Bobs the Pug – A Miracle Wrapped in Wrinkles
🐾❤️🩺
This is Bobs, a lovely little pug with a huge heart… and until recently, a huge problem.
Bobs came to us critically unwell—struggling to urinate, very uncomfortable, and dangerously close to collapsing. Her family had been worried for weeks. Despite having been seen before, her condition had been misdiagnosed.
What we found shocked us all…
A massive bladder stone, larger than a golf ball 🪨, lodged painfully inside her bladder, causing infection and inflammation. Her white blood cell count was off the charts. She was septic, dehydrated, and fading fast.
But this little girl had no intention of giving up.
She spent 3 days in hospital with us, under close monitoring, IV fluids, pain relief, and emergency surgery to remove the stone. The odds weren’t great—but Bobs is a fighter.
And now... just look at her!
Bright, cheeky, full of life—and back to her normal self.
💪🐶✨
We are delighted, her family is overjoyed, and the whole team at Happy Paws Vets is so proud to have been part of her story.
🙏 Thank you to every member of our incredible staff who worked tirelessly to keep her alive—your compassion and skill made all the difference.
This story is not about blame—veterinary medicine is complex. But it’s a reminder to every pet owner:
⚠️ If your pet seems off—don’t wait.
⚠️ Ask questions. Get a second opinion. Ask for scans, bloods, x-Ray.
⚠️ Bladder stones can be silent… until they’re not.
Please help us share Bobs’ story—you never know whose pet it might save.
Let’s hear it for this brave little survivor.
We love you, Bobs!
