The Association for Abandoned Animals (AAA) shared on Facebook that they rescued an abandoned and mistreated dog suffering from severe anaemia.
Describing the dog’s condition, AAA stated that he was a heartbreaking example of pain and neglect.
Upon rescue, the first priority was to take him to a vet for immediate medical attention, where blood tests confirmed that he was both anaemic and positive for Leishmania (sandfly disease).
Given his severe malnutrition, further tests will be conducted to assess whether his kidneys are functioning properly.
Despite his fragile state, the dog has managed to eat for two consecutive days, giving rescuers hope for his recovery. AAA remains committed to his care, ensuring he receives the medical support and nourishment needed to regain his strength.
In their post, AAA condemned the neglect that led to his suffering, highlighting the ongoing issue of irresponsible pet ownership.
They expressed frustration at people who take in animals only to abandon them, emphasising the urgent need for greater awareness and accountability.
