He suffered serious injuries, likely a spinal injury… With his back legs unable to move, he dragged himself along the concrete and roads. His back paws were swollen and covered in wounds from the harsh surface.
Shivering from the cold, he seemed scared of us, not realizing that we wanted to help. How long he endured this suffering, we can only imagine. What matters now is that he is found and safe. Tomorrow, he will visit the vet for a full examination and treatment.
His body temperature is stable, and he tested negative for vector-borne diseases. A catheter was inserted for his full bladder, as urine leaked onto the syringe—his incontinence indicating a possible bladder issue.
Nik showed some response to touch and pain during the sensitivity exam, a promising sign. We started him on antibiotics to ease the spinal pressure and added Dexamethasone, hoping this combined treatment would aid his recovery.
For the next few days, Niko and I will focus on his therapies and infusions. Sadly, Nik still only eats meat, refusing other foods and vomiting after every meal. Despite this, he has shown incredible patience during each intervention, and today, for the first time, he wagged his tail. While his chances of walking normally are slim, there is still hope. We will give it our all…
