When Butterscotch came into our care from Dekalb County Animal Services, she was covered head - to - toe in
painful open sores, her skin infested with itchy mites.
She had the bumps allover her body and face, but they had not
opened yet into
open sores, except for one inside her mouth which had
opened up and was extremely
painful.
Because of their lack of veterinary care and treatment and the unsanitary, inhumane living conditions, the dogs were suffering from a range of medical issues, including severe and
painful dental disease, mammary tumors, severe matting of the fur, fur loss and skin inflammation, ear and eye infections, internal and external parasites (such as fleas), mammary tumors, reddened and raw feet from urine scalding and the wire flooring, significantly overgrown nails, and untreated
open wounds and
sores.
