Shelter

Mabel was dumped at Metro Animal Care and Control in Nashville. It was clear that she had previously been used as a breeding dog, and she was abandoned when she was no longer useful. She limped on her hind legs and appeared to be in pain as she applied gentle pressure when walking on them. Mabel was reserved, but proved she had a lot of love to give despite her past. Luckily, Wags and Walks was smitten with her pouty face, and they took her into their care to figure out what was causing her mobility issues.

Vet Visit

Mabel was seen by four different veterinarians, each of which had a different opinion about her hind leg issues. She eventually had a visit with an orthopedic specialist, who confirmed her canine cruciate ligaments (CCL) were torn in both of her hind legs, and they cannot heal on their own. In addition to torn CCLs, she has a luxating patella in her left hind leg, meaning her kneecap dislocates.

She will need three procedures to repair each of her CCLs and the luxating patella. She will be able to have her CCL and luxating patella in her left hind leg repaired at the same time, but she will need 6-8 weeks of recovery before having surgery for her other leg. It will be a lengthy healing process, but vets are positive she will make a full recovery, if surgery is completed.

We will keep everyone pupdated on her surgery schedule and recovery.

Shelter

Angel’s rescue journey began at Bastrop Animal Control in Texas. A medical examination revealed a concerning heart murmur. Out of six, it was a grade five murmur, which put her at risk of heart failure. Due to her urgent health condition, she was approved to be pulled and relocated to Austin Humane for care.

Vet Visit

Further medical investigation discovered Angel’s heart murmur was a result of a congenital heart defect called Pulmonic Stenosis (PS). With PS, the pulmonic valve is narrowed, causing the right ventricle to over-compensate, and can result in excessive heart muscle thickening, immobilizing the pulmonic valve leaflets. All this to say that if left untreated, Angel’s heart would be at risk of failing.

Angel was setup with a consultation at CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets. She was seen by a veterinary cardiologist, who recommended that due to the severity of her case, she be transferred to Texas A&M Veterinary School Hospital for advanced care. It was there that she had an angiogram, a scan that shows blood flow, to evaluate her heart. Based off the scans, the veterinary team recommended she have a balloon valvuloplasty to correct her heart defect. During this procedure a balloon is inflated in the area of stenosis, widening the valve and improving blood flow.

Surgery

At the time of Angel’s surgery, her case turned out to be more complicated than expected. Before surgeons could continue with the balloon valvuloplasty, she had to have a stent placed in her heart to help keep the vessel open. The surgery was successful, and Angel spent the night in an oxygen chamber to allow her heart to rest.

Recovery and Foster

Post-surgery, Angel will require medication twice daily for the rest of her life. She has spent her recovery period in a wonderful foster home, who had the following to say about her:

“Angel is the perfect name for this sweet lady! She got along well with my dog, a male chihuahua of similar size. They greeted each other with instant tail wags. I think she does well having another dog around to follow.”

While her cardiac problems were the most pressing of her medical issues, vets also found Angel had corneal opacities in both eyes, making her eyes cloudy. She was prescribed specialized serum eye drops, and her eyes have noticeably improved!

The vets at Texas A&M recommended she be spayed one month after surgery because her heart could not handle pregnancy. She has a spay procedure scheduled for May 31, after which she will be available for adoption! We will of course keep everyone pupdated on her journey.

Shelter

Frisbee is one of the many adoptable dogs at Wags and Walks in Los Angeles. She arrived with her eight 4-week-old puppies. She’s proven to be very sweet toward people and other dogs, but can be protective depending on the situation. One day, she began to display signs of vomiting, diarrhea, shaking, and she became wobbly. She had been perfectly fine the day before, and there were no reports of injuries or ingestion, so her sudden illness was a mystery. It was clear that she was dehydrated, so she received fluids while the medical team worked to eliminate potential causes, including a drug test. A vet partner suggested getting her to a hospital for further testing.

Vet Visit

She continued to struggle to walk or stand, and a distemper test was recommended, for which we are still waiting for the results. Unfortunately, her motor abilities continued to decline over the weekend, and a neurological consultation was scheduled.

During her neurologist appointment, Frisbee was given steroids. She showed some improvement, and she was able to move with a harness. Luckily, she doesn’t appear to be in any pain, but we’re still waiting on the results of the bloodwork to determine the cause. An MRI and spinal tap will be necessary to determine the cause of her immobility.

Shelter

Dolly, a sweet senior lady, was seen being dumped at her local park. She ultimately ended up in a shelter before being rescued by Wags and Walks in Los Angeles. Although she only weighed 11.5 pounds, she had a 3-pound mass hanging off her stomach. It caused significant pain for Dolly, but she remained sweet and grateful for her rescue.

Vet Visit

Without knowing whether the mass was malignant or benign, vets decided it needed to be removed as quickly as possible. Just one day after being rescued by Wags and Walks, Dolly underwent surgery to have the mass removed. Not only is she free of all that extra tumor weight, but her teeth are shiny and healthy too. While she was there, she had a few teeth extracted due to some dental concerns.

After surgery, the mass was sent off for biopsy to ensure it wasn’t cancerous and at risk of returning. The results came back, and miraculously, the tumor was benign! Now she’s ready to find a forever home that will love her like she deserves.

Shelter

Billie is one of the many adoptable dogs at Wags and Walks. She’s a high-energy pup, very affectionate, and loves cuddling. Due to her active nature, she was placed in a foster home, where she could enjoy long walks and plenty of exercise. She began experiencing breathing and GI issues, so she was taken to an urgent care to figure out what was going on.

Vet Visit

While at urgent care, x-rays revealed Billie’s lungs were full of air. A chest tube was used to empty her lungs, and she had bloodwork done. Over the next few days, her lungs continuously filled with air after having them emptied. It was clear something else was going on, so Billie was scheduled for a CT scan.

