The bitch, who was named Peonia , had serious wounds that had become infected . His life was in danger . She hadn’t received care for a very long time, as evidenced by her very long claws and her extremely dirty and matted coat . In addition, she was wearing a diaper which exerted terrible pressure on her skin . It was also infested with parasites , including maggots .
The vets first got rid of these, then carefully trimmed her hair . When they examined his eyes , they understood that they could not be saved ; they had to be taken away from him . She was subsequently operated in this direction. They also found that Peonia suffered from chronic cystitis .
The bitch nevertheless seemed determined to make it through . She was feeding on her own , and that was a very good sign .
Peonia continues to follow her treatments and gain weight . She gradually adapts to the blindness and her health gradually improves. It was entrusted to Claudia Zurlini, a volunteer who regularly welcomes animals rescued on a temporary basis.
