Istenem ki tehet ilyet?

2014.07.16 11:09

Kinek van szíve ilyet tenni és ki tudja ez könnyes szem nélkül nézni?

Volt nekem egy szép kutyuskám,
úgy hívták, hogy Cézár.
Ha idegen közelített,
sosem tűrte némán.

Ide-oda szaladgálva
naponta a kertbe`,
a szomszédok cicuskáit
világgá kergette.

Oly boldogan közeledett,
ha meglátott engem.
Nyalogatta a kezemet,
mikor megetettem.

Telt az idő, s bundácskája
fakó s fénytelen lett.
Tettem elé ételt bőven,
de neki nem kellett.

Szomorúan pislogott rám
nagy barna szemével.
Fakó szeme ezt üzente:
gazdi, nekem végem!

Végül aztán az orvostól
injekciót kapott.
Háza előtt zöld pázsiton
örökre elaludt.

Bánatomat szétkürtölöm
az egész világon.
Nem lesz nekem soha többé
ilyen jó barátom!

 
KJUST WHEN YOU THINK IT COULDN’T GET WORSE… WE COME ACROSS THIS TORTURED SOUL.

While at an open access shelter tonight to pick up an abused and neglected male pittie puppy, now named Asphalt, we came across this jaw dropping emaciated girl.

Wearing an over-sized metal chain-link around her neck, she was found tied up in the backyard on the south side of Chicago. She is defeated, terrified and has lost any sense of hope… she is truly somebody’s leftover. 

Knowing the severity of her medical condition, TAF took her with us and brought her straight to the vet.  As of tonight, she is hospitalized on IV fluids and is receiving supportive care in the hopes that her body does not start to shut down.  For tonight… we just need to pray and wait. 

Before we left the hospital, we decided to name her Elsa… for she does not yet realize the beauty that lies within.

TAF is asking for donations to help cover this Elsa’s medical expenses. If you can help TAF raise the money to cover the hospitalization of Elsa, we would really appreciate it. Any tax-deductible donations can be made at www.trioanimalfoundation.org by clinking on the “DONATE” button.  If you are making a donation via your smartphone, for some reason Paypal does not give you the option to earmark your donation.  However, you can forward your donation confirmation to sue@trioanimalfoundation.org and I will make sure that it is appropriately applied to Elsa’s care. If you would rather mail in a donation, please send a check to: Trio Animal Foundation, 516 N. Ogden Ave. Suite #199, Chicago, IL 60642.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for sharing. 

ELSA UPDATE 7/11/14:

We have some bad news about Elsa… her vet just called and she is not doing well. Elsa is weighing in at 21 pounds when she should be more like 45 pounds. The side effects of Elsa’s emaciated state, caused by starvation, has left her severely anemic, lethargic and with extremely low overall protein levels.

Elsa’s vet did an ultrasound to see if he could detect anything abnormal in her abdomen. He found a large amount of fluid and will be taking a few aspirate samples to determine what the fluid is. If it's blood, our girl may be in a lot of trouble as the blood could be from internal bleeding either from trauma (like being kicked) or from something going on with her body. If it's not blood and is just fluid, the buildup may be because of her severe anemia which can cause ascites (fluid build up.) This would be similar to somebody who is going into kidney failure.

At this point, she is really in such bad shape and it is difficult to discern what is really going on. Under close medical supervision, she will continue to have tests throughout the day and another ultrasound in a few hours. We will keep you updated as the day goes on.

Please please please keep continue to keep Elsa in your thoughts and prayers as she in for the fight of her life.

ELSA UPDATE 7/12/14: Elsa has stabilized and her body is starting to reproduce red blood cells. The best news of the morning is that she was able to eat a little food and drink some water on her own.

ELSA UPDATE 7/13/14: Elsa is still holding her own and is continuing to eat and drink in small amounts. Knowing that she is too emaciated for exploratory surgery on her belly, she will have another ultrasound tomorrow morning and we will continue to hope and pray for the best. Until then, she will remain on supportive care and be carefully monitored. This little pup has not given up yet.

ELSA UPDATE 7/15/14:

Even though Elsa still acts defeated, something deep inside must be telling her to hold on. She is still extremely lethargic and can't sit up for very long without collapsing into whomever's lap is closest. If you are not near her, she will just let her head hang down low and shut her eyes. It is truly one of the most depressing things to witness. 

The next two weeks are going to be very challenging for our girl. Since she is so painfully thin we have to be very concerned about parvo and will be prophylactically treating her with medication to help maintain the integrity of her digestive tract with supplements and antibiotics. She will be fed special, bland meals along with several vitamins to help provide support to her system. 

We also have to keep a close watch to be sure she doesn't developed pneumonia or any other upper respiratory illnesses. The stress of being in shelter combined with the exposure to a variety of illnesses can be awfully hard to handle for an emaciated dog like Elsa since she has no reserves to fight off any infections. 

When we left Elsa tonight, she was sleeping soundly curled up in a in a soft comforter. Unless something happens, I will post Elsa’s next update Thursday evening after her ultrasound.

Please continue to keep Elsa in your thoughts and prayers… thanks.
