A dog in an extremely alarming state was discovered by chance on the beach of Morsalines (Manche) by walkers. The animal’s life hangs in the balance. A skeleton on legs”, such is the reflection one gets when looking at the poor dog found by a couple of walkers on the beach of Morsalines. On Wednesday, March 9, 2022, La Presse de la Manche reported that the skin-on-bones animal was assigned to the Cotentin SPA in Tollevast. His weight should be between 15 and 20 kilograms,” staff member Déborah informed colleagues.
As such, the rickety dog was entitled to a consultation with the veterinarian. Her stomach hurt after ingesting seawater and kelp. Besides receiving injections aimed at relieving him, the dog also received a manicure. Because of his extremely long claws, he was unable to walk normally. I also took a blood test, but not without difficulty, as the veins were too small,” said the volunteer.
No microchip or tattoo identify this animal, whose poor condition even prevents a precise age determination. Was he abandoned? Could it be a hunting dog that ran away or got lost? For how long has he wandered like a lost soul on the beach?
There are still so many questions that remain unanswered. The owner should not hesitate to contact our services if he recognizes his dog. The volunteer said, “But we have no illusions.”.
