Kirby

We got a report on 13 October 2024 about a very old dog, who had 1 eye missing and half his front leg missing.  It was not a clean cut, so we think it was likely mangled in a car accident and got infected. The poor old soul already had maggots eating his flesh.
We just couldn't leave him. No one else was going to help him, although the person who reported him thankfully picked him up and kept him safe for the night until we could pick him up.
We called him Kirby.
His red blood cells are dangerously low, so we bought plasma and put him on epoetin, which boosts red blood cell production.
We thought he was turning a corner as he began to eat again, but just three days later he passed way.  We did our best to make his last few days comfortable.
