??? SOPHIA

Sophia was rescued from Batu Pahat (BP) by our volunteer recently. She was lying side way, with stinky smell from her seriously injured foreleg. The wounds were badly infected and full with pus, even with broken bones stuck out from the flesh. We can barely see any motivation for life in her eyes but only great pain, hopeless and loneliness…. Do you want to know why Sophia was in this stage of life? According to the locals, this is all thanks to the dog catchers from local council, her broken fore legs were beaten by them! The residents in the area did bring Sophia to seek medical attention but unfortunately none follow up on her condition and give her the needed medical attention which led to the badly infected wounds. The pity dog can only lay down side way and not being able to move for a long time. She even stay in this position whenever she eat, drink, defecate and urinate… The simple bandage on her legs and wound had also became wet and stunk… Our volunteer immediately rush Sophia down to JB for a comprehensive checkup. Sophia’s left foreleg was broken and the bone was sticking out. Her right foreleg seem to be in better condition but it was not true in actual fact. The right foreleg was broken to 3 parts! The paw had became rotten because of bad blood circulation and with maggot infection. We also spotted bleeding from her genital. We suspected miscarriage but it was diagnosed as pyometra after the ultrasound. This can only be cure by surgical removal of uterus but this surgery is too risky for Sophia as she is an old dog with estimated age of 7y/o. We would also like to take this opportunity to urge dog owner to spay their pet to prevent this from happening. Vet estimated Sophia’s 2 weeks hospitalization and medical cost would mount up to RM3000. As we are preparing to raise fund for Sophia and wish her speedy recovery, we were greeted with a bad news the next morning.. Sophia has left us and was beaten by the seriously stage of illness.. Let’s wish Sophia happiness over the rainbow bridge…
