Burned puppies receiving first-class care
BY JASON KOTOWSKI Californian staff writer
As the owner of a dog rescue, Zach Skow has taken in animals that have been beaten, stabbed, shot and suffered a wide array of brutal injuries.
But he'd never seen anything as bad as the third-degree burns several California City puppies suffered in early February. Nothing else even comes close.
"The smells, the sheer sight, it was pretty intense," said Skow, the owner of Marley's Mutts in Tehachapi.
The two surviving puppies are being given a chance at recovery through the help of Dr. Richard Grossman, founder of the renowned Grossman Burn Centers. Grossman himself has been treating the puppies by cutting away dead tissue and performing temporary skin grafts with bovine fetal tissue meant to stimulate cell growth.
While Grossman said Wednesday he still wasn't sure if the puppies would survive, so far they've made an amazing recovery. They've even become a little playful.
