Galga Tina with heartworm – please donate to her vet treatment
Heartworm is a life threatening health problem in dogs, if untreated, spread by mosqsuito bites. Treatment can be for months and means the dog must not move around very much or it stimulates the worm to move around.
Galga Tina at Galgos Rescue Almeria has tested positive for this terrible problem. Here she is at the vet being examined.
From Sandy at GRA. Our sweet Tina tested positive for Dirofilaria, heartworm. Heartworm is a serious and potentially fatal disease if it is not treated properly and closely monitored. Of course, we didn’t waste a single moment. Tina returned to the veterinarian for a thorough examination. Her heart was carefully checked, and another blood sample was taken. It was examined under a microscope to determine whether any heartworm larvae were still present, allowing her treatment plan to be tailored to her needs.

Galgo Cate with a genital injury = more bills for Asociacion Somos Galgos
Today we introduce you to Cate. This cutie is a 4-year-old male and is already sick. We took him to the hospital today because, as you can see, he has a pretty serious genital injury. For now, they have told us that we need to perform surgeries and give him a lot of medication for the infection and pain. Next week, if he gets better, we will have to operate on him.Summer is being tough, for them and for us. More bills and no definitive adoption. You know we do what we can, but between veterinary, residency, and educators expenses, we can’t take on more dogs for now.WE CLOSE DOORS UNTIL RECOVERYAsociacion Somos Galgos email somosgalgos1@gmail.comIf you want to adopt, contact through: https://linktr.ee/somos_galgosBizum: NGO Code 01979Transfer: La Caixa ES89 2100 4991 6622 0027 0343.Join here: www.teaming.net/somosgalgosEvery gesture counts.

Starving and injured – rescued and safe with Asociacion Somos Galgos
This little girl is Galena. It means “healer” and we chose it so that her name gives her strength. We rescued her with a rescuer knowing she was going to be in very bad condition, but when we saw that what was on her face was not a simple wound but a gunshot… we had to act fast.We’ve taken her to the emergency room: we’ve been confirmed that the hole in her face is a gunshot, plus she has a huge loss of blood, dehydration, severe malnutrition, a pulmonary enphysema and pneumonia.For now they can’t operate it because they don’t think it’s past the anesthesia. Let’s start with antibiotics and wound cleanings.You know how this goes, we are not leaving the little one no way but we need help paying the bills….If you want to adopt contact via: https://linktr.ee/somos_galgosBizum: Code ONG 01979Transfer: La Caixa ES89 2100 4991 6622 0027 0343.Join here: www.teaming.net/somosgalgosEvery gesture counts.
