DOG RESCUED WITH MAGGOT-INFESTED EARS

DOG RESCUED WITH MAGGOT-INFESTED EARS

In August 2018, Harvey was rescued with severe, maggot-infested ears. Our veterinary team worked hard over 6 months to treat him. As his ear infection persisted despite valiant efforts, we decided to send samples from his ear to an overseas laboratory and discovered he had a multidrug-resistant bacteria in both ears. One of his ears had to be amputated.

With Amber Compounding Pharmacy, we customised medications for him and after a year of treatment at SPCA, he found his forever home in August 2019.

His new owner told us, “Harvey is a survivor with a fighting spirit. His eight years of life must’ve been tough. When we visited the SPCA, we first noticed his kind, gentle eyes as he lay in his enclosure, watching us calmly. When no one else was within earshot, I knelt down and spoke to him. I assured him that I understood his apprehension, and having gone through some tough times myself, I sensed his pain and fear.”

“I promised him we’d take care of him from now on. We’d look after each other. He smiled and wagged his tail. With that pact, it was decided right there. Welcome home, buddy.”
