Yesterday, a couple of weeks-old puppies were found outside a gym in Narrogin Creek, a suburb of Western Australia. A local citizen found the puppies in a box.
A spokesman for animal protection group RSPCA said nine black and brown puppies were found in the box, but one of them died on his way to a local veterinary clinic.
Dogs are only one to two weeks old and full-bodied, meaning they may have just been fed from their mother, and their umbilical cord is still attached to them when they are found.
RSCPA Chief Inspector Amanda Swift said he was very lucky for the surviving puppies, but we are still very worried about their mother's condition.
"We were lucky they didn't die. "so the little dog is very dependent on her mother, so we are very concerned about the situation of the mother dog, she may be in urgent need of care," she said.
Mother's small animals are being treated in Narrogin Veterinary Services and will then be taken to Perth for further treatment.
In Western Australia, dealing with unwanted newborn pets is a big problem, Ms. Amanda Swift said, making these animals extremely vulnerable. Could lead to their long-suffering death. If you find yourself adding a pet and you don't want it, do something responsible and seek advice from your veterinarian to ensure the health of your mother and child. "
She also appealed to anyone who found suspicious activity near Narrogin Creek yesterday morning to contact the RSPCA hotline at 1300 278 3589.
