Tampa, Florida -- A severely neglected dog is being treated by doctors at BluePearl Veterinary Partners here after being brought in by Canine Estates rescue group Wednesday.
The approximately, 8-year-old, female miniature pincher was found by Polk County Animal Services last week and turned over to the rescue group.
On Thursday, vets reported the dog, Canine Estates named "Freedom" in honor of the upcoming holiday, is currently on IV treatment and did eat a little but is receiving IV supplements to help with lack of food consumption.
Sadly, they say it appears Freedom's left eye may be ruptured and she was scheduled to see an eye specialist Thursday morning. Vets have also started her on topical antibiotics to help fight any infections.
BluePearl, who is now bringing Freedom back to health, is requesting donations from the public to assist with paying for her care.
"Since coming on-board with Canine Estates, this is the worst case I've seen personally," said Alexis Campbell, a volunteer with Canine Estates. "Any help from the public would be greatly appreciated."
Anyone wishing to donate, should visit http://www.canineestates.com or contact the organization at 727-483-1289 or 727-422-3037.
