Update on galga Galena with Asociacion Somos Galgos

Galena had a good night. Wound is progressing quite nicely. If she continues like this, we can operate on her. The traumatologist told us she’s going to have to have a transplant and do reconstruction. Just touched the gasket and no damage to the jaw.

So far we have 400€ of expenses but we’ve only just begun.

We’ll keep telling you about the evolution of this little one.

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 RECOVERY

Starving and injured – rescued and safe with Asociacion Somos Galgos

Video

Video

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….

Galga Ana – abandoned and pregnant – a happy ending

From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

I made a little movie of Ana’s story. Her saving was only possible with lots of help from a few people.

Now she can be a mum for all her babies and watch them grow up till they are old enough to go their own way.

Please sign and share this petition organised by PACMA – Partido Animalista.

Can dogs have a chicken allergy?

Chicken is usually recommended, along with rice, as a good for dogs especially recovering after illness. When I visited a shelter in Spain some years ago, raw chicken carcases were delivered from a chicken processing factory as food for the rescue dogs. I regularly feed minced cooked chicken to my dogs without a problem.

However, dogs can have allergies to certain foods just like humans. so can they have a chicken allergy?
