Astrid
On 29 May 2021, we picked up a female dog who had Mange, was malnourished, and had a terrible case of Transmissible Venereal Cancer that had become infected with maggots.
Astrid after rescue
We conducted surgery to clean her wounds and prepare her for further treatment, and gave her antibiotics and pain relief. Despite our best efforts, she survived in as much comfort as we could provide before passing away quietly on Monday 1 June 2021. We can only hope she experienced a few short pain-free final days. The kind donations we received to help with her care will benefit the many other dogs battling their inflictions, not least our current Distemper scare.
