URGENT PLEASE STOP DONATING We have to report the sad news that the dog almost ready to undergo surgery, has sadly passed on quietly this afternoon. €96.00 of the total collected so far has been used for treatments already administrated. Please read the following report from the vet explaining the dogs condition. Report Large breed dog ( Caucasian) was presented in our clinic , 15/07/14. The dog was in an obvious bad state. The most obvious reason for his physical malaise was a very large complicated infected wound. The clinical examination revealed mild fever 39.5, fast heart rate, pale membranes and very weak pulses. These findings in combination with the fact that during his first blood examination a marked neutrophilia was found raising suspicions that the dog suffered from septicaemia. The wound margins began from above the ear and continued ventrally to the thorax. It was covering approximately 25% of the body surface area. The wound was very infected and many fly larvae (maggots) were found. It was calculated that during the first wound cleaning 200 maggots were retrieved!. Many maggots were not able to be removed because they remained hidden in the crypts (holes) they were buried very deep inside the body of the dog. The wound was cleaned thoroughly with Beda tine scrub solutions and ivermectin plus antibiotics were given. During the whole treatment the dog was supported with iv fluid replacement. The wound was thoroughly cleaned twice a day . All the maggots were removed and the wound appeared to be cleaned. However, the physical state of the dog began to deteriorate late yesterday evening. He never regained abnormal appetite and he was unwilling to walk, he did not urinate in spite of the large volume of fluids he received. The kidney parameters were slightly increased and leismania test was negative. Sadly the dog passed away quietly this afternoon 18/07/14. His death was attributed to his bad physical condition and to the toxins the abundant maggots produced to an already fragile organism. For the time being your kind donations will be held in the Paypal account so your contributions will not be in vain, varying cruelty cases come in, tragically, on too often a basis, as the harsh reality has shown us all of late. Hopefully with your permissions we can utilize your donations on another justifying case which we will advise you of accordingly. Thank you for your understanding.
