Melo
Male - Mixed Breed
Age: April 2023 | Weight: 30kg
Melo was reported on a Thursday night in Centro Bucerias. He had blood running out of his nose and wounds on his body. We were able to find transport for him to our emergency/after hours vet where he stayed the night. He had erlichea, very low platelets, which cause his blood to be like water. Thankfully it’s a common, easily treatable condition with antibiotics. He will be on those for 30 while starting his other protocols; vaccines, neuter, etc.
Many people town know this dog from hanging around in town and on the beach. The owners were located. They claimed he never wanted to be tied up and was always on the run. We offered to provide the antibiotics if they could administer but they asked us to find him a new home. In our care, he is out free range with many dogs. He seems relatively quiet and very sweet. He is great with other dogs and shows no aggression or reactivity at all. He would make a wonderful companion! He is available for adoption but needs some time to be fully ready. Likely we can have him ready mid-end May.
