Little Tooshie 🥰
Look how much our little man has grown.
Tooshie is thriving, full of cheekiness, and living his best puppy life.
But as he’s gotten older, he’s been struggling more with his p**ping 💩. He’s also starting to want “big boy food,” which makes things even trickier for him.
We’ve had so many kind people offering feeding tips, adding protein, fibre, and other things that would normally help a constipated dog. Unfortunately, Tooshie’s problem isn’t dietary, it’s mechanical. He was born without a functioning a**s, and the muscles in his perineal area sustained irreversible damage. This means food changes alone can’t fix the issue.
👉 His next surgery is booked for October 6th: a colopexy.
This surgery will help by keeping his colon into a better position, so his perineal area hopefully won’t “balloon out” and trap poo the way it does now. By keeping things more straightened and supported, it should make it much easier for him to go to the toilet.
Thank you all so much for the love, advice, and support you’ve shown Tooshie. He truly is a happy, playful boy he just needs this next step to help his body catch up with his spirit.
