The Sheltie I rescued

Remember the sheltie I rescued more than a week ago? She is now on kibbles only, willing to eat and she can stand properly now.  She is still not 100 percent but is SO much better than what she was..She was skin and bones, malnourished, had maggots in her ears, ticks on her body and couldnt even stand properly.  I visit her everyday and check with my vet everyday on her progress.

Today we weight her and she has put on some weight, which is a great sign.  When she came in, she was only 5kg!!  She is about the same built and size of Jenna, and Jenna is almost 9kg and this rescued sheltie is only half of that.  Jenna's weight is perfect, which means this sheltie should weigh at least the same as her.  She is still being treated and she would still need to be on medication for another two weeks.  But I am very happy to see some difference in her everyday and she is improving each day.

I didnt take a picture of her when she first came in to the vet, firstly I was too busy getting her well and secondly I kept forgetting my camera.  Today, more than a week later, I managed to take a picture of her.  This picture was taken today.  If you think she is in bad shape, judging on how she looks in the pic today, if you had seen her a week earlier, you would be sick!  I was!!

I dont even know her name, she probably never had a name too.  I just call her Sweetheart, whenever I see her and whenever I talk to her.  All shelties have a sweet heart.

This is what she looks like today.  I am going to make sure she looks like a proper sheltie again.  With a smile on the face.
