Blady was found with another puppy roaming alone together in a field. His rescuer took him and the other pup to a shelter in Sumpango Guatemala. Both puppies have had daily food and shelter. They are now free from the dangers of living on the streets. However, Four months later, the shelter staff noticed that Blady started to lose hair. Little did they know this was the start of Blady’s harshest journey. The shelter does not have an in-house veterinary, so a volunteer took him to a consult with an outside vet. Blady was diagnosed with a fungal infection and the vet recommended medicated baths twice a week. The shelter staff and volunteers started to give Blady the baths but he did not improve. Moreover, he was starting to lose more hair and began having diarrhea. They finally decided they needed to hospitalize him. So, he was hospitalized for four weeks to treat his diarrhea and make sure he is receiving regular medicated baths. He has also been placed on a better diet with supplements to help his digestion. Weeks later, his hair started to grow back, and started to gain weight! With things looking up, he was finally able to go back to the shelter with the other dogs and wait for a family who wants to adopt him.It’s not a fever…A dog’s normal temperature is between 101 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