The results of the CT scan showed she has a bulla, a blister-like air pocket. As bullae grow, it takes up space in the chest cavity and can crowd the lungs. If too much pressure occurs on the lungs, it can result in dangerous disruption of the lung functions.

The bulla is causing pneumothorax, or a collection of air outside the lungs and within the chest walls. The vets have determined her best chance at recovery is to have a lung lobectomy surgery performed and removing the at-risk lung lobe.

In addition to her lung problems, Billie developed some back pains limiting her mobility. The radiologist suspects the fragments detected on her right thoracic limb radiographs are osteochondromas, a relatively uncommon benign bone tumor. There’s also evidence of osteoarthritis in that elbow. Her doctor will soon determine options for managing that in the future.

Shelter

Ham arrived at Chicago Animal Care and Control as a sick stray. He was vomiting, lethargic, and ultimately tested positive for parvovirus. Unfortunately, due to cost and care for parvo puppies, they are euthanized if not pulled from the shelter by end of day. Luckily, our rescue partner One Tail at a Time jumped into action with 20 minutes left in the day to rescue Ham and get him the lifesaving care he needed. They were successful, and Ham was rescued from euthanasia.

Vet Visit

Ham was immediately hospitalized after rescue. He’s receiving I.V. fluids, a nasogastric feeding tube, and a variety of medications to help him battle the parvovirus that’s taken over his body and made him incredibly weak. Once he’s strong enough, he’ll go to a medical foster home until he’s healthy enough to be adopted. We’ll keep everyone pupdated.

Shelter

Chicago Animal Care and Control found Shovel as a stray. They immediately recognized there was something wrong with both of her hind legs, and wanted to get her rescued as quickly as possible to address her injuries. Our rescue partner, One Tail at a Time, was able to step in and pull her from the shelter. Despite the discomfort she must have been in, Shovel displayed her friendly, wiggly puppy personality to everyone she met.

Vet Visit

A medical evaluation confirmed both of Shovel’s hind legs were broken, and an appointment at a Veterinary Specialty Center was setup. During her surgical consultation, vets discovered the fracture in one of her hind legs was in the process of healing on its own. With strict rest, it will fully heal. The fracture in her other hind leg is displaced, meaning the ends of the bone have come out of alignment, and will require surgery to repair.

After her surgery is complete, Shovel will go to a foster home to heal. She’s expected to make a full recovery, and we’ll be sure to keep everyone pupdated on her journey.

Shelter

For reasons unknown, sweet Peep the bulldog was dumped at a high-kill shelter. Luckily, our rescue partner Wags and Walks was able to pull her from the shelter and give her a second chance before it was too late. As a result of unethical breeding, she is genetically predisposed to health and breathing issues. The team at Wags and Walks fell in love with Peep, citing her love for attention, her stubborn personality, but assure us she’s an overall “A+ gal.”

Vet Visit

Peep was experiencing very labored breathing. What was originally thought to just be “normal” bulldog breathing issues turned out to be pneumonia, for which she was hospitalized in urgent care. She was given treatment during her stay, and she was showing signs of improvement, until her health took a turn and developed into bronchitis. Her medical issues have worsened and she now regurgitates everything she eats and drinks, resulting in returning aspiration pneumonia.

The severity of her condition led to Peep being placed on oxygen support as she is unable to breathe on her own. Once she has recovered from her cyclical pneumonia, she will need airway surgery to help her breathe better, and give her a chance at a full and healthy life.

Shelter

Curly Sue was found with her litter of siblings in a severe hoarding situation in Baja, California. Over 100 doodles were rescued from horrible conditions. Curly Sue’s litter was located in a room lit only by red lights and covered in sawdust and feces. There were also several other litters of puppies in the same room, so rescuers were on high alert for signs of parvovirus and other common issues in unvaccinated and neglected puppies.

Vet Visit

Every rescued doodle was evaluated once they arrived at Animal Pad. While Curly Sue luckily did not have parvovirus, vets did detect a heart murmur. She had an appointment with a cardiologist who determined she has Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), an opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart. The opening naturally closes after birth but Curly Sue’s did not.

This condition can result in serious, life-threatening changes in the way the heart pumps blood through the heart and to the rest of the body. If surgery is not performed to correct this, Curly Sue will go into heart failure in as little as one year. Due to Curly Sue’s small size, a less invasive procedure is not an option, and she will need open heart surgery. Her prognosis with surgery is excellent, and the surgeons on her case are confident she will get through it.

Shelter

Fletch arrived at Chicago Animal Care and Control as a stray at just eight months old. He had a fever of over 105° and was lethargic. He was vomiting and refused to eat, which concerned the staff that he may have parvovrius, a fatal disease in puppies if not treated. Animal control tested him for parvovirus, and his results were positive. One Tail at a Time pulled him from animal control so they could get him the urgent care that he needed.

Vet Visit

While at One Tail at a Time, Fletch received urgent treatment to combat the effects of parvovirus. He was hospitalized with supportive care including I.V. fluids and antibiotics to fight his high fever. Despite how terrible he felt, Fletch remained a good-natured and friendly boy.

During his hospitalization, Fletch received the best news. Turns out he had been lost from his home, and his family had been searching the local shelters and rescues for him. They found him at One Tail at a Time!

Home

Fletch, whose real name is Coyote, was reunited with his mom and was able to return home. He received the life-saving care he needed and is on the mend, but will need to remain quarantined for 30 days while he’s still contagious. Once his quarantine is up, he will get vaccinated, chipped, and neutered. Please enjoy the happy reunion of Coyote and his mom below.
