Leya (Лея)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Leia ran through the city streets, and no one paid attention to the thin, exhausted dog. A city resident took the dog to a clinic, but she didn't have money for the animal's treatment, so she turned to Svitlana, the owner of the animal shelter "Manana," for help. Leia was admitted to the clinic with signs of abdominal distension, exhaustion, chronic enteropathy, respiratory insufficiency, and severe abdominal pain. An ultrasound was performed (according to the conclusion, there was atony and dilation in the intestines). The animal was quickly taken for a diagnostic laparotomy. During the operation, five intestinal resections were performed, part of the intestine with a large number of worms and adhesions was removed. After the operation, Leia was transferred to the intensive care unit for stabilization, infusion therapy, and pain management. The diagnosis for Leia was a tapeworm infestation, with structural damage to the intestines, and impaired peristalsis (she ate, but food did not pass from the stomach to the intestines, causing constant vomiting due to stomach overfilling). The veterinary doctors managed to restore peristalsis and intestinal passage (a comprehensive anti-parasitic treatment was conducted). At present, Leia is on supportive therapy and gradually recovering. The animal shelter spent 7500 hryvnias on Leia's treatment. On February 9, 2022, Svitlana, the owner of the animal shelter, took the dog home for rehabilitation. On February 17, 2022, Svitlana, the owner of the animal shelter, contacted us, asking for help to pay the clinic debt of 7500 hryvnias, as it is a large sum for the animal shelter where Leia became the 105th foster dog of Svitlana, and there are also 110 cats living in the shelter, all of whom need to be fed. Let's help the animal shelter "Manana" pay off the clinic debt! P.S.: Leia is a young dog (about 1.5 years old), very kind, affectionate, and a good dog who can become a faithful friend for life!
