Marcel – Adopt a Stray

Marcel

On 7 May 2024, under our "Adopt a Stray" programme, we rescued a dog with a very badly infected head wound.  He is called Marcel.  It will take some time to treat the wound, as maggots had already started to multiply.  We had to hope we got them all out and the medication would begin to have an affect.

We took out as much dead and infected tissue as we could, and closed up his wound, dressing his head in an attractive yellow gauze bandage!  We use high grade manuka honey for its amazing healing properties.  Sadly this is not cheap, but with the help of generous donors, were able to get him back to full fitness.  He returned to his adopter Dani in July 2024.
