USA- Chained Cocker is Reunited with Man who Loves Him, a Great Happy Ending Story!
Neal and Buster haven't seen each other in a long ten months. Buster, a cocker spaniel mix, and Neal had traveled together to Tennessee from Pennsylvania, but Neal had to ride the bus home, alone. He is in a wheelchair and unable to drive, so could not find anyone to bring him and Buster home together. He then suffered heart failure (odd, huh, maybe it was from missing Buster, who he describes as 'his only friend'?), Buster was chained outside by Neal's nephew (who pledged to care for him), and left with very little food, water, and no shelter. A long ten months later, Neal requests help from CPAA, and they coordinate with DDB to bring Buster home. What an amazi

This completely blind cow, also suffering from starvation and mastitis, was unfathomably brought to auction by a producer hoping to make a few dollars off her. Her blindness was caused by pink eye, a bacterial infection that could have been completely treated with a round of antibiotics.

She was laming badly, had acute mastitis (a painful bacterial infection of her udder) and had a teat cut off.Diary producers don't like to treat mastitis as it means the cow must be pulled from the production line during treatment. Instead, many allow the bacterial infection to progress, often spreading to one or both hind legs, causing lameness.Because cows have such a high centre of gravity, they need to be stable and strong on all four legs during transportation. If they are not, the go do
SPAIN- MERRICK NEEDS HELP
When Merrick was taken to the vet, she was very concerned about his condition especially the level of emaciation.Merrick, like Gisela (who you may remember from August), was given only small quantities of food regularly in order not to shock his pancreas, which would have been affected by the lack of nutritionWhen he was captured, Merrick drank almost a litre of water and this was a sign of significant dehydration. There is a growth on his tummy, which will be diagnosed and removed once he gets castrated. Happily, he is Leishmania negative which means at least he wont have to fight that condition as well.As a legally registere
