Sheldon, a puppy with a severe case of mange, has found a new lease on life at PAWS Chicago. Upon arrival at the shelter, Sheldon’s condition was heartbreaking; his skin was inflamed, red, and chapped from the debilitating skin disease.
Mange, caused by mites, can lead to significant discomfort and is often accompanied by a loss of fur and severe itching.
Despite his condition, Sheldon’s gentle demeanor and need for affection did not go unnoticed. Shelter employees, equipped with gloves to protect themselves and comfort Sheldon, provided him with the love and attention he craved.
The touching video of Sheldon receiving care highlights his deep appreciation for the human contact, showing how even in the face of hardship, animals remain in need of social interaction and compassion.
In the video, the shelter captures Sheldon’s heartfelt response to being touched, with comments from viewers reflecting a strong emotional response.
“He needed that in so many ways,” one person wrote, while another commented, “He is soo beautiful. Such a sweet little boy.”
For those dealing with mange in their pets, it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian. Treatment often involves medicated baths and topical medications, which can effectively treat the condition.
Mange, though challenging, is treatable, and it’s vital to provide affected animals with the care and support they need.
