Sunset is now considered to be in fair condition.
Her white blood cell count has improved but vets still want to get her protein levels up. They say she was much more alert and responsive on Friday and were feeling “positive” about her progress.
Yesterday: She has a white blood cell count similar to an animal with cancer, but x-rays were positive for her heart, lungs and chest.
Sunset’s foster dad takes her home every night and brings her back in the morning for treatment.
Vets say Sunset is walking around and eating but her road to recovery is still a long one. She was allegedly used as a bait dog to train other dogs how to fight, and then left to die.
Lee County Domestic Animal Services is currently investigating this case of a stray female pit bull now in the care of Gulf Coast Humane Society GCHS.
At this point in the investigation Lee County Domestic Animal Services will not comment on Sunset’s wounds are the result of dog fighting or from an altercation with another dog not related to organized dog fighting.
Many of you have been helping out financially with her recovery, and the Humane Society says it couldn’t do this without your help.
