Upon receiving an emergency about a dog that had been abandoned, we immediately set out to the location we had been given. By the time we arrived, darkness had set, and we found the dog in a dire state.
The Rescue
Her name is Nika. Her legs were broken and her agony resounding. She put up a fight as we approached her, however, her anxiety subsided once we reassured her that we were there to help.
As we loaded her into the car, it became clear that she had been through a heartbreaking ordeal. This prompted us to take her to a veterinarian to be examined. Following some bloodwork, it was asserted that she would be okay and we were released after 24 hours.
Recovery
A considerable amount of time would pass before Nika could walk again.
In our shelter, she behaved well. She was timid and only ate after we had granted her permission. Eating was hard for her at first, but she soon regained her appetite and was able to eat on her own. She even became playful as she grew more comfortable.
To regain proper movement in her muscles, we would take her out for walks and within seven days she had improved. We took her to get retested, and the vet confirmed that she was firmly on the path to recovery.
After a long while, she was finally able to walk. She still has a long way to go, but we strongly believe that she will manage to make a full comeback.
Conclusion
Nika’s story is one of resilience, and she has shone through as a fighter. Her beauty is marked by her strong will and perseverance. She has surely taught us that there is hope in the face of adversity, and we can only know how strong we are then.
We will tirelessly make sure that she remains happy and healthy.
