A tiny puppy was found in RR Nagar, Bengaluru, with open wounds – the causes of which are unknown. After he was treated, he was being fostered by a dog lover in the locality. Unfortunately, he got attacked by a pet dog that has a history of attacking, but whose owners were callous and left their gate open. Post attack, one of his legs was paralysed.
‘Archie’ was first treated for a week at the foster care subsequently admitted to a clinic where he underwent oil massage and laser therapy. Unfortunately, his health began deteriorating causing paralysis in both hind legs. His attitude also had a marked difference – he was inactive and depressed due to his condition and the lack of a loving home. Fearing for the puppy’s life, he was surrendered to VOSD for lifelong care.
Archie was started on joint and nerve supplements, along with daily exercises and various forms of therapy for his hind legs. Within a short span of two weeks he has not only began walking but running too… especially behind the human who has the maximum treats to offer! While there is a long way to go for him to heal completely, we’re optimistic, as is he, that he will grow into a healthy and handsome dog soon!
