Poor little thing, what terrible injuries but how uplifting to see her going home with her lovely new mum. Good to see Dora on the mend.

2017-03-30 07:31 LindaT

That`s great to know Munchkin (Dora) has been rehomed, thank you for the update djs. I hope she will continue to recover from her ordeal. I haven`t watched the video, I have to say.

2017-03-29 19:23 djs

Video showing Munchkin (now Dora)can be seen at Catley Cross Vets FB page. Horrible injuries (be warned graphic images), but she is now much better and has been rehomed :-) https://www.facebook.com/CatleyCrossVeterinaryClinic/?fref=ts

2017-03-20 15:09 NickyB

munchkins is still at the vets.....

2017-03-20 11:28 Mozzasoft

Do we have an update on Munchkins recovery?

2017-03-17 18:29 LindaT

Sydneysmum ... see my post 9th March ... Lady Gaga has been ruled out, sadly.

2017-03-17 14:36 NickyB

simonh who did rspca report here 11/3 - could we have the latest on lovely munchkins?

2017-03-16 20:29 DogLostSandra Watt

Sydneysmum - I have added the link to Lady Gaga's page for owner to rule out (or otherwise). Thanks for spotting.

2017-03-16 19:51 Sydneysmum

Has Lady Gaga 107905 been ruled out??
The markings are very similar.

2017-03-16 09:57 mathers22

Is this little one on the mend please x

2017-03-13 13:46 Mozzasoft

Do we have an update pic of this little girl on the road to recovery?
Does anyone know if the RSPCA already have an owner lined up?

2017-03-11 21:37 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

OMG again, words fail me.

I hope whoever did this heartless act needs to be severely punished.

Sending you plenty of hugs little one xxxx

2017-03-11 21:35 susieq666

She looks an absolute darling. I'd have her like a shot, except my current bad-tempered JR might inflict more bites. I'm sure she'll find a loving home once she's well.

2017-03-11 20:38 DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh

Is it worth checking with the police in case there is a known dog ring in the area that is responsible for this poor little girl's injuries...just worth checking x

Update by RSPCA "Munchkin’s injuries so extreme she will need skin graft and ear partly removed
The RSPCA is appealing for information after an emaciated Jack Russell puppy with infected dog-bite wounds along her neck, body and head was found wandering Essex streets alone.
We were called on Saturday (March 4) after Munchkin, a female Jack Russell thought to be just under a year-old, was discovered on Tey Road in Colne, near Colchester.
She was in an extremely neglected state and the injuries were so severe she will need skin grafts and potentially the removal of part of her ear in order to recover.
She was rescued by the RSPCA and taken to Catley Cross Vets in Halstead, where she was placed on a drip and given intensive treatment for the wounds - including regular bathing for the wounds with Manuka honey. It is hoped she will make a full recovery and be available for rehoming after this.
RSPCA inspector Kate Fletcher said: “Poor little Munchkin was in a horrific state when we found her - it broke my heart.
“She was emaciated with signs of mange and riddled with fleas - and on top of this had these awful wounds all over her. There are signs of teeth marks so we are pretty sure they were caused by dog bites.
“They are so red raw and infected and she must have been in such pain for quite some time, as the vet thinks they had been there for at least a month given the state of her flesh.
“In some ways she was lucky - just a fraction deeper and the wound would have reached her spinal column which would have been been life threatening. As it is she is doing well and we hope she will make a good recovery after surgery - which will need to include skin grafts and the removal of her ear because the damage done is so extreme.
“We are incredibly grateful to Catley Cross vets in Halstead, who were so touched by Munchkin’s story they offered to do the surgery she needs for free. We are also very grateful to the Veterinary Wound Library for donating the bandages and medication she will need.
“It is always heartbreaking when we find sad cases like this, but wonderful when people’s responses are so generous.”
Inspector Fletcher added: “We do not know how Munchkin came to be all alone in this terrible state.
“She does not have a microchip and we don’t know whether she was abandoned or escaped from somewhere after being bitten by the dog.
“Whichever the case is, she had been suffering for quite some time. Her short little life has so far been one of a lot of pain, but she has been an absolute angel all the way through.
“She is still wagging her tail, winning over anyone who meets her.”
The RSPCA urges anyone with any information about where Munchkin may have come from to call us on 0300 123 8018, in the strictest confidence.
Anyone wanting to help the RSPCA rescue animals like Munchkin should text LOVE to 87023 to give £3 (Text costs £3 + one standard network rate message)."

Looks very similar to my dog who is missing, ID 111376
Does munchkin have a docked tail?

2017-03-10 21:27 ClaireC

Where she was picked up Tey Road CO6 is quite rural if my memory serves me right! So may have been dumped there.

2017-03-09 20:37 nedk

Have sent a small.donation to help munchkin she will.feel better every day x

2017-03-09 20:26 Unknown

NickyB Thanks for details of where to send a donation for her treatment. Will do asap

2017-03-09 19:16 JulieH

Heartbreaking, so pleased she now has a chance of happiness and good health xx

2017-03-09 19:13 LindaT

This little girl, the way she sits and her expression and similar markings, looks a bit like Lady Gaga lost in Dec 2016 in South East ID 107905,

What a little Cutie!.. Our 2x Jacks will love to introduce her to a loving home... Has anyway set up a "Just Giving" page to pay for these bills and make this little thing very happy!

