Polls (Bavaria) – Suddenly it was a matter of life and death for Laika (12) from Polling.
When the mixed breed dog suddenly collapsed in early December, the devastating diagnosis after the emergency operation was: a burst tumor in the spleen.
“The vet was able to completely remove the spleen and two tumors, but Laika had lost a lot of blood. We urgently needed an animal blood donor over 30 kilograms, ”says Laika’s mistress Gabi Eisbrenner to BILD.

In her distress, she sent a call for help via Whats-App.
The Pollingen entrepreneur Manfred Thaler didn’t hesitate for a minute when a friend told him about it. “I loaded my Mike into the car and drove with him to the veterinary center. He is ‘pumperlgsund’ and always very relaxed at the vet ”, says Manfred Thaler.
300 milliliters of blood were taken from the two-year-old Belgian Shepherd, which helped Laika get back on her feet.
“Our Laika is fit again. She already ran seven kilometers today, ”says Gabi Eisbrenner happily.
