On a scorching summer day, a small dog was left alone on the street, facing the harsh elements without any help. As the sun beat down, she became more exhausted, her once shiny coat turning dull and matted.
Her cries echoed through the empty surroundings, a sound of desperation and loneliness.
The little dog, weighing just 4.7 kg, was suffering not only from illness but also from the intense heat as her skin burned in the blistering 40°C weather.
After being taken to a veterinarian, it was confirmed that she was suffering from Leishmania, a disease that was taking a heavy toll on her health. Fortunately, her kidneys were in good condition and she only tested positive for this disease.
Named Orinoko by the vet, she began treatment with Pancef antibiotics. The medication brought noticeable improvement; her skin was less inflamed and her wounds started healing. She even gained nearly a kilogram, improving from 4.7 kg to 5.5 kg.
Orinoko completed her milteforan therapy two weeks ago, and the medicine has been making a significant impact. The once frail and sickly dog has transformed into a healthy, lively companion.
Her eyes that once held only despair now shine with joy and gratitude.
A kind family saw beyond her difficult past and recognized the brave spirit she now embodies. They welcomed her into their home, providing Orinoko with a loving environment where she can thrive and be adored for who she is.
