The atmosphere at the pet hospital was somber yet determined as dogs from the rescue camp arrived for IV treatments. The camp staff carefully carried them inside, their urgency matching the severity of the dogs’ conditions. Among them, a panting and coughing dog showed clear signs of canine distemper, a grim reminder of the challenges ahead.

One familiar dog navigated the hospital corridors confidently, a testament to its multiple visits for treatment. The ward filled quickly with dogs, each awaiting their turn for medical attention. A lethargic golden retriever received immediate care, highlighting the urgency of their rehabilitation.

Prepared medicines and disposable needles awaited the dogs, as veterinarians adjusted IV fluid rates for optimal treatment. Remarkably, the dogs remained well-behaved, a stark contrast to their usual playful demeanor, demonstrating resilience in adversity.

The hospital had dedicated two wards for the rescue camp’s dogs, where Liu Li inquired about their illnesses. Quarantined dogs, rescued from dire conditions, had shown symptoms of distemper during their isolation period. Despite their critical condition, Liu Li and her team remained unwavering in their commitment to saving each dog.

Funded by generous donations, treatments included imported medications to combat severe infections. Camp workers, deeply invested in the dogs’ recovery, provided round-the-clock care, especially for the youngest ones who had narrowly escaped slaughter.

Despite their suffering, the dogs showed gratitude with every injection, seeking comfort from caregivers even in pain. Liu Li, visibly exhausted yet steadfast, exemplified dedication to their cause, echoing the sentiment that every dog deserved a chance to live.
