Help Rudra Recover From Severe Mange and Starvation

Almost every inch of Rudra’s body told the story of how long he had been suffering.

When we found him, his skin was crusted, bleeding, and painfully inflamed, with raw wounds and secondary infection covering a body already weakened by severe starvation and dehydration. He was extremely emaciated, frightened, and clearly exhausted from trying to survive on the streets.

Rudra’s mange was severe. When a street dog goes without treatment for mange for too long, the mites can cause extensive skin inflammation and damage, leaving the body vulnerable to painful wounds and secondary infection. That is exactly what happened to Rudra.

It wasn’t easy to catch him and bring him back for treatment. Rudra didn’t understand that we were there to help, and he was understandably frightened. But we knew we couldn’t leave him behind in the condition he was in.

Once Rudra was safely back at our sanctuary clinic, we sedated him so our team could carefully clean his damaged skin and wounds without causing him additional fear or distress.

Rudra is now receiving medication to treat his severe mange and secondary infection, wound care, fluids, good nutrition, and supportive veterinary care as his exhausted body begins the long process of healing.

His recovery will take time, but there is something Rudra has now that he didn’t have before: people who are fighting for him.

Your donation will help Soltis’ Hope Street Animal Rescue provide Rudra with the medications, veterinary care, wound care, and supplies he needs throughout his recovery.

We are caring for so many sick and injured street animals, and the cost of their medications, veterinary treatment, food, and supplies never stops. Rudra has already endured more than any dog should have to, and now we want to give him the chance to heal.

Please help Rudra begin his next chapter. Every donation helps provide the care he needs, and every share can help us reach someone who may be able to help.

Rudra spent far too long suffering alone. Now he has a team beside him. ❤️
