Puppy Found Unimaginably Thin, Fighting for Life
15 Jan
Summary
- A two-year-old dog named Dolly was found severely emaciated and weak.
- Veterinarians discovered wounds on her feet and tail, along with other health issues.
- Dolly received critical care and is expected to remain in intensive care for a week.
A two-year-old dog, identified as Dolly, was discovered in a critical state outdoors in Lexington. Upon arrival at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, she was described as "unbelievably thin and too weak to stand up." Veterinarians also treated wounds on her feet and tail, indicating severe neglect.
During her treatment in the intensive care unit, Dolly experienced several seizures, believed to be caused by low blood sugar. She also suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding of unknown origin. Doctors anticipate she will remain hospitalized for at least one week until her condition stabilizes and she can walk independently.
MSPCA-Angell is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying Dolly's owner. Despite her harrowing experience, staff report that Dolly is an incredibly sweet dog. They hope she will eventually find a loving adoptive family once she has fully recovered.
