Zhuzha, a stray dog, wandered around the streets with a bloated stomach and a limp. The rescue team from Love Furry Friends noticed the poor animal’s condition and promptly realized that she needed urgent medical attention.

A kind-hearted woman from the rescue team approached a random person and inquired about Zhuzha’s whereabouts. The individual then revealed that Zhuzha had already undergone spaying, thus negating the possibility of pregnancy as the cause of her swollen belly.

As I saw the tag on the dog’s ear, I was relieved that she had undergone the city’s spay/neuter program. However, upon further inspection, I couldn’t help but notice her unusually large belly that was hindering her movement. Looking up at me with her cute, puppy dog eyes, Zhuzha seemed to be pleading for help from the kind woman standing before her.

As soon as it was noticed that Zhuzha’s tummy was swollen, she was immediately taken to the vet. The vet concluded that her heart condition was causing fluid buildup in her abdomen. Therefore, her belly had to be drained. The surgery went well, and Zhuzha felt much better afterward!

After a couple of days, the person who rescued Zhuzha came to visit her. The little dog was very happy to see her savior and enjoyed some delicious treats. They spent some quality time together, which was heartwarming to witness. It truly was a remarkable rescue! Now, Zhuzha is patiently waiting for her forever home in a secure environment where she will be taken care of with love and kindness.
