I was out taking some of the dogs and puppies on a mini hike when we found this stray dog stuck on a steep slope. This hill is very steep so I tried to see if the dog could make it out without help. But for some reason she couldn't get up. I managed to climb down closer to her to see if she was injured. I don't know anything about this dog so I was cautious at first. I have fostered and rescued many dogs over the years so I started checking vitals. Ezreal climbed by her and it was a good opportunity to see how she reacts to other dogs. She seemed unfazed and more interested in me than him. The look in her eyes is so desperate! I think she was ready to give up until we came along! White gums is a major red flag and requires immediate vet care! I start looking for signs of injury or bleeding which might explain her pale gums. As soon as I touched her shoulder I realized she's completely emaciated! I had to get her out of there! I was able to pull her out despite my medical condition which can cause me to faint. She's so weak but so sweet! She has these sores on her paws which I later learned they were from dragging her feet!! I feel her joints and bones and move her legs but it doesn't appear she has any broken bones or severe injuries... Her stomach isn't bloated and isn't painful to the touch but I can feel that it a little full of fluid. That look in her eye pleading for help... She likely went down to the water to drink but then got stuck and was too weak to climb back up! Because I have a medical condition which can cause me to faint, I try to see if she can walk a little at a time. The worst thing that could happen is for her to fall all the way back down the ravine!! I carried her some way before taking a break so I don't faint. I'm roughly a quarter mile from home with no cell service! My car is home and with absolutely no cell reception I can't call anyone for help! While I was taking a break she began to try to stand up again. Puppies playing in the background making baby dinosaur sounds. If she could walk even a little that would help us get home so much faster! This is definitely an emergency situation and I need to risk fainting to get her home and to a vet asap!! While she has this beautiful thick long coat it absolutely hides that she is bones underneath... no fat, no muscle... she's wasting away! Who did this to her! 😭 I know about refeeding syndrome so I give her a small tray of soft wet food although even that is probably too rich for her after who knows how long of starvation... It looks like she's saying thank you! 😭❤️ She's so weak she can barely hold her head up to eat! But she's able to wag her tail! I'm so sick of people doing this to their dogs! I want to start a small rescue in her honor! Please if you would like to help I have links in my bio!
