The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project is desperate for help after taking in five malnourished puppies and two dogs with untreated tumors within three days - all neglected and abandoned.
WARREN, Ohio -
The dog was spotted through an open window “extremely underweight” with a “had a large, oozing mass on her side with insect activity,” Cooke described.Warren City police and Warren City Animal Control helped remove the dog from the residence “which was in deplorable condition,” said Cooke.Cooke said the dog, who rescuers named Beatrice, was immediately brought to Countryside Veterinary Service in Kinsman.
Unfortunately, vets saw Beatrice’s health was even worse than they hoped once she underwent surgery, and she crossed the Rainbow Bridge.“Beatrice had a very proportionally large mass on her side, at the junction of the chest and abdomen. The mass was extremely painful and infected, even after a course of antibiotics. In an attempt to remove it surgically, it was found that the mass extended all the way through the body wall.
Cooke said she too was immediately rushed to Countryside Veterinary Service in Kinsman where “it was determined that she is extremely malnourished; matted beyond belief; and has a large, painful mass on her mouth that is also infected...”Emerson is scheduled to have surgery to remove a mass on her mouth as soon as next week, depending on how she recovers, Cooke shared.Cooke said the veterinary care the dogs and cats of the Healthy Hearts and Paws Project received last week alone totaled $3,055.
