Introducing Princess, a 15-month-old English bulldog who miraculously survived after being discovered unconscious in the street.
The princess was suffering from demodectic mange. She was severely malnourished and weighed 18 pounds, 12 ounces (far less than a healthy weight for a bulldog her age, which should be about 45 pounds).
Her condition was so bad that she was unable to stand.
Fortunately, Adopt A Bull Rescue stepped in. I immediately took Princess to the vet for care.
During the examination it was found that the princess had been suffering from mange since she was a puppy. Sadly, the previous owners bought it from a store. They brought her back as soon as they discovered she had this disease.
Exactly what happened after Princess was returned to the store or puppy mill is still unknown. However, there is a suspicion at Adopt A Bull Rescue that whoever had custody of Princess intentionally neglected her until they abandoned her.
Nowadays their main focus is on taking care of the princess’s health. The good news is that recovery is expected!
With time and care, the princess was able to gain some weight and regain her mobility. It’s incredible how much of a difference a few days of love can make. Here’s another great update; The princess has found a home. It has been approved!
