EMERGENCY LIFE SAVING SURGERY NEEDED FOR A YOUNG MUM'S CHANCE OF LIFE
For five weeks, this gorgeous young abandoned Beagle/Pointer mum suffered an agonising pr*****ed uterus after giving birth alone in the Spanish countryside, yet she still searched for food to care for her four puppies. She was brought to our attention after neighbours spotted her between Comares and Benamargosa and a group of us managed to safely capture mum and all four pups. We took them for immediate medical attention to Animal Friends veterinary practise in Velez Malaga where mum underwent surgery. She was severely infected, in pain and underweight. All were treated for flea infestation and given medication for worms. The puppies were very undernourished and prescribed additional medication. Specialist food has also been brought for the dogs totalling $100 (receipt provided).
Unfortunately mum's initial surgery failed and a second surgery including the use of stitches was performed. This cost €155. Unfortunately, during the night the dog became quite distressed and it was clear that something wasn’t right. She was taken first thing in the morning back to the vets who said the dogs only options were a specialist operation at a university hospital or to be put to sleep.
At Malaga Animal Rescue we believe every animal we care for deserves the absolute best chance of life. Therefore there was no question that we would be taking the dog to a university hospital.
The dog is currently in surgery as we speak undergoing an emergency hysterectomy at the world-renowned hospital AniCura Bahía de Málaga Referencia Veterinaria of Carlos Macias,
a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons specialist. Once there, the surgeon told us she would have died if we hadn't brought her as she could not urinate unaided. The cost of her emergency surgery is €813.76 (receipt provided).
Due to the delicate nature of the dogs condition, it has been decided that to give her the best chance of survival she should stay in hospital with a sitting nurse and doctor so any complications could be dealt with immediately. She will be staying for 3 nights. The cost of which is estimated at €50 / night (this is yet to be paid for - a receipt will be posted).
The dog and puppies will be fostered by us until they can all be safely homed.
In the mean time, any and all donations would be greatly appreciated. MAR are a not-for-profit independent collective and felt totally on donations. We know that times are really tough at the moment and nobody is exempt from the challenges currently faced with the cost of living, but even €5 makes a huge difference and allows us to keep on rescuing and providing the best care possible for all animals that come to us.
Whilst she is recovering, we invite you to bid to choose her name for €5!
Thank you all for your support.
