Elderly Dog Suffers From Severe Neglect After Owner’s Death, Found With 9lb Of Fur

Ellie Mae, a Shih Tzu, was found  imprisoned and immobile in her own fur. When Ellie Mae was brought to  Nebraska Humane Society, the vets couldn’t believe in their eyes, they had never seen something like that.

Ellie Mae belonged to a woman, who died years ago. What’s very surprising is that the woman’s  relative  had know idea that she had a pet. The dog was 11 years old and everybody was wondering how did this poor pup survived all those years alone. The team started immediately Ellie Mae’s treatment,  chopping her 7-inch claws, and shaving her 9-pound fur!

Unfortunately Ellie  suffers from arthritis and has infected foot. Vet are going to do a surgery to repair a hernia and a few dental work. As soon as Ellie Mae gets healthy again she is going to be ready for adoption.
