The Story Behind the Purple Fur: The Rescue and Recovery of a Brave Puppy

by Theresa.J

Violet, a small puppy with striking purple fur, came into the care of Dr. Karri, an experienced veterinarian at the “Vet Ranch” animal clinic.

Her appearance was alarming; she had multiple bite wounds, and her owner brought her in for euthanasia, claiming that a giant dog had mauled her.

In some cases, purple fur can be a sign of bait dogs, which are used to train combat dogs. However, Violet’s owner explained that the color was from a purple wound spray applied after the attack.

The unfortunate reality was that her wounds were neglected, causing them to rot for weeks, leading her closer to death.

In a video documenting Violet’s journey, Dr. Karri takes viewers through the intense medical treatment required to save Violet’s life.

The process was grueling, involving strong pain relievers and antibiotics to combat infections and abscesses. After 12 days of intense care, Violet finally moved past the septic stage.

The transformation in Violet’s demeanor from sad to joyful is heartwarming. Her tail wagged, and she could barely contain her excitement when she was in Dr. Karri’s arms, which was a stark contrast to the limp puppy she once was.

Following her recovery, Violet was adopted by her new family, who welcomed her into a loving home with open arms.

Her new mother, Kelly, and her Jack Russell sister, Peanut, now share their lives with Violet. The journey from despair to happiness was made possible by the dedication of Dr. Karri and the entire Vet Ranch team.
