AFFECTED FROM A SERIOUS GENETIC DISEASE, DEPRIVED OF CARE AND THEN ABANDONED BECAUSE “FAULTY”



Published
The story of Melinda is the sad story of many other dogs bred only for profit. A business that doesn’t care about animals as sentient beings but considers them a commodity and that’s what happened to Melinda. A female Italian mastiff, born 2 years ago in a puppy mill who got seriously sick for a genetic disease and instead of being treated and helped by her owners, was abandoned like a defective product.
OIPA Italy’s volunteers decided to assist and take care of her. Affected from DSRA (dental-skeletal-retinal anomaly), she was also found underweight and small in size. She got a surgery for an hematoma of the ear, a second one for a protrusion in her ulcerated and sore eyes and the extraction of almost all her teeth due to a serious gum inflammation.
Unfortunately, after five months of care and treatment her conditions are still very critical. She has started becoming partially-sighted and deaf and most probably soon she will be completely blind.
OIPA volunteers are trying with all their efforts to assist and support this beauty warrior.

Melinda deserves a better future, all together we can help
