The sight of an abandoned pug at the shelter made the shelter employees increasingly doubt. The animal’s skin was completely covered in mange and most of its fur had fallen out. It is hard to imagine the discomfort he must have felt due to the intense itching. Fortunately, veterinarians restored his former appearance and got the dog back on his feet.
Bazyl – as the sick pug who was on the verge of death not long ago was called – underwent a long treatment. From the moment he was admitted to the shelter until he was ready to look for a new home, he changed beyond recognition. Looking at some of the photos, it is hard to believe that this is the same dog.
The skin of the pug found under the shelter was covered in mange
Not only was the pug found under a shelter in Melbourne, Australia, very hungry and literally staggering on its legs, but it is difficult to imagine how much discomfort he felt due to the mange that covered his small body. The shelter employees themselves admitted that Bazyl was one of the most serious cases they had encountered since its creation.
After detailed tests, it turned out that mange and emaciation were not the only problems the dog was facing. It turned out that the animal had eye problems and parasites in the stomach. It looked like a skeleton covered with thin skin without any trace of fur.
Veterinarians immediately revealed that the fight for the pug’s recovery would be very long and, in the worst case, it would be lost. They did not guarantee that the dog would recover from the state to which his previous owners had reduced him. However, they never gave up their efforts to save the animal.
Bazyl underwent a huge metamorphosis
Frequent visits to the vet, treatments, regular medications, and therapeutic baths made Bazyl feel better and better. Every day, he proved to the shelter employees what a wonderful dog he was, which made it even harder for them to believe that someone could have treated him so cruelly earlier. Moreover, as he regained his strength, he began to make friends with other dogs at the facility.
After a few weeks, he was completely unrecognizable. Not only did he gain weight and become more lively, but his fur also began to grow back. At every step, the pug shows how grateful he is to the people who changed his fate and gave him a chance for a better life.
Everything indicates that he will soon be ready to start looking for loving guardians. The shelter staff caring for Bazyl are convinced that this sweet dog deserves the best and that is what they intend to strive for.
