The staff at a shelter were really shocked by the dog that came into their hands. It was just ” skeleton and skin” and immediately, they begged for help on the networks asking for collaboration to save his life.

When we think of a malnourished dog, the image of one frighteningly thin, down to the bone is what usually comes to mind.

The cause of malnutrition in dogs is due to lack of adequate nutrition. A dog on the street normally survives by eating scraps of food that he finds available.

More than a week ago, the Humane Society of Danville , Virginia, United States, received one of these furry sufferers, a female dog with exposed ribs . Her physical condition was downright heartbreaking to see.

The unfortunate dog had been rescued by the animal welfare organization like any other being on the street. However , she had a collar on, which shows that, in some cases, there are malnourished dogs with homes . At one point she was someone’s pet who, for some reason, let her go.

No one can believe they had the worst owners in the world.

“Do you know this dog? They picked him up as lost and brought him to us. It is literally a skeleton with skin and fur. He has a collar, so we know he had a home,” spokespeople for the Humane Society in Virginia wrote in a publication.

This is a phenomenon that is generally generated by a lack of understanding and commitment, but also by a lack of empathy on the part of the person responsible for the animal with respect to its nutritional needs.

And different dogs need different diets to maintain and thrive with a healthy body .

He had a family and they left it almost to the point of starvation. His evil has no limits!

Members of the same organization took in the animal, visibly concerned about the severe state of weakness and thinness in which this sweet dog was found.

She was quickly transferred to a specialized clinic for treatment . Likewise, they took the opportunity to describe what they felt when they saw her.

Frankly, it seems like he had a terrible home. It was very sad to see the state in which he arrived. Now they are going to transfer her to a veterinary clinic. “She is very sweet,” they said.

Several hours later, the shelter provided updated information on the dog’s health status, through a fairly timely medical report.

Fortunately, he seems to be recovering satisfactorily and has already started eating food , which is a very good sign.

His temperature has improved slightly. His blood work showed some concerns that will be monitored closely. She ate and that is a very good thing. She is being treated for a heavy infestation of internal parasites,” the veterinarian reported.

You will have to stay in the hospital for a few more days . That’s the best and safest place for her, for now. She receives a lot of love and attention from all the clinic staff. And, in reality, she is a very tender and humble dog .

The shelter team that received her and rescued her from the disgrace of the streets hopes that someone recognizes the little animal and comes forward with some information. They also published their coordinates so they can be contacted. And if they don’t come for her, they are sure they can find her a good home.

The more defenseless a creature is, the more rights it has to be protected by man, against the cruelty of man. Enough of so much indolence against these poor little souls!
