A helpless dog endured excruciating agony, as her face swelled severely and an object mercilessly lodged in her neck, inflicting immense suffering.
The beginning of this story traces back to a snapshot taken by a night vision camera. The image depicts a hapless dog whose face had swollen immensely, with an object firmly lodged in her neck, leading to the restriction of blood flow to her head. The rescue squad was aware of the dire situation, and although the dog’s life hung in the balance, they were resolute in their mission to rescue her.
The moment the rescue team received the photograph of the distressed dog, they sprang into action. They quickly devised a plan to rescue her and set a trap with an enticing meal, hoping to lure her in. To their surprise, the dog, who they later named Mika, walked right into the trap. While it was a relief, it was just the start of the battle. Mika was immediately taken to the vet, where the team consulted with the doctor to come up with a plan. The team worked tirelessly to tend to her wounds, administering antibiotics for the infection and starting an IV for hydration. Despite her immense pain and discomfort, the team managed to keep her comfortable overnight. The surgery team was scheduled to confront her in person the following day.
Mika’s condition improved significantly on the following day, with her swelling subsiding considerably. The HBOT treatment was proving to be effective in providing her relief, and she was responding positively to it. Moreover, Mika’s appetite had also returned, and her skin was showing signs of recovery with a granulated and pink appearance, indicating that she was winning the fight against the ailment. The team was hopeful and expressed their gratitude for the progress made.
The surgery team found Mika’s neck tissue to be in good condition, allowing them to successfully close the wound. The operation took a total of six hours, but Mika showed exceptional strength and resilience throughout. Her swelling had significantly decreased, revealing more of her face. Mika was in high spirits, enjoying her meals and acting playful, bringing joy to the entire team. Everyone was overjoyed with the progress she had made.
With a smile on her face, Mika was happily enjoying her food while also making strides towards healing and love. The team was filled with gratitude for those who supported them in their efforts to help Mika recover. Her progress was impressive and her future was starting to look much brighter.
Mika was still apprehensive around people, but slowly gaining trust with every passing day. She had a good appetite and was putting on weight steadily. Although she was hesitant to approach humans, in private moments, her playful side emerged. The team took pride in the progress Mika was making, and she was improving day by day.
Mika was in the process of recuperating both physically and emotionally. Despite being filled with immense anxiety, she was gradually making improvements day by day. Though it may have been gradual, her progress had been consistent, leaving the team optimistic about her recovery.
Mika has recently had her stitches removed and is now gaining weight like a healthy young pup. Though she still feels scared at times, she is slowly but surely coming out of her shell. In fact, she has even made a new dog friend which brings great joy to those who have been supporting her through her journey. Mika is especially fond of other dogs and loves to cuddle with her humans as well. The team who have been caring for Mika during her recovery were thrilled to hear that Dr. Miranda and his partner, Dr. Yao, who were part of her surgery team, had fallen in love with her and offered to take her into their family forever. It seems like everything has come together perfectly for Mika and the team couldn’t be happier for her and her new family. It’s been a challenging journey for Mika, but with the help of a dedicated rescue team and caring veterinarians, she has finally found her happy ending.
