The BC SPCA is hoping animal lovers will rally to help six eight-week-old German shepherd puppies who were found abandoned in a remote area near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island. A passer-by heard the puppies香蕉视频直播 cries and alerted the SPCA.

香蕉视频直播淭he poor little pups were in rough shape,香蕉视频直播 said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of communications for the BC SPCA, in a press release. 香蕉视频直播淭hey were undernourished, with eyes crusted shut with infection when they were rescued, but they were still wagging their tails and were so sweet.香蕉视频直播

The puppies were suffering from severe demodectic mange, secondary skin infections, conjunctivitis, ear infections, worms and were infested with fleas. Four of the puppies will require entropion surgery to repair abnormalities in their eyelids, with two of the puppies requiring surgery in both eyes. Entropion is a condition where the eyelid is rolled inward and causes the eyelashes to rub against the eyeball.

香蕉视频直播淭he puppies have been receiving antibiotics and have been bathed daily for their mange, along with other medical treatments,香蕉视频直播 said Chortyk. 香蕉视频直播淭hey are now recovering in foster homes and are doing well. They are so well-behaved and are happy, energetic puppies.香蕉视频直播

The care cost for the six puppies is expected to exceed $4,000. Anyone wishing to help them, and other animals in need, can donate online at .

Chortyk noted that puppies will need several weeks to recover and are not up for adoption at this time.

With the SPCA香蕉视频直播檚 doors closed to the public, donations have petered out, says Sam Sattar, the Alberni-Clayoquot BC SPCA manager. 香蕉视频直播淲ithout the foot traffic, these donations have stopped and we don香蕉视频直播檛 know when we will be able to hold another fundraising event,香蕉视频直播 he said.
