Summary

Mr Big, an older dog who escaped and was severely attacked by a pack of street dogs, suffered critical injuries including puncture wounds and internal bleeding.

    We have a very hard case we have been working on for 10 days. Many of you will remember Mr Big. We believe he was attacked by a group of street dogs. I didn’t share him as I was worried he wouldn’t make it but we are seeing progress… (1/5) 🧵

    He escaped from where he lives. He has puncture wounds all over, bruising and internal Injuries. Our best guess is an attack by a group of dogs who shook him and bit him to within an inch of his life (2/5)

    He’s a much older boy. He actually couldn’t even move for 7 days so this is him progressing. I can explain how much patience the team have had with him. His pain was immense (3/5)

    He was so bad he couldn’t eat or drink for a week. He’s just started again. I didn’t share him because we didn’t think he’d make it. He was like a vegetable and it’s even harder as we know him as a big gentle goofball (4/5)

    The good news is you can see him back up walking 10 days later. He is still very ginger on his feet. Mr Big will hopefully continue to improve. He’s a very very good boy (5/5)
