| Photo sent to CCR |
Update Nov: Luci continues to battle with this condition and has been going to the vet on a regular basis. We couldn't of done this without your support. As soon as Luci's foster mom sends us an update we will get it and the photos posted. Again thank you for your generous donations.
Intake Info: Our poor Luci...warning what you are about to see is utterly disgusting, disturbing, and 100% preventable. All that was needed was treatment of an ear infection!

| In constant pain...hurts to eat! |
The photo of Luci in her kennel is what CCR was sent along with the request of surrender from the vet/kennel where she and two other Corsos were abandoned by their owner. The photos of a disfigured Corso is what we found when Luci arrived at our foster home.
Luci, previously Legacy, is doing very poorly. Her infection is no better, though she has been on heavy antibiotics and in to see our vet twice. Yesterday she went in for her spay. However, we were pretty sure it wouldn't be done because she wan't well enough for it. Well, within an hour my suspicions were confirmed. Luci is having a hard time eating now and really doesn't want anyone to touch her head :-( She has been diagnosed with myotitis. It is an infection of her muscle, and I believe it is her mandible. This poor girl is very much in pain and HAS BEEN IN PAIN FOR SOME TIME! How could a vet allow this to continue for over a month?! We are disgusted and very upset about it. Poor Luci has been suffering and now Rescue has to come up with the money to treat this darling girl. Please help us!!

Intake Information: Beautiful 1 year old, red brindle female is awaiting her forever home. We don't have a great deal of information on Luci except that she gets along with other dogs and has already had one litter of pups. We are certain the sole reason of her purchase was to be a breeding machine but no more babies for this girl. Now she will live the life of royalty. If you think you have that special home please complete an application because this beauty will want for a home for very long. She is an absolute sweetheart.
Could you please post more photos of Lucy?
ReplyDeleteYes, we will post pictures of Lucy as soon as we get her healthy. She came to us with severe ear infections, and a systemic infection due to untreated ear infections. She is on the road to recovery and should be 100% in no time!
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDeletePlease keep us updated on this poor sweet girl.
She reminds me so much of my Conan when he was rescued, so sick. We're going to keep watching and helping out in any way we can to help her get better and have the life she deserves.
Is it myositis? If so, does she need to be on corticosteroids?
ReplyDeleteHow is Luci doing now? Came across her story when looking for more info about Cane Corso rescues when I saw this beautiful boy on PetPardons (http://apps.facebook.com/petpardons/pet-view/id/17080). Hope she is no longer in pain and getting back to being a normal happy dog. Thank you for taking care of her and others like her in need.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Luci Lu was doing I haven't seen any updates???
