Summary

A street dog named Jimbo is receiving intensive care at an animal hospital after being rescued severely malnourished and infected with parasites and tick-borne illness. With IV fluids, medications, and 24/7 care, the team hopes he'll recover over the coming month now that he finally feels safe.

    Little Jimbo has taken a bit of a turn for the worse. We often see this with street dogs who come in very sick. Their little bodies just give up when they finally feel safe. Luckily he has everything he needs… (1/6) 🧵

    He has been sleeping for 23.5 hours a day. His biggest problem is his stomach. New food, medicines and virus means he has explosive diarrhoea (2/6)

  3. #3

    The ticks have sucked his blood out and infected it. His neck and skin is in agony from scarping it for months. His gums are white from anemia (3/6)

    We’re very lucky to have the little hospital. He is on a drip now, special injections to keep food down and building him up in lots of other ways with 24/7 care. (4/6)

    The team love him so much he even has his triple coated comfy bed in with him. Not all patients get that but he is so small and sick I think they are making an exception (5/6)

    Jimbo just needs to sleep for another a month with love, meds and good food. I’ve seen this so many times before. Now that he feels safe his body is showing its true sickness. We have all the tools to get him better. Keep your fingers crossed for him ❤️ (6/6)
