Today a stray dog who was rescued by DFW cocker rescue came in. His name is Sealey and he has burns over 25% of his body. We had to sedate him and remove the necrotic tissue as well as shave off the mats he was covered in. It took me 2 hours to clean and treat the burns. On days like this it is very hard to do my job I can only imagine the amount of pain this poor animal is in and besides keeping him heavily dosed with narcotics, there isn't very much we can do for his discomfort. The truly sickening thing is that in all reality a person did this to him, however for my own sanity I can only pray it was an accident. I don't want to believe that someone purposefully hurt this or any animal, he is so sweet and besides the obvious pain he is in all he wants to do is crawl in my lap and sleep.
