The cruelty and cruelty against the most innocent creatures of this Planet, seems to have no end. Even a global pandemic that continues to threaten to take our lives cannot make us ponder; and cases like the Malaga Plant and Animal Protection Association (SPAPMA) , have faced, let us be with the housekeeper on a topic, writes fancy4work
It’s a 9-month-old mastiff found in the most heartbreaking conditions
Ulises, the “puppy”, as it was called in the animal shelter, was fortunate enough to have a neighbor in Puerto de la Torre, in the capital Malaga, hear its weak and miserable cry.
As the woman approached, she gasped. In a container disguised among a pile of rubble is the poor puppy, praying to God for someone to feel that he is there, taking his last breath. SPAPMA has been alerted to the pup’s serious condition.
The depth of his sadness shows how much he has suffered
“Ulysses, that’s what we call him… Found in a crate, in a bag closed with rope,” they wrote on SPAPMA on June 4.
«Now he is torn between life and death at SOSCATYCAN, a 24-hour veterinary hospital. Cachetic, anemic, with multiple wounds… Urgent transfusion and trying to stabilize him. One more sample of human barbarism.
They really doubted that Ulysses would survive. They couldn’t understand how so much hatred and human rot could fit into this world.
It was necessary first to remove worms, fleas, ticks and lice, and clothe him so that he could recover his temperature. They celebrated that they could stabilize it, but there was a long way to go.
“One day after the discovery he was “disgusted”. Now they see him better because he has had a transfusion and has spent a night with serum and vitamins, with a few cans of special food to revive him, and he has recovered from hypothermia, especially because “he is a puppy and he really wants to live,” said the president of the protector.
The rescuers celebrated that he managed to stand up and was able to eat something solid
They shared the advances of the minimal progress of Ulysses. It broke their soul with pain to see his little eyes, where you could clearly see how much he had suffered, but the important thing is that he was being cared for and above all loved.
Ulysses got a little better every day
“His first walk down the street. He eats heartily, and likes to walk around, although sometimes he staggers and sits down. He hardly has muscle mass to support him ».
After his story went viral due to the harshness of his cruelty towards Ulises, SPAPMA began to receive various grants and donations. And all the prayers and support of the thousands of people who followed her evolution attentively.
Finally, on June 10, they reported the best news:
«Ulysses has just been discharged and is already on his way to his foster home. Thank you very much to all the people who have been involved so that Ulises has the opportunity to live.
We are glad that Ulysses was able to change his fate completely thanks to these angels, who gave everything to surround him with love and heal serious physical wounds. , but above all his broken heart.
Share this news to raise awareness and work together to stop these horrible acts of cruelty against the most innocent!

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.
