Meet Kichõ!
She has an owner. She has been severely neglected & abused to the point she screams when people come within 4 metres of her yet.
She's terrified, broken, withdrawn, emancipated & chronically ill on all levels.
Kichõ is lonely and sad and she is getting weaker and weaker.
She's very reserved. Expected. She's withdrawn & exhausted.
She's going to take a lot of work & time to heal.
She's over a year old & only weighs 4.65kgs for a medium sized dog.. Truthfully?
She's safe & off the streets & away from all the abuse & neglect now.
She will only know love & kindness. That I promise.
On admittance, the vet & I instantly agreed Kichõ should go on IV fluids.
Kichõ was immediately given a shot of Ivermectin as she has chronic Scabies & Mange.
This was given for a slight immediate relief until she's stabilised. Then she'll receive Bravecto.
She's also started her three day intense worming & is being fed small portions of food a few times a day to build her strength & appetite up.
Please keep Kichõ in your thoughts. She's not out of the clear yet but I feel she's a fighter.
Seems the stronger antibiotics are working. Big difference from yesterday.
Her skin looks less infected, red raw & uncomfortable.
Hopefully she's stabilising & will be able to receive Bravecto to rid of the horrid Scabies & Demodex Mange.
I'm sure she's starting to gain weight too!
She's so beautiful. Her eyes are so beautiful. She's making eye contact & engaging more.
So lovely to see her standing up albeit still a scrawny little thing.
Kichõ is such a beautiful girl with so much trust, love, heart & forgiveness to give.
Kichõ is smiling.... we are very satisfied to witness this happy moment.
These 2 instantly hit it off when they met & love to play & get into as much mischief as possible.
They're happy in their safe house & can be seen playing all day with their little nails tip tapping on the ceramic floor.
