Overview
- Dolly, a roughly 2-year-old pit bull mix, was brought to Angell on Jan. 10 after someone reported finding her outside in Lexington, Massachusetts.
- Veterinarians said she was extremely emaciated, too weak to stand, and had wounds on her feet and tail, with the lowest score on a veterinary body-condition scale.
- Shortly after arrival she suffered seizures believed linked to hypoglycemia, and a gastrointestinal bleed of unknown origin required a blood transfusion.
- Despite around-the-clock intensive care and a controlled refeeding plan, MSPCA-Angell confirmed she died after a sudden deterioration that led to euthanasia.
- MSPCA-Angell Law Enforcement continues a cruelty investigation and urges anyone with information about Dolly’s owner to submit tips, as the organization had also sought donations to cover medical costs exceeding $15,000.
