Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
We have seen a lot of very sick dogs over the last 10 years, but we can't think of any that we have seen that have been in worse condition than Frankie.
This beautiful boy came to us as an owner surrender after his medical condition was more than his family could manage, and despite all our knowledge, experience, and experts, we are confounded by his condition as well.
Frankie's transport brought him right to LeadER Animal Specialty hospital where the team there found a beautiful but emaciated boy, covered in sores - including his mouth and down his throat. His skin condition made him unable to eat and he was slowly starving to death. It was quickly determined that Frankie needed a dermatologist and Frankie made his way to VCA Hollywood, where he is now under the care of Dr. Hnot, Veterinary Dermatologist, and Dr. Fishkin, Critical Care Specialist.
Frankie has had biopsies of his skin lesions taken, he has been given a central line as his skin is so bad, and this poor boy even has lesions on his tongue and so he has a feeding tube as well to help get his strength up to keep fighting until we know what his condition is. The working theory is that "hopefully" it is some sort of auto-immune disease and not something more sinister.
Frankie has a long road ahead of him, but we will not give up on him until we know that we can't help him. We have run into some rough auto immune conditions before and once you know what you have and get it under control, the prognosis can be good and because of that, we don't want to throw in the towel yet.
Will you help us be there for Frankie? Your support makes us quite literally the only team who can take on cases this complex and each time you help us cover one, our war-chest is re-stocked to be able to help the next little one who needs the kind of care and love that only DRSF can give. Can Frankie count on you for even a dollar or two?
