Patricia Reyes was driving to work in Corpus Christi, Texas, when she came across a group of starving and overheated puppies on the side of the road on a blistering hot day.

She incontinently turned her auto around to help the poor puppies. She tried to feed one of them a sandwich and give her some water but she didn’t want moreover.

Reyes posted about the pets on Facebook, in the expedients of getting them some help.

Elizabeth Lilly, who has been a canine helper for the 20 years, saw Reyes’Facebook post and agreed to help.

One pup who was alive when Lilly was on her way, had failed before she got there. The doggy, who Lilly named Ainsley, had crawled into a book shelf and snuggled up inside as to seek comfort he’d noway known. He also laid his little head over the shelf and failed.

His family, Aline, failed beside a trash bag, as though looking for food.

The surviving pup was in bad situation and demanded immediate medical attention. Lilly got him into her auto right down and drove her to PeeWees vet sanitarium.

Lilly kept hugging her and telling her to hold on and fight. Her head fell back and her eyes unrestricted and she appeared breathless several times, but she kept coming back and didn’t give up.

She decided to name this doggy Grace.

Thanks to his saviors and an amazing vet staff, Grace is perfecting every day. He’ll go to a deliverance coming week, where he’ll be available for relinquishment.

“ I used to suppose we had a slapdash problem; we don’t,” Lilly told 3 News. “ We’ve a humanity problem.”

“ It shouldn’t be an option to leave them on the side of the road in a community with the coffers we’ve now,” Lilly continued. “ There are several deliverances that will take them, if you give them a chance.”

Lily has since cremated Ainsley and Aline and has their remains in a special place with the rest of her deliverances that she couldn’t save.

10 Common Dog Health Problems

Some health problems are specific to certain breeds, such as breathing complications for flat-faced dogs. But several other canine health issues can affect any dog. Here are 10 typical health conditions you need to watch out for in your four-legged best friend:

Top 10 Common Dog Health Problems

Skin Problems

One of the most obvious signs that your dog has a skin condition is itching. Other symptoms that may suggest that your dog has a skin problem include rashes, redness, dry skin, lumps, bumps, skin sores, dandruff, and hair loss.

Ear Diseases

Approximately 20 percent of dogs suffer from ear disease. It’s particularly common in breeds with floppy ears like cocker spaniels and basset hounds. It’s common to see wax buildup or discharge in their ear canal. But others may experience pain, itchiness, redness, swelling, and crusting in the ears.

Urinary Tract Infections

Simply known as UTI, this condition can make it uncomfortable for your beloved companion to pass urine. Signs of urinary tract infection include drinking water more than usual and passing urine more often than usual. Your dog may also only pass a small amount or lose bladder control. Additionally, you may see blood in their urine or notice a strong smell to it.

Vomiting

There are countless reasons why your pet may throw up. You don’t need to visit the vet each time your dog vomits. But it’s also not something you can just ignore. Don’t try to guess. If the vomiting persists or occurs with other symptoms like diarrhea or lethargy, you need to rush to the vet. It could be a sign of severe health problems, such as poisoning or gastrointestinal blockage.

Diarrhea

This symptom may occur on its own or be accompanied by vomiting. Its potential causes are similar to vomiting. One or two episodes of diarrhea may not be a pet emergency. But recurring diarrhea can result in dehydration.

Parasites

At some point in their lives, your pet may have to deal with discomfort due to internal or external parasites. Symptoms of parasites generally vary, depending on a few factors. These include the kind of parasite that has plagued your pet, where it lives, and how severe its infestation is.

Dental Issues

Like us, your dog can develop canine dental diseases due to high levels of plaque buildup. Several signs indicate that your pet may have dental disease. These include difficulty eating, bleeding of the gums or teeth, loose teeth, and bad breath.

Obesity

Nearly 30 percent of the general dog population is considered obese. Several factors contribute to a pet’s risk. These include age, genetic predisposition, lack of exercise, and overfeeding, among others.

Arthritis

This joint problem can restrict your dog’s mobility. Bring Fido to the vet if you see your dog slow down or limp before and after walks. Other signs include licking or chewing on tender areas and behavioral changes.

Poisoning

Symptoms of dog poisoning vary widely, depending on the kind of toxin a pet has been exposed to. The signs can range from vomiting to drooling, breathing difficulties, seizures, or worse, coma. Some of the most common poisonous substances are human foods like chocolates, grapes, raisins, onions, and caffeine. Other known culprits are human medications, household cleaning products, pesticides, and some plants.
