Davee: open wound

One of the few times I see the purity of a soul so discordant with the pain distorting the body in which it dwells.

And this is shown in Davee's condition. While most get ready for CNY festivities, I feel I need to post this. With some urgency and a hope that we can help poor Davee.


Side view: the gaping, crater-like wound on Davee's lower back can't be more obvious

So friendly: Davee sniffed our hands and willingly took our treats with a welcoming wagging tail when we visited her at the shelter


Top view: a good part of Davee's coat is shaven off. Her crater-like wound is stark to the human eye

While I gather more information of Davee's situation and how her wound came about, just want to share, perhaps again, succintly what's affecting her:
  • Background: Davee is part of the five dogs residing in a home. Max and Zoe have been removed from the environment by a rescuer.
  • Tick fever plagues her and is suspected to be linked to the open wound. With low PVC, her wound is bleeding and this could lead to bacteria infection.
  • Still, Davee does not show any improvement from the tick fever treatment.
  • Vet's prognosis is not optimistic but treatment ensues.
  • Davee is a four-yr-old female who requires daily administration of medication, plus cleaning of wound 2x/day with simple bandaging.
  • Sits quietly to allow wound cleaning and gentle in spirit.

I'd like to ask if you could keep Davee in mind as most of us usher in the lunar new year. Davee resides in a shelter but we estimate that her treatment costs can reach hefty amounts. If you'd like to contribute to Davee's medical bills (any amount is appreciated!), please contact us at projectjkteam@yahoo.com.sg or joyeng1@gmail.com

For now, Davee needs help, so does this soulful dog's rescuer, in helping her tide over this. Thank you for sharing Davee's story with your pals.
