The heart and blood vessels are clogged with parasites: Doberman Trump, who was rescued from Alsheki, was diagnosed with a serious illness.
A Doberman taken from Elsheki, who was given the nickname Trump in Teigen Park, was found to be suffering from a serious illness. As the veterinarian Vasily Piskova, who conducted the examination, told KP-Crimea, tests showed that the dog has dirofilariasis - heartworms transmitted by infected mosquitoes that live in the animal's heart and blood vessels.
- This is a dangerous situation where even death is quite likely. Doberman, as we see, can't even walk normally, he suffocates, because the heart and large blood vessels are blocked with the helminths, which reach 10-15 cm in length and live between 5 and 7 years. Therefore, now we have started using therapy, he is receiving medication," Piskova said.
According to the zoo doctor, the treatment will be long and more details will follow.
