Rose wandered alone, her appearance and the
foul smell that came from her mange infected body offended many people. She was shunned. She ate from the garbage what ever scraps she
could find. I am not going to ask the
questions regarding why or how she got to this condition. I will never find
the answers. This is a time to move
forward. Mange is curable. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there and the blood test at
the vet found she also has Leishmania. This, too, is curable . There is no need for Rose to have suffered so
much.
