Lucky.....she is so Lucky - Found in the middle of Highway I-94 up by St. Cloud. Picked up by an amazing human being and took her to the vet.

Lucky has a hurt leg, and was infested with ticks and matts, they had to shave her tummy and around her ears, she has a large infected wound by her ear that was weeping and had maggots in it.  Her very infected ears had maggots in them as well.  She is hearworm positive and Lyme Disease positive.  She had Moist dermatitis infections infested with maggots and she has a bacterial infection.  Poor Baby Girl.  She weighs 49 pounds and is very malnurished. They have guessed her age to be around 6 years old.  She is very petitie and small.

Connie and Dayle brought her to me Thursday Night, she is eating 4 small meals a day and LOVES her food.  We are treating the Lymes and the sores and the bacterial infection and the ear infections.  Her leg is still very sore and we will make a trip to the vet early next week for another check.  They  are very painful for her and she wants to shake and scratch them, so we just follow her around and help remind her to leave them alone.

She is so shy and timid, not sure if she has really ever had much human loving.  But she is now and seems to like it.  She and Cindy get along just fine and Cindy seems to watch out over her. Lucky does like to go into the kennel that I brought  upstairs and she and Cindy sleep in my room, Lucky has been a perfect house guest.
