Pup history/story:(OPTIONAL)This is a glimpse of how some dogs live a life of suffering in silence. If it were not for someone bringing this dog’s plight to the attention of a rescue group, she would probably still be chained up or dead.
Cinnamon was removed from the harsh conditions she lived in for several months. She is still a young dog, which explains being able to withstand such treatment. She was tied outdoors with an embedded chain in her neck. The wound had abscessed. Her right ear is permanently deformed. Was she in a dog fight and not taken for treatment to a vet? Several of her teeth are broken. Is it from being abused or from chewing on her chain?
Leaving the shelter, where she had been housed temporarily, with her foster mom, Cinnamon “kissed” every dog goodbye on her way out. A testament to what a gentle creature she is. She was taken immediately to an animal clinic where the veterinarian made the comment that the abscess to her neck had been there a long time. Fibrous tissues had started growing around the chain. While sedated, her wound was disinfected, irrigated, and non-viable tissue removed.
A penrose drain, to help remove fluid from the wound, was used and the wound was closed with dissolvable sutures. She has returned to her foster home to convalesce with antibiotics, supplements and nutritious food to regain her strength. Cinnamon is a lucky survivor
