Brodick’s story is both heart-wrenching and touching. After being pursued by other dogs, poor Brodick fell into a river where he became trapped.
When he was rescued, the injuries he sustained were evident. He had bruises and swellings all over his neck, head, ears, and cheeks, with an especially severe injury to his left eye, which was partially closed.
It was a dire situation, and his appearance truly reflected his desperation.
At six in the morning, a compassionate stranger found Brodick and brought him to an emergency veterinarian.
The vet identified that Brodick was in significant pain due to herniated discs in his spine and started treating him to relieve some of the pain.
Despite his hardships, Brodick showed intelligence and a gentle nature, even though life hadn’t been kind to him. There was hope that his suffering would soon end.
As his journey to recovery progressed, the scratches and bites on his body mostly healed, and his skin became smooth. He was starting to eat better, although he had lost some weight. He was also supported by a belt to help guide him as he walked.
The changes to his wheelchair allowed Brodick to enjoy the outside air again. However, things took a turn when it was discovered that parts of his body were deteriorating, and his basic health situation remained unchanged.
He was eating, drinking, and maintaining regular bodily functions. Unfortunately, necrosis was spreading rapidly, which led to violent seizures overnight.
The efforts to manage the condition with treatment were insufficient, as the illness continued to advance.
Further complications arose when it was discovered that Brodick had a cancerous tumor in his spine, which had spread to the soft tissue.
Blood tests also indicated the onset of sepsis. Even the strongest pain medications could only provide temporary relief.
After careful consideration, the veterinarians decided to let Brodick find peace, free from his pain.
“Soft clouds to you in paradise, our sweet Brodick.”
