Meet Lucy who began her journey to wellness when rescued from a shelter. Her medical condition was deplorable and she had numerous conditions that needed to be treated. To start, there were terrible skin infections, hookworm, tapeworm, whipworm, yeast infections, food allergies and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in her ear (a serious bacterial infection that is contagious to humans and animals). Two specialists were involved to treat her ear and food allergies. Five different medications, prescription baths, shots twice a day for two weeks were all administered by her dedicated and compassionate foster mom.
Lucy was doing well the first month of her treatments until another culprit was found, an abscess on her shoulder. Another antibiotic and cream to heal the abscess was needed for several weeks. As if this poor girl hadn’t been put through enough, she was diagnosed with a bladder infection which ultimately turned out to be a huge bladder stone. Lucy had surgery to remove the stone getting the relief she so truly deserved and is now starting to enjoy her life.
She has gone from a sick, depressed and lethargic dog to a happy, loving life companion. She has the spring is back in her step and the twinkle shining from her thankful beautiful eyes. After months of treatment and care and to support her special needs at 12 years old, Lucy remains in our Sanctuary program with her loving forever mom
