Workers from the RSPCA in Wirral handled 13-year-old Bobby after his owner asked for inspectors to take him to the veterinarians to be put asleep.
However, the inspector thought the animal rescue service might do much better for Bobby so signed him over and brought him to the Wirral branch.
A representative for the RSPCA said: “He was filthy and in quite a state with more fleas than we have seen on a single animal, barely any fur from the waist down, with dirty infected ears.”
Also struggling with without treatment dry eyes, Bobby was entrusted to both his eyes ached and contaminated.
The RSPCA included: “One of his nails was very overgrown and gnarled, whilst another had grown into a complete circle – piercing his pad and growing into it significantly.”
The employees set to operate in conserving Bobby by bathing him and treating him for his fleas.
Once he was dry, staff wormed him, cleaned up and bathed his aching eyes, cleared out his obstructed ears and began him on a course of treatment. Workers likewise clipped his knotted nail, and eliminated the piercing one from the pad, then bathed the injury, allowing him put his foot down and stroll appropriately for the very first time in a very long time.
The Wirral RSPCA included: “He didn’t stop wagging his tail the entire time.
“That night he slept in a warm room on a clean, thick plump bed, the best uninterrupted sleep he had had in a long time, without the discomfort of fleas making him itchy and restless, his ears and eyes weren’t bothering him and he was able to walk without the piercing pain of a nail in his foot.”
Bobby has actually now been homed with a member of staff where his continuous conditions are being handled.
The branch included: “The result – A happy Bobby, there’s life in the old dog yet.”
