永和癱瘓狗 「來福 」

图片
2013年5月中,Taiwan SPCA接獲民眾通報在永和有一隻後腳癱瘓狗在地上拖行,且不知道飼主是否有提供必要之醫療,因此請本協會調查員前去關心。

TSPCA調查員抵達現場並與飼主交談後得知,飼主是位80多歲的老伯伯,老伯伯說狗狗叫來福、一隻中大型米克斯、至少有12歲了,來福在前幾天突然站不起來,但伯伯因為年紀大、體力不夠,無法抱牠去看醫生,經過協會內部商量後,調查員立即帶來福前往獸醫院做檢查,獸醫幫來福照過X光後,發現來福是因為骨刺引起的癱瘓,但因為來福年紀很大的關係,動手術將有較高的危險性,因此決定以先吃止痛藥再觀察狀況。

TSPCA調查員送來福回家後,除了提供來福所需的所有藥物,也提供了一大箱的狗罐頭及蚤不到,希望能增加來福的食慾及減少跳蚤造成的皮膚脫毛情形。詳細地告知老伯伯來福的健康情況,並轉告飼主不應再餵食油鹹的食物,只能餵食狗狗的飼料或罐頭,並要求要記得定期幫來福點除蚤劑。老伯伯跟我們說,原本看來福這麼痛苦,又因自已年邁及經濟狀況而難以維持來福的生活品質,本來想通報市公所帶來福去收容所安樂死,但是又不忍心,還好有愛心民眾和Taiwan SPCA的關心,來福才能接受治療。

就醫當天,來福的狀況本來很不好,連獸醫都覺得如果飼主無法承諾全心全意地照顧的話,將導致來福的未來生活品質非常差,甚至有考慮安樂死的可能性(癱瘓狗狗若無細心照顧,拖行部位將有傷口潰爛、褥瘡發炎、無法控制排瀉狀況等),但在來福在吃了幾天止痛藥後,我們得知來福後腳已經沒有那麼痛,而且可以站起來,慢慢行走了!動物的堅強求生意志,恐怕也是當初始料未及的。所以請不要忽略動物求生的意志力,對於受傷生病的動物應該先盡全力給予治療,不要放棄一絲希望,若真有困難,也請向他人求助,可以上網尋求善心人士協助,或是向民間動保團體求助,至於通報縣市政府動保處或棄養於收容所絕對是最後、最不得已的選擇。

Taiwan SPCA呼籲您,如果有發現任何可疑的虐待、忽視案件請立即聯絡台灣SPCA或相關主管機關。

Lai-Fu, the seemingly paralyzed dog from YongHe!

The Taiwan SPCA received a report in mid May, about a dog whose hind limbs seemed to be paralyzed and who was dragging himself around the streets of YongHe. It wasn’t clear if he had an owner, and if he did if they were providing adequate medical care, so the Taiwan SPCA went to the scene as soon as the call was received.

Once the TSPCA investigators arrived on the scene, they spoke with the owner and found that he was a frail 80 year old man who was not able to pick up or carry LaiFu to the vet clinic himself. He said LaiFu was at least 12 years old and suddenly became paralyzed a couple of days prior. The SPCA investigators knew he had to have immediate medical attention so took him to the vet with the owner’s consent. The vet took an X-Ray and found the paralysis was caused by Spondylosis of his spine (bone spurs), a common problem with older dogs. Unfortunately the only ‘cure’ for this problem is surgery, but sadly LaiFu is too old and frail for surgery, so with our vet’s advice we decided on a more conservative therapy of pain maintenance with pain medication.

After the SPCA investigators brought LaiFu home, they not only provided his owner with all his medications but also gave him some supplements such as canned food to improve his appetite and flea and tick prevention to help with his skin condition. After explaining clearly about LaiFu’s condition to his owner, we also let him know that dogs shouldn’t be fed greasy salty ‘lunchbox’ food as they’re not only bad for the health, but also very bad for animal’s skin. LaiFu’s owner told us, with tears in his eyes, that considering his own age, frailty and financial situation, he was not able to maintain LaiFu's quality of life and had planned to call the government shelter and ask them to euthanize Lai-Fu to relieve him of his pain, but in the end he just couldn't do it. Luckily because of the kindness and concern of passersby the SPCA was informed and were able to get LaiFu the medicine and food needed.

At the vet’s, we were even given a somber prognosis; that euthanasia might be the only option if LaiFu’s owner was not able to provide the care needed. Bone spurs are very painful and often dogs who drag themselves around will develop ulcers of the skin, inflammation of the limbs and wont’ be able to control where they urinate or defecate. Surprisingly, a couple of days after taking pain meds, LaiFu was not in as much pain and was able to stand up and walk at a slow pace. All animals have a strong will to survive just as people do and they should not be given up on so easily. Sick or injured animals should at least be given proper treatment and medical management before any rash decisions are made, this is usually all that is needed, as well as patience. Don’t underestimate the power of the Internet to help situations like LaiFu’s.  And finally, keep in mind relinquishing animals to the government shelters should always be the very last possible choice.


A friendly reminder from the SPCA, if you come across any situations that seem like an animal is being abused or neglected, please contact the Taiwan SPCA.
