<p>On the 27th December Annie was picked up in a very poor state&nbsp;in Bristol.&nbsp;She had pus oozing out all over her body. She was seen wandering in the road, and was almost run over. We immediately took her to&nbsp;the Vets as she was in a state of collapse, and unable to open her eyes. The awful smell from her infected skin was overpowering. She was kept at the vets overnight as she was so poorly.</p> <p>The vet said she was at least 6 kilograms underweight, and the reason she couldn&rsquo;t open her eyes was because they were so badly infected. Her left eye is so badly ulcerated it will have to be removed, probably due to entropian left untreated for a very long time. This is an inrolling of the edge of the eyelid so that the lashes and hairs rub against the surface of the eye causing irritation, scarring and inflammation of the eyeball. This is extremely painful, uncomfortable and debilitating. Her right eye is also ulcerated but there is a good chance of the eye being saved by an operation&nbsp; which returns the lid margin to its normal position. A blood test confirmed she had a yeast and bacterial infection - her skin is red raw, and her paws very swollen and infected. All in all a very neglected and sad little dog. Annie, as the vet nurses named her, also has to have Malaseb baths daily to help heal her inflamed and broken skin. She is on painkillers, eye drops, and antibiotics and needs 5 meals a day. Right now all she wants to do is sleep and drink lots of water &ndash; she looks so pitiful.</p> <p>In about 6 to 8 weeks time, once Annie has gained weight and is feeling better in herself she will have to have her right eye removed. A few weeks after that she will need her left eye operated on in the hope it will be saved and she will be able to open her eye and be able to see without being in pain.</p> <p>Annie is a young dog and deserves the chance to live a normal, happy life. Whatever happens Annie will get that chance, but we are looking at almost &pound;3,000 in vets fees which will be crippling for the Charity. Any donations to help this poor little mite would be truly appreciated &ndash; however small, every penny counts.</p> <p>You can also text your amount by quoting LWNC63 followed by the amount you would like to donate and send to 70070.</p> <p>Please check the amount &amp; reference number before sending!!</p> <p>Thanks again for all of your help :O)</p>
