FULTON

ATLANTA, GA.....We were contacted yesterday evening late to help with a three-year-old Shih Tzu we named Fulton that had just been picked up.   He was taken to the off-site Vet, for Fulton County Animal Control.   His head injuries were so bad that they were not comfortable sedating him, so we were contacted.   They sent us pictures that were so bloody that we could not even figure out which end was what.   I immediately said we would take him, and Volunteers began working on getting him to Charleston, SC to the ER facility we use there.   

 

As distressing as the pictures are of Fulton, they do not even come close to describing the horrible condition he is in.  He was attacked in such a horrible way that we cannot even determine how this could have happened.   Fulton does not have any bite wounds of any kind.  He is swollen and bruised all over his head, and it appears his jaw is broken.  His left ear is so mangled that it is almost torn off.   Fulton's tail has large sections of skin that are torn away and will eventually have to be amputated because the damage is so severe.  Fulton is heavily sedated because of all the trauma he has endured.  The ER Vet also thinks his jaw is broken but does not want to move it any more than necessary because he is in such horrible pain.

 

Whatever happened to this sweet boy was vicious and horrifying.   The surgeons will have to wait until he is stable, and some of the swelling is down before they can thoroughly evaluate him.   The thought someone intentionally did this is beyond unsettling.    Sweet Fulton looks like he was intentionally tortured.  The Rescue Coordinator I work with will let me know if they find out any new information concerning sweet Fulton and what happened to him.
