The ride home
My wife and I saw her shared on Facebook asking for someone to save her from the pound. She was 3 months old had demodectic mange over most of her body, a terrible skin infection and pneumonia.
First night home.
Her infection was so bad and her fever was so high we didn't know if she was going to make it through that first night. We spent 6 hours that night at the emergency vet.
Mila and Molly (and the wife)
After 3 days of heavy antibiotics she was beginning to come out of her shell.
One month later
She had to keep a tee-shirt on all the time. At this point she had lost most of her hair due to treatment for the mange. After a month of antibiotics the infections and pneumonia were gone.
Hair growing back
About 2 1/2 months after we took her home, she was in full on crazy puppy mode.
Four month vet check up
She's so good on car rides.
Six months later, completely healthy.
At nine months old she's the sweetest little girl in the world. I love this little fighter so much.

Demodectic mange looks terrible but is treatable. Its the secondary infections that can kill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAAG_Dh3IZo

OP, you have just added another treasure in heaven that will be waiting for you.

My question is why wasn't the pound treating the poor dog for any of this? Were they just expecting to put it down and leaving it to wallow?

I love you, OP. Bravo!!!

She has soulful eyes! Adorable little pupster! Thank you for giving her a loving home.

Am I wrong thinking that an animal shelter should treat an animal so it will BE adopted. Why do you have to pay to adopt if they come this..
Knightendae
Way from the shelter and you have to rush then to a pet hospital?! Did they give you no medicine!? No treatment? Just gave you a mangy dog?
