When the rescue team at Animal Aid Unlimited, India got a call on their helpline about a street dog whose face was terribly swollen, they sprung into action to see how they could be of service. They tracked down the dog and found that the caller’s description was more than accurate.
The poor dog’s entire face had ballooned up which looked incredibly painful for the dog. His face was so big that he looked more like a hog than a dog.
When the rescue staff arrived, the deformed dog had walked right up to one of them. He wasn’t scared or anything. It seemed as though he was looking for help. The rescuers went and gave him some food, and his mouth drooled and spilled out saliva as he ate.
His ailment seemed to be affecting his ability to eat.
Though the dog was friendly, he wouldn’t let the staff touch him. So, they had to catch him with a net. He wasn’t too happy about that but they did their best to calm the dog while he was in their care.
He was taken to see a vet who discovered that he had a giant abscess. She drained the giant abscess that was coming out of the side of his left face which was filled with blood and puss.
The rescue team had to shave his face and clean his wounds out, while the dog was put to sleep. They then had to perform a surgery to cut it open. Blood and puss gushed out of the wound like a river. It seemed as if there was a gallon of fluid that came out.
It was a pretty horrifying sight.
The vet had to insert a drainage tube and suture up his wound. When the procedure was over he looked like a completely different dog. The transformation was absolutely unbelievable.
Just two weeks later, the dog was back to his normal self. Looking happy and quite healthy. But now he was getting love and attention that he never knew while living on the streets.
He even smiles now!
