Maggy the stray pup

Maggy came to us in much poorer condition than our beloved Homer. Homer passed away after eleven wonderful years. He had some type of cancer, he was loved with all of our hearts.

Day 3

She also appears to have an intermittent problem with her left foot. Only when she is eating it balls up. Might be nothing but will ask her vet.

Not much improvement, Maggy is still sleeping a lot. Her eyes are still clogged with yellow mucus which I remove constantly and apply eye wash and eye gel. She is weak and poops but doesn't pee much. The vet says she is very dehydrated and she does drink constantly. I am praying that she gets her appetite back soon.

Day 2

Maggy is on antibiotics and has lost her appetite. She also drinks so much water but doesn't void much at all. She spends most of the time sleeping hard. I did see a spark of puppy for a few moments. She was outside and for just a minute she looked around and had a little pep in her step then it was gone. Her feet are so sore and she bleeds from her poor inflamed skin all of the time.

Maggy the Stray Pup

On Wednesday the 28th of May, Maggy came into my life. She was on the road close to my home and was almost struck by my car. She wobbled into a water filled ditch and I knew that I could not leave her. I luckily carry a vinyl sheet and a flannel sheet and was able to pick her up. She collapsed into my arms and I put her on the sheet. She didn't move for the next hour as I got her to the vet. She was covered with ticks, and open sores. The smell was so pungent and I was afraid that she would die at any moment.

The vet determined that she has Red Mange and that it is severe. She had to be washed..spent over two hours washing and getting ticks off. The the final torture I had to pour sulphur solution on her..it stinks too! She slept for over eight hours after the bath.
