Blossom, a gorgeous dog, was found by an OrphanPet worker in Greece. She had been a stray for quite some time, and her condition was appalling.
Her tail had been ensnared in a chain link for a prolonged period, causing the chain link to expand substantially due to its constrictive grip.
Ticks were all over her body, making things worse. Upon conducting a blood test, it was found that her blood was unusually thin due to the tick infestation. They rescued her just in time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived much longer.
Blossom was running out of time, and it was clear that immediate assistance was necessary.
Upon rescuing her, the poor creature had to undergo a tail amputation and receive a much-needed blood transfusion. The team worked diligently to extract each tick methodically and carefully, taking nearly a week to remove them all.
The change in her is simply amazing. She’s now fit and healthy, and has even made some new doggy friends. And the most exciting news? She’s been adopted! She finally has a forever home and is embracing this new lease on life. Without the help of the compassionate volunteer who rescued her and brought her to safety, she wouldn’t have survived. We are grateful for OrphanPet’s dedicated rescuers who make second chances possible.
