Lily is a 7 year old American Cocker Spaniel in Houston, TX, who needs $700 for Emergency Hospitalization and Skin Treatment.

Lily has been suffering from neglect for a very long time. The sad part is that she is microchipped and has been owned her whole life. Her owner has been sick and in the hospital, so the brother was trusted to care for Lily. She was apparently missing for a week when she was found. The owner surrendered Lily to ThisIsHouston to give Lily the best chance at recovery.

Lily was found with wounds and maggots all over her body. Once she arrived to the ER, she was sedated, cleaned up, and shaved down. She has severe chronic skin issues, even on her forehead, and she’s itchy all over. There are old wounds which go all down her spine. She’s blind with cataracts in both eyes. The inside of both ears are narrowed from chronic ear infections.

She likely had chronic skin and ear issues her whole life which weren’t managed. Bloodwork has been showing elevated white blood cell count so she’s battling infection somewhere. She had a fever of 107 when she arrived to the ER on Sunday. She has no appetite. Her stomach and small intestine are both full of fluid which will need to be pulled off.

Lily has an extremely long road ahead. This poor girl is a mess. ThisIsHouston is determined to do everything they can to make her better. Please consider donating to help this sweet soul receive the necessary treatment.

Update:
After treating her ears, eyes, and skin conditions, Lily is finally on the road to recovery! Now that she is feeling better, she is revealing her spunky personality. In even better news, she has found her forever home.
However, Lily's medical bills still remain. Please consider donating to help cover the cost of her treatment.
