Cross (9/14/09)
Name: Cross Breed: English Springer Spaniel Submitted by: Alison D. Location: Seattle, WA | ||
Cross is a purebred English Springer Spaniel who was one of 41 dogs rescued from a free range puppy mill in Missouri that were brought to Washington State in March 2009 (there were 200 dogs rescued in all). The dogs were found to be living off of rocks, dirt, and a horse that had been dead for two weeks (YUCK!). They were dirty and infested with ticks and fleas. Before being transported to WA, Cross was neutered, wherein they discovered he had an inguinal hernia- his intestines were in his scrotum. Cross’ hernia was corrected before leaving Missouri, but while on the transport, his surgery area became infected and made it very difficult for him to walk. He was also emaciated and found to have cheat grass lodged in his eardrums causing painful earaches and plenty of yucky discharge. Within a week of his arrival in Seattle, his scrotum was removed, his ears cleaned, and he began to eat real healthy food! | ||
