Baby D
Baltimore City Animal Control officers had responded to a call from Baltimore Police during the execution of a search and seizure warrant. In the home, they found two-month-old puppy Baby D. Officers were informed that Baby D had been attacked by another dog in the house two days before. The owners had not sought medical care for Baby D, though it was clear he needed it—badly.
Baby D arrived at BARCS with wounds, including a big bite wound on his chest. He has a very swollen elbow and was not putting weight on his right front. Based on the information from Animal Control and the extent of the injuries, our team sent him out to a partner Franky Fund hospital, where they did surgery to explore, clean and suture the wounds and take X-rays of the leg.
Baby D had a severe radius/ulnar fracture that required amputation. Though his road to recovery was long, Baby D was a spunky, happy puppy. Once he had recovered from his surgery, Baby D was adopted into a loving home.
