    3 days ago we got a report of a young puppy. Locals were frantic with worry. We were told it had been poisoned. It was time to swing into action as time was very limited (1/7) 🧵

    We got her into our hospital and onto life support. The team had to clean out her stomach. (2/7)

    It was very touch and go for the first 24 hours. We struggled to find the problem. Snake bite? Poison? Accident? Abuse? (3/7)

    The team eventually got her stabilized but she wasn’t able to lift her head and she had lost all ability to stand or control her limbs. Her body was in agony all over (4/7)

    Today I’ve seen the most progress. I absolutely don’t want to rush her but I also don’t want her to wallow. She is starting to get some mobility back and lots of strength in the neck. Still no walking but we are hopeful that might come (6/7)

    It’s still a mystery what happened to little Espresso but it was certainly something very traumatic. Keep your fingers crossed for her 🙏 (7/7)
