About Mowgli:
We were contacted by a family down in Corpus about 3 bears, all boys, all 2 years old and one of them is injured. She’s been trying to get help from a rescue for weeks because she cannot afford to take care of them in any way.
Welcome to Dog Ranch Rescue Mowgli.

UPDATE 6/8/2022

Mowgli
It’s a serious challenge to get these three bear brothers healthy. They are so sick from parasites that we can’t even begin to think about neutering them. Fleas, various kinds of worms, ear mites, and heartworms have ravaged their bodies. They are anemic, have low red blood cell counts and albumin and all we can do is keep nurturing them with good food and vitamin and iron supplements to get them healthy enough for surgery. All of them are sick with heartworms and they continue to attack their bodies while we try and get them strong enough for the medicine they need to kill the heartworms.
They are young boys only two years old so we feel confident we will get them there but it’s been a challenge for sure.

None of these boys have any applications for them which is a shame. They are sweethearts and deserve a loving family of their own when they are ready.

UPDATE 5/14/2022

All of these boys were just covered in fleas and the scrubbing to get them free of external parasites began immediately.
The attack now is on internal parasites, tapeworm that is caused by fleas, ear mites and I’m sure their fecals will present with many other types of worms.
Obviously the worst parasite of all is heartworm, and dogs living in south Texas with no protection for heartworms and mosquitos being prevalent and unable to afford preventative leads us with these big boys sick with heartworms.
On top of all of that, they have yeast infections, bacterial infections and at least for now we know 2 of them have entropian and will need to have surgery to correct their eye lids to not cause pain or discomfort.
