Since the surgery, the dog has recovered and is lively, barking and wagging its tail for attention.
A four-month-old chihuahua puppy shot with an arrow nearly as long as its body is expected to survive after veterinarians removed the projectile from its neck. This happened today — and our team saved the dog's life. Thank you so much to @RSO for major assistance! Terrible act! @RivCoNow #Chihuahua#veterinarycare#animalcrueltypic.twitter.com/04R5CLgnkU
According to Riverside County Animal Services, the unnamed dog was found wounded earlier this week in South Carolina, US. A woman had called 911 early morning on Monday after she heard the puppy “screaming” in pain. The animal services said that the sheriff's deputy picked up the female dog and transferred it to an animal services officer who then brought the dog to the Coachella Valley Animal Campus.
The officer saw that the projectile punctured the tan chihuahua's neck, following which he held the dog in his arms outside the facility before the hospital opened in order to make sure that the pooch did not run away or hurt itself. The animal services informed that the arrow was caught in a fence and the pooch could not get free.
