I
found Andy two days after Hurricane Katrina blew through our area in
Central Mississippi. Andy had the worst case of mange that I have ever
seen. He was rolling in the dirt on the edge of the street trying to
scratch his back when I saw him. I knew I could not leave him in that
condition. He had never had a kind touch from humans so he was
terrified when we caught him and wrapped him in a towel. We took him to
my wonderful veterinarian who kept him three weeks where he was treated for
the many problems he had. The bottom photo is the day I brought him
home after his three-week stay in the hospital. We estimate that he was
about three months old when this picture was taken. The top photo was taken
recently. You can see that he is now healthy and happy in our home.
Andy loves to go outside to play fetch and take long walks in the
woods. He obeys commands and is so well behaved that I can take him in
the woods without having him on a leash. I hope the person that threw
him out in this condition will see him and recognize that they threw
away a jewel.
My veterinarian was so wonderful with Andy and he waived
all charges except for the medicine that he needed. He was so sick the
first few days that the veterinarian stayed with him at night for
several nights giving him the care he needed to survive. Without his
care and concern my special Andy surely would not have lived. Oh, by
the way, the veterinarian's name is Andy. I could not think of a more
fitting name for this special dog.
