Zorro the dog has a long road to recovery ahead for him.
He was found Monday in a ditch by the Bixby Police Department. Police took him to Horizon Animal Hospital, where veterinarians thought he had mange.
After looking closer, they realized Zorro had chemical burns. Animal Control officers took swabs to confirm what caused the burns, but veterinarians believe the burns came from meth.
BIXBY, Okla. — Warning: Images are graphic, viewer discretion advised.
Veterinarians believe he was living with people who made meth and suffered chemical burns in a meth lab.
In addition to plasma transfusions and other treatments, the veterinarians are trying to treat Zorro's apparent withdrawal symptoms.
Hospital staff are struggling to regulate Zorro's temperature, which is running dangerously low. According to the hospital's Facebook page, Zorro is fighting for his life and is being monitored closely. The hospital has set up a fundraising page to help pay for Zorro's care.
