO (Total Ear Canal Ablation and
Bulla Osteotomy). This surgery involves the complete removal of the ear
canal and tympanic bulla (middle ear), leaving only the ear flap (pinna)
remaining. The mass was biopsied, and it was determined that it was the
result of an E. coli bacterial infection. Beatrice subsequently went
through a series of IV antibiotic injections to ensure the mass did not
come back. TEAM is also very thankful for the amazing staff at the VCA
Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center, and especially her treating
DVM, Dr. Spencer Yeh!

Beatrice has now been adopted by her second foster, Tiffany, and has a
wonderful life up in Placerville, smelling all the smells!
