RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT/Gray News) – An animal shelter in Virginia says a dog has actually passed away after it was discovered abandoned last month.
Richmond Animal Care and Control revealed that a dog called Magnolia was put down today due to decreasing health.
Magnolia acquired attention late last month after WWBT reported that a male discovered her abandoned and starving with her a 5-month-old puppy.
The group at the shelter said they might hardly feel a pulse when they took her into care.
According to the shelter, Magnolia established pneumonia, and her lifestyle rapidly altered. Test results exposed she had toxoplasmosis, a health problem that arises from an infection with a typical parasite discovered in cat feces and infected food.
The infection triggered Magnolia to have muscle loss and esophagus and stomach problems, the group said. Her body might no longer endure treatments and rescuers said they made the hard choice to euthanize her.
“Magnolia deserved better, and we wish we could have saved her,” agents with Richmond Animal Care and Control said.
The group thanked the staff at Virginia Veterinary Centers for attempting their hardest to save Magnolia till the very end.
The shelter said Magnolia’s puppy, Margo, is succeeding and is anticipated to be available for adoption quickly.
