Saved a dying puppy on the street

Hello, and thank you for reaching out. It's truly wonderful you were able to help that puppy in need. Let’s get to figuring out how you can best care for this little one.



When you find a puppy on the street, several factors are often involved. Puppies can get separated from their mother and siblings, face nutritional issues, or be exposed to weather extremes. Common immediate concerns include dehydration, malnutrition, parasites, injuries, or infections.



First, check the puppy for visible signs of injury or distress. If the puppy seems exhausted, try offering lukewarm water or a mix of water and a small amount of sugar to help with energy. Ensure a warm, safe environment to help stabilize the puppy’s body temperature.



Watch for serious signs including persistent vomiting, diarrhea, heavy labored breathing, or extreme lethargy. These symptoms could indicate more severe health issues like infections or internal injuries that require immediate veterinary care.



I'd recommend booking a video consultation with one of our veterinarians to guide you through the next steps and ensure this puppy gets the comprehensive care it might need. We're here to help you get this little one back on the path to a healthy, happy life!
