SABRINA’S ORDEAL & RECOVERY:
Sabrina had diesel fuel poured on her in an attempt to cure her of the mange. Unfortunately, diesel is toxic. Initial Diagnoses: Demodex mange; covered in fleas; mild heartworm positive; malnourished; bloody, scabby, scaly, inflamed skin; missing approx. 70% of her hair; tapeworms…
TODAY, Sabrina is doing VERY well! Her weekly mange shots are finished. A few scars remain where she scratched and bled. In those patches, hair is thin or absent, so time will tell if they fully recover. Her tape worms and ear mites have cleared up. She underwent two courses of antibiotics during mange treatment to assist with skin infections caused by rejecting the dead mites. She’s vaccinated, spayed and microchipped...
As for her temperament -- this little 30-pound girl SPROINGS up as high as my cheek when I get home from work. She is fun, active, athletic, and loves my older dog dearly (it’s mutual). Sabrina and my younger dog have their Moments, but we're working it out. Sabrina’s house-training is close, but not quite there. She’s very happy to have a soft bed, a roof, food in her belly and fresh water to drink. She loves to de-stuff all stuffed animals.
HELP MORE FORGOTTEN ANIMALS OF NEW ORLEANS:
Each animal we heal is living proof of our vital support network.
Because of generous donors, Sabrina’s $1300+ medical expenses are covered! But our rescue work continues, specifically: Trapping a dog with an embedded collar seen running NOLA streets with blood on her chest. Another wandering dog seems to have an older broken leg... Both need medical care, once trapped. Moreover, we’re deep into kitten season, with over 50% of female cats spayed at SAF found pregnant and 30 of 32 females at ARK pregnant... 100+ kittens in foster await adoption... Please support any NOLA rescue groups. For suggestions about where/how to help, email: nolacats [at] gmail.com
