A recent post by popular social media veterinarian Dr. Ferds Recio has gone viral, detailing an incident involving a dog left at his clinic by a “well-known vlogger.”
According to Dr. Ferds, the dog was brought in for treatment of blood parasitism. Despite receiving the necessary care, the vlogger reportedly abandoned the pet and refused to pay the ₱15,000 confinement fee.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted individual stepped in to shoulder the responsibility and has since adopted the dog. The pet is now thriving in its new home.
Dr. Ferds refrained from naming the vlogger in his post, but that hasn’t stopped netizens from speculating. Several names have been floated online, with the story trending across social media platforms.
He wrote, “A well-known vlogger refused to pay the P15,000 confinement fees for treating this sweet dog’s blood parasitism and abandoned him completely. Fortunately, someone else stepped in and gave him a loving home, where he’s now thriving.”
The incident has sparked outrage, particularly among animal lovers. Many expressed their anger and disappointment at the alleged actions of the unnamed vlogger.
Some also called on Dr. Ferds to reveal the vlogger’s identity to stop the spread of false speculation and hold the individual accountable. However, the veterinarian has chosen to keep the name under wraps.
This incident has reignited discussions about responsible pet ownership. Experts emphasize that caring for animals includes taking full responsibility for their health and welfare, especially during emergencies.
