It takes a village to raise a child—or should I say, rescue a dog? A puppy named Skyler was fighting for her dear life. She was extremely weak and desperate for help. Little did she know, help was on its way—ready to change her fate. This is Skyler’s story.
She Hasn’t Eaten
Skyler’s trouble started when she became very sick and couldn’t eat for nearly four days. Her owner was very worried because Skyler was vomiting and couldn’t walk straight. Seeing her puppy in such bad shape, Skyler’s owner reached out to Sidewalk Outreach, a group known for helping dogs and running a sterilization program.
Her owner’s voice was full of worry as she explained how bad things were. “Almost four days now that she hasn’t eaten,” she told Sidewalk. They quickly realized that Skyler needed urgent help from a vet.
Skyler’s Recovery
Sidewalk Outreach shared Skyler’s story with the community, asking for help to pay for her veterinary care. The community responded with open hearts, providing the support Skyler needed to get immediate medical attention. At the vet, it was found that she had severe coccidia, a type of parasitic infection that was making her very ill.
The treatment was tough. Skyler had to be on a drip and take medicine. It was crucial for her to start eating on her own again. “I tried my bestest,” Skyler might say if she could talk, showing her determination to get better. Each day brought a little improvement, and with lots of rest, she grew stronger.
She’s Ready To Go Home
After two weeks of hard work and care, there was good news at last—Skyler was ready to go home. Her owner was waiting for her, overjoyed to see her beloved puppy coming back. It was a touching moment, filled with relief and happiness.
The community didn’t just help with Skyler’s medical bills; they also paid for her to be sterilized, which was important for her health. This story isn’t just about a puppy getting better; it’s about how kindness from others can truly save lives.
