Paws of Courage - Bear the Poodle's Healing Journey

Meet Bear 🐶, a 6-month-old Poodle mix who had a rough start after jumping off a table in early August. With a broken left forelimb (distal radius/ulna fracture, in fancy vet speak), Bear became our VIP (Very Important Puppy). He was treated with splinting and regular bandage changes while being closely monitored for pain.

By September, Bear was slowly regaining stability, but after a leap from the couch 🛋️, his owner feared re-injury. A follow-up at Second Chances Vet Care confirmed that his fracture was healing well, though his bone density needed monitoring.

Bear's amazing owner never gave up, even when the going got tough 💖. With some comfy bandages and pain relief, our fluffy friend kept wagging through it all!

Two weeks later, Bear's progress was encouraging. He was walking more, although his leg had slight muscle atrophy. Despite these hurdles, Bear showed no signs of pain, and with his owner's commitment to his care, he is well on his way to full recovery. 🐾

Bear's tail-wagging tale shows us that with love, proper treatment, and a dash of doggy determination, any ruff situation can turn around! 🐶🌈

Meet Sammy, our 14-year-old Warrior! 🐾💪

This brave girl has been battling multiple masses since August 2023, including a large one on her chest and a soft tissue sarcoma on her thigh. The chest mass began to grow significantly in mid-July 2024, impacting her mobility and quality of life. By August 2024, the chest mass had grown to 15 x 11 x 14 cm. Additionally, Sammy has been diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma (STS) on her thigh via cytology, along with several other subcutaneous masses suspected to be lipomas (not typically concerning/malignant). 😔

After a visit to the Veterinary Emergency Group for an open, draining chest mass, Sammy came to us at Second Chances Veterinary Care on September 4th for surgery. Our team successfully removed the troublesome mass. 🩺✨

Two weeks post-op, Sammy's energy was back to normal. She's pulling on leashes during walks and showing no signs of discomfort. This champ has no coughs, sneezes, or tummy troubles!

Her surgical site is healing beautifully, and her owner expressed delight at Sammy's recovery, noting that she had experienced a renewed lease on life and looked forward to monitoring her continued health. It's like she's gotten a second chance at puppyhood! 🐶💖

At Second Chances Veterinary Care, nothing brings us more joy than seeing our patients bounce back to health and happiness. It's why we do what we do! ❤️

Meet Junior, our 8-year-old American Pit Bull warrior! 🐾💪

Junior was diagnosed with a small intestinal foreign body, suspected to be a sock, at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital. He was transferred to Second Chances Veterinary Care for further treatment and surgery. 🧦 Our amazing team jumped into action, performing surgery to remove the pesky foreign object.

We're thrilled to report that Junior's surgery was a success! Despite a brief bout of tummy troubles, he was back to eating, drinking, and wagging his tail in no time. 🎉

Junior's owner shared: "Junior is an amazing part of our family, and I can't thank the team at Second Chances enough for taking all the proper care he needed to get better and on such short notice. You all are so wonderful. Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts."

Stories like Junior's remind us why we do what we do. Here's to many more happy, healthy years for this lovable pup!

Give this post a ❤️ if you think Junior deserves all the belly rubs for being such a brave boy!
