Poor dog...

[wolfsoul]

This dog came in to be groomed today. It was a shih tzu that had been surrendered by owners who were severely neglecting it. The poor thing was infested with maggots. They were just eating him alive. Every time the groomer shaved some hair off, more maggots would fall on to the table and start crawling towards her. They were living under this dog's matted hair. It was one of the worst cases I've seen yet, and we get dogs covered head to toe in ticks. This dog must have been living in absolute filth. I don't understand how people can be so cruel.

Did you all call the Humane Society or animal control? What a heartbreaking, sad, terrible, scary story.

Jordan said the dog was surrended.

That poor thing! I don't understand people.

I have only seen maggots on a living animal once in my life. That is something I hope to never see again.

My heart is with that poor little dog. I pray that it can recover from the life that it has had.

That's so sad, poor dog. It's that time of year when people look in their backyard and remember they have this dog that's been rotting on a chain all winter and it needs a haircut. I've seen a lot of really disgusting matted to the skin, with sores, inch long nails, etc but I have not run into maggots yet. I think I would scream. I'm so glad we don't have fleas here I don't think I could be a groomer if we did (I've seen a few flea dogs come from out of state but its rare and I've only seen a tick on one dog ever).

Awful I always wonder how people can just let things like this happen. We had a dog come in with maggots as well because of poo getting stuck in his matted fur. It was awful.
