Today around 12 pm, a dying dog was left in the KHS parking lot. Someone dropping off wish list donations saw the dog and alerted staff, who rushed him to our Veterinary Services department.
We immediately began working to try to save his life, warming him with heated blankets and warm IV fluids.
Ethan, as we have named him, was so weak he could not lift his head. He is the thinnest dog we have ever seen that was still breathing
This rack of bones weighs just 38 pounds, when he should be about 80 pounds. The outline of every bone can be seen from his dehydrated skin, and his muscle loss is extreme, as his body tried to find any fuel to survive. Ethan was also filthy from feces and urine.
After a period of care, bathing and special examination, the poor dog from that day now has a new look.
Thanks God!
