 Morena needed extensive care to get her health back ( Jam Press/Shaw Pit Bull Rescue) "[The good samaritan] stated the dog had wounds all over her body, and eyes were matted shut. "We were full, but after seeing her photos, we quickly made room and asked the rescuer to meet us at our vet with the dog," Aimee said. "It [her skin condition] had gone untreated for so long that she also had bacterial and yeast infections as well as open sores and scabs all over her tiny body. "She weighed in at only 24 pounds and for the first several days, she was too weak for actual medications to help her condition." The pup was given medical baths every other day and daily eye drops to help her infected and swollen eyes. Aimee said: "We weren't sure if she would be blind or able to see. "It took about a week before she could fully open her eyes and was well enough to begin the strong antibiotics to help her skin. "As well as the medical baths she also had to wear doggie sweaters and pyjamas to keep her warm since her hair was so patchy." Despite){kind=link}
The pit bull puppy who has been named Morena was found covered in wounds by a concerned member of the public. Despite being adopted once she was found again wandering the streets
A pit bull puppy has made an incredible transformation after being found nearly blind with her eyes matted shut.
Aimee Shaw, 52, and Kenneth Shaw, 52, who are the founders of Shaw Pit Bull Rescue, received a call from a concerned member of the public who spotted the dog with wounds all over her body.
The couple, from Columbus, Mississippi, US, had a full house at the rescue centre but after being sent photos knew they had to make room for the dog, who they later named Morena.
The poor puppy, who was just five and a half months old, was suffering from a horrific case of demodectic mange, an inflammatory skin condition caused by microscopic mites.
