Dog With Inflated Head Discovered Roaming the Neighborhood, Seeking Assistance

Date:

After receiving an alert from their security camera indicating movement, a Good Samaritan decided to investigate.

What they discovered left them utterly stunned.

A dog with a severely swollen head was wandering by, desperately seeking assistance.

The Good Samaritan swiftly reached out to a nearby rescue shelter to share what they had encountered.

A rescue team quickly made their way to the site, determined to catch her before she could escape.

Fortunately, they located her upon arrival, secured her, and transported her to the veterinarian.

There, they discovered something lodged in her neck, likely restricting blood flow and causing her head to swell.

Mika, the dog, remained remarkably calm throughout her treatment, as if she sensed that she was finally receiving much-needed help.

The surgical team felt some apprehension due to the inability to administer anesthesia, but after an intense six-hour procedure, they succeeded in releasing her.

While it remained unclear whether it was a collar or fabric that had been stuck in her neck, what mattered most was that she could now breathe freely.

The following step involved flushing her face and administering IV fluids to keep her hydrated, along with antibiotics to address her infection and mange.

Road To Recovery

Following her successful operation, Mika spent time in an HBOT chamber, allowing her to relax and inhale clean, fresh air.

Today, Mika is thriving in a joyful environment surrounded by loving humans.

She has successfully put her troubled past behind her, enjoying every comfort and love she deserves.

A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing individuals who played a role in this extraordinary rescue operation.

Final Word

Isn’t it amazing what rescuers do?

They dedicate their lives to saving animals in dire situations and ensuring they find families that cherish them for their true selves. Mika’s story is just one of many.

If you have yet to assist an animal seeking a second chance at life, I strongly encourage you to do so—it’s a truly fulfilling experience.

You won’t regret it!
