Hope For Paws received a call to rescue a dog that had severe acid burns on its mouth.
When Loreta Frankonyte and Eldad arrived, they found the dog eating food that was given by concerned neighbors.
Upon seeing the dog, the rescuers immediately realized that her condition was much worse than they had expected.
Parts of her lower jaw had rotten away, and flies followed her around.
Even though Loreta was getting really close to her, the dog didn’t seem to be scared. Loreta even petted her.
They named her Alice.
Loreta placed a lucky leash on her and gently touched Alice’s back to check for bumps, lumps, and get a feel of her physical condition.
She then gently picked her up and brought her to the car.
It was amazing. As Alice was resting inside the cage at the back of the car, she actually asked for belly rubs by offering her belly to Eldad, which Eldad gladly obliged.
They rushed Alice to the hospital for treatment.
Doctors found that her gums have been destroyed by the acid, and the skin on her lower jaw had rotted away.
Alice was then treated to a haircut, taking off months of matting. But because Alice’s temperature was too low, they couldn’t give her a bath. So they just washed her with a wet cloth to clean her and get rid of ticks.
Alice spent a week at the hospital so that she could be closely monitored.
As it turns out, she suffered from chemical burns, corneal ulcers, anemia, heart murmur, and had to undergo invasive dental surgery to correct her teeth.
After a week of recovering in the hospital, Loreta took Alice home with her to continue treating her and to monitor her improvement.
Loreta spent the next few weeks carefully taking care of Alice’s needs. She cooks her organic meals and rubs her skin with coconut oil every day.
With constant love and affection, Alice eventually turned into the sweetest little dog who loves belly rubs.
Two months later, she was finally adopted by a very special family.
