POOR KARINA!! Yesterday on our way to the shelter, we saw this dog, almost furless (scabies condition), standing at the edge of a bridge , staring down for a long time into a river, we reckon she must be thirsty and could not figure out how to drink the river water. We got down from the car and brought her water and rice. She ate hungrily and drank thirstily. She was a pitiful sight, she has a bloated stomach, her body was infested with fleas and ticks, her eyes were also covered with thick discharge. We decided to bring her to vet for treatment. She was diagnosed to have no distemper and no heartworm but she has tick fever which requires medication of 28 days of Doxyclyllin. A blood test indicated low protein which could cause the bloated stomach . We have to boost up her protein level by giving her very nutritious food. After the vet visit, she is placed for foster care with one of the volunteers. After we have spayed her with Frontline that kills hundred of ticks and fleas, she slept with some peace at last. We know she will recover in a few weeks time, after that, we will put her at the shelter, she will never need to roam around in vain for food and water again! If you think you want to help this black female dog whom we name Karina, you can sponsor her upkeep for RM50 a month or make a one-off donation for her medical expenses, please pm us or bank your contribution to our Maybank account number 5628 5210 4418 under the name of Second Chance Animal Society.
