“Elka began to heal, assisted by necessary medications and the animal care team bathed her infected wounds. “Thankfully, the operation to save her eye was a success but the severe damage and subsequent scarring has meant that she has limited vision in her one remaining eye.” She was almost completely blind for this six week period but robust little Holly, the star that she is, handled this brilliantly.” “This procedure would then need to be reversed before we would know if it were a success and if Holly could see. This then required a six week period of care whereby her eye received drops four times a day in order to support recovery.” Over the following weeks the team continued to care for the duo and within weeks they saw Holly and Elka transformed and they got ready to find loving new homes where they could thrive and put the past behind them.Īndy added: “Holly’s eye sadly ruptured and she required urgent surgical intervention to save it. She also had areas of significant swelling.” “Elka’s poor body was covered in scars with wounds that were of varying age, some healing and others fresh and infected. Her remaining eye was severely ulcerated and a serious risk of rupture.” “Holly was missing one eye which had been surgically removed previously. It’s essential that they get swift and appropriate treatment and care at the moment they need it most, and Holly and Elka were certainly in desperate need when they first arrived at RSPCA Brent Knoll.” He said: “The first few days are always the hardest with any animal who has been rescued. He has described highs, lows, heartbreak and celebrations that come with caring for animals who arrive in the greatest need like Holly and Elka. He was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work, and must pay £1,300 costs and a £128 victim surcharge.Īndy Cook, behaviour and welfare advisor at RSPCA Brent Knoll, is one of the team who devote their lives to transforming animals who’ve been rescued from abuse and neglect. The pair had been saved by an RSPCA Inspector after they were found in poor health living in squalid conditions in sheds in the grounds of a hotel.Įarlier this month, their former owner was sentenced after admitting animal welfare offences, following a prosecution by the charity.Ī 19 year-old man from Bristol was sentenced to 15 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months, and banned from keeping animals for ten years, when he appeared before Bristol Magistrates Court on October 14th.

Holly, a French bulldog, and Elka, a German wirehaired pointer, arrived at RSPCA North Somerset branch’s Brent Knoll Animal Centre in June where their journey of recovery in the care of the rescue centre team first began. Two dogs who were rescued from neglect have been transformed and found happy new homes after extensive care and treatment at Brent Knoll’s RSPCA rescue centre.
