This poor little soul was found sitting by the roadside curb and according to eyewitnesses, she had been
there all day. A kind lady took her home in the evening and eventually
handed the dog to us. We immediately took her to the vet.
After
a series of blood tests, we found out that she has hypoglycemia and is
anemic - which probably explains why she had sat by the kerb all day -
she was too weak to move! Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. She must be
hungry - poor little soul.
Apart
from this, she has a host of issues - extremely dry eyes that have
caused her eyes to become bloodshot, rotten teeth, gingivitis that make
her gums extremely red and sore, severe skin and ear infection that
looks untreated for a long time, and a lump on the right side of her
neck.
Her vitals are normal. She is stable and safe now.
Apart
from bloodwork and a spinal xray for her, on the cards is also a
cardiac and abdomen ultrasound as well as a much needed dental scaling.
Her poor dental health is one reason her bloods is showing chronic
infection.
And
like most of our rescues, despite being in a bad state, she is still
the sweetest. (Because of her recent experience, she is slightly anxious
and clingy and we can understand why she feels that way 
.)
.)We hope time will heal her and she will be able to eventually love and smile again.
We have named her Sydnie.
Based on the horrible state that she was found in, the vets estimated her to be about 8 to 10 years old. We know that many of our supporters will band together to help this sweet little doggy and help her feel better and loved again.
