... I am currently fostering a puppy dog who is in very bad shape. She is from 'Up North'...and has been brought to the Pet Rescue Shelter in wpg because she most likely lived in a very unloving place.
When she came, the vets told us she had "dermamites", and that they were not contagious, she had medication, and they would go away soon. Well, by the time she started looking better, we had noticed the medication made her not eat well... so we took her off it and let her be. Well... it got infected again, and when we brought her back to the vets, they told us this time that it was "Dog acne that got infected."
Let me give you a description of how this puppy's skin looks... Underneath her chin, there is nothing but mucous and puss and swollen skin which honestly looks the same as a mushed and opened peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. She has infections near her eyes and all over her paws, where the skin is rubbed raw because she's itchy all the time.
The sores are always opening up and bleeding over and over because she tries to rub them against the floor and all. Its the saddest thing.. I wish I could help her more...
...The vets also told us... 3 different vets...
That since she's so young, (6 months old) she may not have a strong enough immune system to fight off the infection. ..And if that's the case, then they're going to put her down.:dis:
I am at school right now and I am very worried about her... I wish I could be at home with her all the time. I hate seeing this type of thing, shes such a damn sweetheart and she doesnt deserve to have to suffer like this. Please... PLEASE send us as much energy as you can... Im giving all the energy Ive got to her...for hours last night I just lyed there while she slept on my tummy and snored and I tried to give her energy that would soothe her (bright blue). If you have any suggestions of things I could try to help strengthen her... I know that since she's out of the kennel she's finally getting the sleep she needs... but if there's anything else that anyone could think of, it would be muchly appreciated.
