Emergency appeal for donations for injured galga in Cadiz
Charl del Rio of 112carlotagalgos received an urgent call today from a young woman in a village near Cadiz where she found this young galga with an horrendous back wound. The girl is staying with the galga whilst Charl organises for her to go straight to her vet in Malaga. Here’s what Charl says.
‘The rescue train has begun. Confirmed a female but bleeding a lot. So we have been in touch with a contact in Cadiz who has offered to go quickly and pick her up and bring her. We will meet up and head to the clinic. This is a nasty nasty wound which doesn’t look too old but in 40 degree heat infection and fever can set in very quickly. The girl who caught her tells me shes plagued with flies naturally and cooked flesh is not an easy thing to heal in this heat. So a little blind on whats coming in but we will do our absolute best.

Galgo Tico in Seville – beating the galguero who abandoned him to die
Regular readers will remember the appeals to help pay the considerable vet fees to help galgo Tico, rescued badly injured and left for dead at the side of a Seville road. Sandra has, with the amazing work by the vet team, nurtured this boy back to health. You may remember it was thought he would be incontinent for life. Sadly I can’t share with you the latest video of Tico running off lead, no nappy, and moving well on 4 legs. It’s posted on facebook, I’ve asked Sandra if she can put it on Youtube so I can share it with all of you who helped towards Tico’s vet fees. I have to say I am filled with incredible joy to see this galgo looking and moving as well as he is.
