Doberman with a genetic disorder was dumped like yesterday's trash. Thank you for helping her! π
10,292Can you please explain to me how can an owner abandon a dog and drive away? My brain is unable to comprehend that, and I need your help. π
Florence was so loyal - she sat on the street, waited, and believed her owner would come back very soon. Luckily, Tania spotted her, and as a Hope For Paws supporter, she knew to contact us for help.
Our medical team detected her genetic disorder right away (Von Willebrand Disease). Von Willebrand's disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder of both humans and dogs. It is caused by a deficiency in the amount of a specific protein needed to help platelets (the blood cells used in clotting) stick together and form clots to seal broken blood vessels. The deficient protein is called von Willebrand factor (vWF).
Florence was spayed laparoscopically to reduce the risk or bleeding, she was given a blood transfusion, and she recovered beautifully. π
She is now fostered by our friends at LA Animal Rescue and you can apply to adopt her here: https://www.LAAnimalRescue.org
