LAILA ABANDONED DUE TO SERIOUS ILLNESS

During the rescue of Laila, a young female dog abandoned near Termoli, Italy, OIPA volunteers were shocked to seeing she suffered a severe epileptic seizure. The episode seriously frightened our volunteers and is suspected to be the reason Laila was mercilessly dumped.

Laila, who was visibly confused and disoriented, was taken to the vet after being rescued. The veterinary examination revealed a concerning clinical picture. Laila was suffering from malnutrition, parasite infection, swollen lymph nodes, an enlarged spleen, and tested positive for ehrlichiosis, rickettsiosis, and leishmaniasis. These pathologies had clearly developed over a prolonged period of neglect.

The dog, approximately 3 years old, unspayed and not microchipped, had likely given birth to multiple litters based on her visibly enlarged mammary glands. However, for how long she had been wandering in that condition remained unknown.

Laila, a docile dog in need of attention and affection, is currently under the care of our volunteers, who are meeting all her needs.

However, to secure a brighter future for Laila, abandoned due to serious illness, they are relying on your support
