This dog, later named Blossom, was found by a volunteer from OrphanPet in Greece. She was a stray and had been wandering the streets for weeks and maybe even months. The poor pup was in heart-breaking shape.
A chain wire had become lodged in her tail and had been there for a long time. Because the chain was so tightly wrapped around her tail, it grew enormously bloated!
And to make matters worse, she was also covered in thousands of ticks. They did a blood test and discovered that her blood was so thin due to the ticks. If they hadn’t rescued her, she wouldn’t have survived much longer. Blossom’s time was running out,and they knew they had to help her as soon as possible.
After they brought her in, they gave her a blood transfusion and wound up having to amputate her tail. They worked hard and carefully to remove as many ticks as they could one by one, but it took about a week to remove every single dead one.
Her transformation is truly astonishing. She’s now in excellent health and has made some new canine friends along the way. And the best part is that she was adopted.
Today, she’s living in her forever home and is enjoying her second chance at life. If this volunteer didn’t find her and bring her in, she would never have survived. Thank goodness for these kind rescuers at OrphanPet
Her rescue can be seen in the video below. It’s simply amazing.
