Puppy’s life-saving pyjamas
Five month old crossbreed Mr Bojangles was due to be put down after being found with a horrendously painful skin condition.
Fortunately, however, Impawtant Pups Rescue charity from Burton in Staffordshire rescued Mr Bojangles from the dog pound he was in and gave him ‘doggy pyjamas’ to stop him scratching and biting his skin from the condition.
Mr Bojangles turned out to have demodex mange, which is a contagious skin disease caused by mites which had not been treated. This lead to ‘Bo’ biting and scratching his skin to pieces to stop the itching, leaving open sores and wounds that would never heal due to the scratching.
After his pyjamas had been fashioned, Mr Bojangles is doing very well; his is skin healing and he is on the mend. The charity are currently looking for funding to continue his treatment, but hopefully in the future Bo will find a new loving home.
