An animal lover managed to get hold of the elderly dog in Luther street. He was in a bad condition, so we took him to the vet immediately. He’s very old, has a heart problem and suffers from ascites. His previous owner, whoever he/she was, should be ashamed of himself. He/she had let this happen. SZOMBAT’s treatment has been continuous since he came into our care.
In the beginning he was mistrustful and snappy, but after a few weeks, thanks to the patience, care and the continuos positive reinforcement, he has already changed a lot and can be stroked. He’s still mistrustful of strangers when meeting for the first time, but he’s not a hopeless case.

UPDATE 17.05.2023: His ascites has mostly gone now, but he still takes diuretics, heart medication and Doxycyclin for his lungs, though and his castration is not recommended.
Unfortunately, SZOMBAT is heartworm positive the treatment of which condition incurs a monthly cost of 4,000 Ft. He's waiting for his loving owner who's willing to provide this for him. 26.11.2022
