One thing that is genuinely devastating for any animal rescuer is when they attempt to save a dog, only to discover that it was too late.
It can shatter anyone’s heart into pieces in mere seconds, as they simply wish they could have arrived sooner, hoping it might have made a difference somehow.
And, who can truly say? Perhaps it would have or perhaps not. Ultimately, these unfortunate incidents ought to be averted in the first instance. More efforts need to be undertaken to avert this.
In this narrative, we will discuss two distressed puppies who were forsaken on a hillside in the middle of nowhere beside a rubbish heap.
Puppies Residing In Rubbish
As soon as the rescuers received a notification about two discarded puppies living in the mountains, they rushed to assist.
Upon arrival, they discovered the puppies right next to a substantial rubbish dump. It was an utterly heartbreaking sight.
I can hardly fathom who could be so callous as to abandon them there where they had no chance of survival.
Upon observing the dogs, the rescuers recognized that they were hardly responsive. They didn’t even acknowledge that someone had come to aid them.
They scooped them up and transported them back to the vehicle where they activated the heater to assist them in restoring their body temperature, as the environment they had been in was frigid.
After bringing them to the vet, they examined one of the puppies who was entirely unresponsive, and they sighed in relief upon realizing that she was still breathing.
The other puppy appeared visibly distressed and downcast, merely gazing at the vets with an extremely sorrowful expression.
A Particularly Challenging Recovery
Eventually, the vets determined that one of the dogs could not be saved, and they needed to let her go to prevent further suffering.
Her lungs were filled with blood, likely from being struck by someone. It was simply the most heart-wrenching decision to make, but there were no alternative options.
They were not going to permit the same fate to befall the other dog, now named Lily. During the examination, they discovered that she was afflicted with parvovirus.
This required careful treatment, so they ensured to monitor her closely to guarantee her recovery.
Throughout her treatment, she showed no desire to eat, as it was still causing her digestive issues.
They maintained her on IV throughout the entire recovery process to ensure she received all the essential nutrients.
After approximately 7 days of treatment, she developed an appetite. Lily consumed a substantial amount of food, and her digestive issues were also resolved.
After a little more than a month, Lily had transformed into an almost entirely different dog. Her tail began to wag incessantly, she enjoys playing more frequently, and she eats like a robust dog.
The veterinarians will soon vaccinate her, but following her complete recovery, she will be prepared for adoption.
I sincerely hope that Lily discovers someone who will provide her with the same affection and care as her rescuers. She truly deserves it.
