When Middletown Animal Hospital examined a dog today for Animal Control we decided to step in and take over providing care to a dog in need to avoid unnecessary euthanasia. The dog had been confiscated after the owners did not provide veterinary care and allowed her to suffer following a dog attack that left her without an ear. She will be treated, spayed, vaccinated, and then kept with Orphandog for adoption.
2 weeks later: After 2 surgeries to repair the accesses that had formed under her mutilated ear, she is doing well and will go to Orphandog to be adopted to a new home with someone who can care for her. She is super sweet and deserves a 2nd chance. Middletown Animal Hospital also surgically repaired a condition called a "hooded vulva" where the area is inflamed and gets frequent infections. All treatment was done pro-bono.
She was a trooper throughout all of the surgeries and bandage changes. Because she was being treated by the staff of Middletown Animal Hospital for so long, a staff member became very attached to her and elected to adopt her. Now she is still part of our family!
