Not a galgo, but still a sighthound

Byron adoptThis is Lord Byron, he is in Tarragona, Spain. He was found tied to the door of a house, where the owner has an Afghan.

He was covered from head to toe in fleas and ticks, and very weak.

His coat was knotted like dreadlocks right to the skin, so his skin could not breath, so he had to be clipped.

He has dermatitis, woulds and lumps all over him, possibly because he got caught under a wire fence, which cut his skin and became infected.

He has faringitis, an ear infection, and the pads of his feet are soft, as though he has been enclosed somewhere, and unable to walk on them.

He cannot bear his feet to be touched at the moment.

Byron adoptHe is on treatment for the infections, and having tests for leishmania, filaria, and ehrlichia. He needs chipping and castrating.

The people who are looking after him are not in a position to pay for all his care, they already have 8 dogs in their home.
