abscess in dogs

If you’re the pet parent of a paralyzed dog, especially a big dog, you know the dangers of pressure sores (decubital ulcers).  They are sores or open areas that develop over bony pressure points. A dog that is paralyzed loses muscle mass and if they lie in one position for a long period of time the blood supply to the area is cut off causing damage and sores to the skin.

paralyzed dog

I am reaching out once again to readers to help Lexie, the paralyzed dog pictured above, find a new family before she arrives in the United States next month in June.

Traveling from Mozambique, Africa to the U.S is a long trip for anyone to make, but Lexie is ready to take that flight so she can start a new life. Lexie is a street dog who was the victim of a drunk driver that left her hind end paralyzed. The organization that rescued her has made arrangements for the dog to fly to the U.S. in June, but they are asking for our help to find an adopted home before she arrives.
