On arrival, she was thin, weak and sad, covered in ticks, dehydrated and suffering from severe aneamia. She was diagnosed with tick fever and we immediatly received the appropriate treatment, which took around four weeks. Day by Day she recovered more, starting to not only enjoy the regular food but also cuddles ands attention.
When she physically recovered, she was adopted with the promise that she would never have one single tick ever again. Tick fever is a very common disease in Cape Verde, but unfortunately not all cases have the same happy ending.
Recovered from an advanced stage of vector-borne disease transmitted by ticks.
Was amputatated after a road traffic accident. She couldn’t have adapted better to her new condition.
The most famous dog from Tarrafal São Nicolau, Cabo Verde, got even more famous for wearing a collar.
