There's no telling precisely how many countless many animal lives have been saved by Vet Ranch through the work they've funded almost entirely on donations, but if their YouTube channel is any indication, the number is significant.
Just recently, Dr. Matt and his team of qualified vets took in a mangy puppy named Scrappy whose entire body was covered by demodectic mange. He was on his way to being euthanized, as his skin condition made him a tough contender against puppies of much healthier condition. The kicker? After just a few weeks with a regular shampoo and a healthy dose of TLC, the pup looked just as adorable and healthy as any other.
The small dog in the video below shares a similar story.
On death's door, Tater was on the fast track to being put down. He was lethargic, dehydrated, and plagued by fleas and virus — bad signs for any puppy, and Dr. Karri of the Vet Ranch team acknowledged there was a chance he wouldn't make it.
With some care, rehydration, and proper medication, Tater made a graduation recovery. By the end — and much like many other Vet Ranch rescues — he was nearly unrecognizable. Take a look for yourself below, and visit the Vet Ranch website for more information about their work.
