What a pathetic sight was sweet Goldie when a young Nepalese couple brought her to our centre. Her hairless grey skin, dry, scaly and sagging. Her pathetic scrawny body crowned only by a ruff of golden mane. A thin and uncomfortable little street dog.
With proper medication, nutritious food and love, Goldie soon began to recover. Within two months, the majority of her fur had grown back and she was strong enough to be spayed. Goldie showed herself to be a sweet, lovable, playful dog full of energy and affection. It took a further 6 weeks of daily medication and treatment with coconut oil for most of the remainder of her beautiful, long golden coat to return.
Goldie went back to the area where she had been living as a street dog. She has come back into the CDWK centre twice since 2016 for repeat treatment of her mange. She recovered both times but due to her advanced age, we have decided to keep her in the shelter. Goldie died on 17 December 2022.
