Severely Neglected Dog Is Hopeless & Terrified – Until Rescuers Save Her Life
When Violet, a Shih-Tzu/Terrier mix puppy was attacked by another dog, her owners decided to try to nurse her back to health at their home instead of taking her straight to the vet. Her injuries included lacerations to her throat and ear, an infection, and a wounded leg, writes thepetneeds
WARNING: Graphic CONTENT!
Needless to say, Violet’s owners were unable to help her at home and surrendered her to a shelter to be euthanized.
Thankfully, Violet was taken in by the amazing people at Vet Ranch Rescue, a non-profit organization of veterinarians who perform everything from vaccinations to surgeries on homeless or abandoned animals with treatable ailments/injuries in hopes of helping them find a forever home.
Violet was one of the most severe cases they had ever seen.
The vets were able to disinfect Violet’s ear, suture her open wounds, and bind her leg in time to prevent any long lasting damage aside from a head tilt she may live with for the rest of her life. She was kept under strict observation for almost two weeks, but slowly she began to heal and come out of her shell.
In the end, Violet made an almost full recovery (the head-tilt still remains) and is ready to be adopted!
