It’s always really infuriating to learn that there are people who don’t take care of their pets and leave them to their fate without giving them the minimal medical and emotional care they so desperately need. However, this becomes even more painful when a litter of newborn puppies needs the utmost help from their mother or from humans to survive .
The puppies were rescued at just six weeks old.
Recently, someone left four cocker spaniel puppies in a man’s garden so they wouldn’t be held responsible for them. The puppies are in a really alarming state . They have so much scabies that they are almost bald and their skin is badly damaged.
The pups are named El, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas after the popular series Stranger Things .
When the owner of the house realized that someone had left them there, he knew very well what he had to do. He called the RSPCA and authorities are conducting the necessary investigations to find the culprit .
“They lost most of their hair, were bitten, their skin was irritated and some had ulcers on their eyes .”
Rebecca Timberlake , an inspector for the RSPCA cannot believe the alarming state of the puppies. Despite his years of experience, he has never seen puppies at such a young age reach such an advanced level. For her, it was important to be able to interview all the inhabitants of the place to look for any clues as to what happened .
“Very sad but no one there wanted to say anything. I hope no one in this neighborhood thinks it’s okay to treat animals like garbage.”
Scabies is a skin disease caused by parasitic mites that also cause hair loss . After several tests it was found that they have demodectic mange . This is a curable condition, but it will take much longer to recover because it also affects the immune system . Despite their poor health, these mischievous little guys were rescued just in time and are being cared for at the Milbrook Animal Center in Surrey.
“They will have to receive medication and multiple baths for the next several months .
Luckily, these beautiful puppies start to regain their strength quickly. They were eating and drinking more often so everyone hoped that they would be completely healed. They are true warriors.
Share this note to ask that those responsible for the sad condition of these puppies be found and they receive the weight of justice.