2017-03-09 14:46 NickyB

using old fashioned technology i read here she is at catley cross veterinary surgery, halstead so phoned them.... so sending chq to RSPCA at the vets address Catley Cross Vets, Catley Stables, Halstead CO9 2PE. after treatment she will be cared for by RSPCA.
thanks to doglost.co.uk for letting us know about her plight. cant offer her a home but its nice to be able to send a donation as the RSPCA yet again try to find the monsters who did this, and also care for her and find a new home

2017-03-09 09:14 Lydia

So sad! Iam crying my eyes out for this poor poor furbaby, who could do this, hope you make a fully recovery what a sweet little dog

2017-03-09 06:19 LindaT

Poor sweet baby, however the dog-bite has happened it is clear she has been neglected, thank god she has been picked up by good people and I would imagine she will have a queue of people falling for her and wanting to adopt, she is in safe hands from now-on thankfully ... I do hope there may be cctv in the area she was found? or at least the authorities will do their utmost to find out who is responsible. As has been said below, it may be that an owner has been searching for some time, the microchip law may not have been in place when/if she went missing and so this could be why she hasn`t got one?

2017-03-08 23:56 Marbie

This poor little sweetheart has probably been stolen and used as a bait dog. Thank God she will be safe now, my heart goes out to her x

2017-03-08 21:22 Unknown

Tanks GillyP Of course it may have been caused by Badgers. Munchkins is probably wagging her tail knowing she is in safe hands
Will also be donating

Hi NickyB I'm sorry you can't open link, I'm not sure why that is sorry but I copied & pasted the article in the first comment. The number to call is above & is also mentioned in the article 0300 123 8018 & they have named her Munchkin x

2017-03-08 20:01 Hollieberry

Poor little thing also suffering from Mange & fleas as well as the dog bites, she has suffered in this state for several weeks .

2017-03-08 20:01 DogLostLisa P - Regional Co-ordinator, Central

Hi Christine, I'm glad you were able to get an answer, I hope that you get news about Phoebe soon x

2017-03-08 19:08 Sydneysmum

NickyB?? Me too. Poor baby girl needs all the help she can get
Did you find out where we can donate to cover her medical treatment?
Please advise me NickyB.
What I can't get my head round is the fact that this tiny little girl appears to have been 'wandering' for some time - and NOBODY saw her?? Not one person!!
Could this possibly be because she's been 'hidden' ??

2017-03-08 16:35 wensmum

She could have been stolen ages ago and got out and tried to get home..... Please don't put anyone off claiming her until you know what has happened - so many get stolen, or picked up and sold on

Hi Lisa, I have now called the RSPCA and even though they confirmed that it isn't my dog, I'm glad I just double checked as you advised. Thank you, Christine

2017-03-08 13:39 nedk

Even if.it could have been badgers why wasnt this dog treated was this dog reported missing or is it simply been abandoned. Either way it should be investigated before anyone claims its there hope it goes up for adoption plenty of people who would have it x

2017-03-08 12:48 Unknown

Could be badgers. Being a terrier could have had an altercation

2017-03-08 12:18 DogLostLisa P - Regional Co-ordinator, Central

Good luck x

2017-03-08 12:18 Christine

Hi Lisa, thank you for getting back to me and to confirm that I will call the number, I'll let you know the outcome, many thanks, Christine x

2017-03-08 12:17 DogLostLisa P - Regional Co-ordinator, Central

I have looked at Phoebe's page Christine & they do age this girl at under 1, but again, do call them to set your mind at rest x

2017-03-08 12:15 DogLostLisa P - Regional Co-ordinator, Central

Hi Christine, although they say she has no microchip, it is common for these to be missed or migrate, particularly in her condition so I would recommend calling the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018 who will be able to help you check for sure, good luck x

2017-03-08 12:01 Christine

It may be a far shot, but could someone double check this dog is microchipped, I lost my female JRT with very similar markings on 05.11.16 nr. Skipton and have not found her. Her Dog Lost ID 107187. Thank you, Christine

2017-03-08 11:29 wrongun1

Heartbreaking poor little pup! Iwonder if she was attacked by resident dog and so they dont have any trouble have dumped her?

2017-03-08 10:08 DogLostLisa P - Regional Co-ordinator, Central

Thanks Louise, 101609 is an elderly girl, I have however popped the link on 90417 for the owner to see x

2017-03-08 09:51 Unknown

That`s so kind of you Carol. At least safe, and will be "Sorted out" Hope owner is found, and named, and shamed Thanks RSPCA for taking care of her. Is it possible that this dog, and the other one Carol mentioned could have been used as Dog bait; hence the wounds?

2017-03-08 09:49 Jane

Carol that is so sweet of you - you sound like the perfect home. I would keep your finger upon the pulse with this one and not let her slip away to someone else, bless you x

2017-03-08 09:44 Louise625

Missing dog numbers 101609 and 90417 have similar facial markings

2017-03-08 09:41 Carol

Poor little girl I would give her a home I live a couple of miles from the area , there was a la terrier as well found in same area with a wound to his neck he was also wandering wondering if the 2 are connected , don't forget if she needs a home I am here xxx
