OMG Poor girl

**MajesticCollies** · 02-27-2009, 10:06 PM

We were expecting a new Foster Zoe to come in but an emergency collie just came in and they are rushing her to my house to start immediate treatment on this poor girl. We are saddened by what this owner has let her get to but this is why our rescue steps in. Here is this poor girl. Looks like a very busy weekend for me. The owner surrendered her to the pound and asked that they put her down. Just another irresponsible pet owner. This just sickens and saddens me and Pi$$e$ me off.

OH. MY. DOG! How can you stand it, Tim? I'd be trying to find that owner and tear him limb from limb.

So when does this one arrive? Is this all mange or something else?

God Bless you as you begin work with this dear one.

It shows all the signs of Mange but won't know till monday. I just want to give her a Oatmeal bath and give her a capstar just in case it was fleas and go from there until Monday. We will get her scraped and take a look under the scope. If it is Mange I will give her a Amitraz power wash bath and start some holistics on her to boost her Immune system.

Poor little girl. I am glad she is with you know, and can work on healing body, skin, and soul.

Oh, dear..... Poor girl. I am so glad your rescue saved her.... She will thrive in your care. I hope if it is mange, that it is demodex..... But I hope it is nothing serious. Please keep us posted. I know how difficult this is for you and how angry you are....sometimes I just wish I can go and knock some heads....but I have too many rescue babies to care for that I can not end up in jail! LOL! What is this gal's name?

No name yet or info. She should be arriving to my house tonight.

Bless you Tim for rescuing her. Best of luck in making her well again.

It's criminal for anyone to let an animal get in to such a state as she is in. That poor baby. Here's hoping that you can nurse her back to health quickly. I have a soft spot for collies and shelties - they definitely are "Majestic", beautiful dogs!

OK I went and got the white collie today since noone else wanted to. She has no Name so we quickly came up with ginger due to her colorful spots. I will get her to the vet asap but I think positively she has Malassezia Infection. (Yeast infection) Highly treatable with high Immune holistics and a natural diet. We bathed her with a medicated shampoo and then drenched her with baking soda mixed with water to cut down on the itching. She ate real well tonight and is in good spirits. She is very sweet and lovable. She is 6 yrs old. Here's Ginger at my house.

Oh my, poor sweet girl...her skin looks awful.

I'm sure she will blossom in your care!

I am just horrified at the condition of this sweet girl. Please take good care of her and give her a hug and kiss from me. Makes me so sad. No dogger deserves to be neglected like this.
