Picked up by Animal Control in South Carolina, Lauren, just a baby of 4 months, was astounding to behold. She had hair loss from mange all over her body and was infested with lice, both causing itching and sores from scratching. Her eyes were raw, full of discharge, and crusted almost shut; her ears were infected, and she had a urinary tract infection. With multiple treatments, regular medicated baths, antibiotics, eye drops, and ear drops, her recovery took a while, and even now, some of her coat may never grow back. Happily, this very special sweetheart was adopted by her impressive foster family who had already given so much to her by helping her heal and falling in love.
