Dog Rescued: 'Angel was covered in live fleas and flea dirt. She was hypothermic, dehydrated, anemic, and had an increased respiratory rate and effort. The clock was ticking, and there was no time to waste,' the PSCPA said.
The Pennsylvania SPCA is sharing the remarkable story of one dog who was fighting for her life and then with the help of others was able to make a miraculous recovery.Philadelphia police officers had been called to the home for a welfare check. Officers discovered several animals inside the property, some dead and some alive.
She was taken to the agency's Philadelphia headquarters where the nurses started a fluid bolus and then IV fluids. Angel was placed in an oxygen tank to help ease her breathing efforts. But Angel had company during her blood transfusion. The PSCPA says one of their veterinary nurses sat with the dog for the entire four-hour procedure."As the hours passed, Angel became brighter and more responsive, and her respiration normalized," the PSCPA said. "By the next morning, she was a completely different dog. Just twelve hours earlier, she had been on death's door, and now she was well on the way to recovery.
