No words can truly describe what I felt when I witnessed Hannah’s story.
A man stopped his car by the roadside, took Hannah out, c.h αined her to a pole, and drove away.
At first, Hannah sat quietly where she was left. Her eyes followed her owner, still waiting for him to come back.
Then she realized. She began to cry out in distress.
People passed by and stared. No one stopped to help.
Hannah’s condition was cr.i ŧical. She was extremely weak, exhausted, dirty, neglected, and terrified.
Her belly was abnormally swollen, hard like a drum.
All she had known in life was hunger, ill.n ℮ss, and abandonment.
When I approached her, Hannah placed her front paws on my knees and gently wagged her tail.
Her eyes were filled with t.e αrs. Her body was trembling.
Then she went into s.h σck. I rushed her to a veterinary clinic immediately.
Fluid had filled her abdominal cavity, putting dangerous pressure on her internal organs.
Urgent diagnostics were needed: ultrasounds, X-rays, b.l σod tests, pain relief, and drainage.
Finding the cause of the fluid was critical to saving her life.
Despite intensive care, Hannah’s condition remained unstable. The pressure even caused a u.t ℮rine p.r σlapse.
Veterinarians drained the fluid multiple times and performed b.l σod transfusions.
But the fluid kept returning. Her belly continued to swell.
The cause was still unclear.
Neither b.l σod work nor ultrasound provided a clear answer. Without a precise diagnosis, proper treatment was impossible.
A difficult but necessary decision was made — Hannah needed a specialist.
We took her on a long journey to a specialized clinic, holding on to hope that someone could finally understand what was dest.r σying her body.
During the trip, Hannah was anxious. She seemed afraid we would abandon her, just like before.
After comprehensive examinations, the truth was finally revealed.
Hannah was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. Her heart could no longer pump b.l σod effectively.
The heart chambers were enlarged, causing circulatory failure and massive fluid buildup.
Tests for heartworm were negative. No worms were found in her heart.
Her b.l σod tests showed no alarming abnormalities.
At last, there was an answer.
Hannah was prescribed lifelong medication and a special therapeutic diet. She remained under medical supervision as treatment began.
The fluid was drained repeatedly. Diuretics, medication, and proper nutrition gradually eased the burden on her body.
Hannah began to breathe more easily. She started walking with less effort.
Her strength slowly returned.
With daily care, medical support, and love she had never known before, Hannah is growing stronger.
Her journey is not over yet. But today, she is alive.
And most importantly — she is no longer alone.
