Animal Aid Unlimited received an emergency call to save an elderly dog that was stuck in a drainage system. The unfortunate pooch had slipped and fallen into the drain while trying to alleviate its agony, resulting in a severe injury and a swarm of maggots infesting its body.
The senior pup was experiencing a variety of health issues such as tooth loss, arthritis, and a severe cut on his back which caused him significant distress. Given his fragile state, it was necessary to extract him from the drain with utmost care before he could be transported to the veterinary clinic for medical attention. The veterinary professionals administered pain relief medication and intravenous treatment to address the infestation of maggots.
Watching the dog devour his meal with gusto and seeing his injury heal rapidly over the course of a few weeks brought them immense solace. It’s clear that without their intervention, he would not have lasted much longer.
