"This dog was sold to a slaughterhouse while suffering from red mange, and its body twitched uncontrollably, likely due to the aftermath of distemper. It's unclear how the dog managed to escape, but it roamed the streets for ten days. In the first few days, a security guard near a bank reported that the dog only appeared at night to scavenge for food, but it couldn't eat much due to a tied-up muzzle. After a week, it reappeared with the muzzle tie gone, leaving a scar around its snout where fur had been ripped off. The dog became less fearful and would wander the streets during the day, eating whatever it could find but not approaching anyone to beg for food. 😢
Many people alerted us to rescue this case, but usually, when we heard about it, we couldn't find the dog as it disappeared, and when we asked around, no one paid attention to the dog's whereabouts. 😞 It was only when a friend reported on the fifth attempt, patiently approaching and holding onto the dog, that we finally arrived in time to pick up the dog.
The dog was admitted in a state of complete exhaustion, trembling from hunger. Its breathing was shallow due to weakness, even though there were no respiratory issues. The doctor provided oxygen and intravenous fluids to help the dog breathe. The dog was severely emaciated, with a shrunken belly from prolonged starvation, revealing its ribcage. Its fur was dry and shedding in patches every time the doctor touched it during the examination. Blood tests revealed both anemia and a parasitic infection. Therefore, our priority was to address the blood-related issues before administering medication for demodex mange.
Thankfully, after receiving fluids and regaining some strength, the dog voluntarily ate a little bit of ground meat porridge. In cases like this, where the dog has been starving for a long time, our biggest fear is when they refuse to eat. If a dog is still willing to eat, it means they want to live. No matter the ailment, there's always a treatment protocol, but a loss of appetite is usually a sign of a more profound issue, and that's very concerning. 😮💨We hope that many people will have compassion for this resilient yet frail frame and support the hospital expenses for the dog. This way, can confidently provide the necessary care, and we can continue to run out to the streets to pick up more cases in need of urgent attention and long-term treatment. Thank you all so much!"
