Malnourished, covered in maggots and mistreated for who knows how many years. A Pointer was saved in recent days by the zoophile guards of Oristano: now Nola, as the dog has been renamed, is hospitalized in a veterinary clinic while her keeper has been reported.
The episode dates back to a few days ago and happened in a town in the Oristano area. «We were in that area to carry out another check – explains Roberto Fadda, coordinator of the zoophile guards and delegate of the Oristano Oipa section – when the dog suddenly emerged from a private farm». A call for help after having known only mistreatment for a long time. «She was in appalling conditions, at the limit of survival – he continues – The dog, about 10 years old, was skin and bones, you could see her skeleton».
The ASL veterinarian ascertained the state of extreme malnutrition and dehydration, furthermore on his body he had numerous abrasions covered with fly larvae and parasites. In addition to being affected by other pathologies. "Nola is now hospitalized in a veterinary clinic and is slowly recovering. As soon as she is in better conditions she can be given in temporary foster care to anyone who wants to give her back the love that has so far been denied to her" Oipa said.
