🐾 Christopher Update!
It’s been about a month, so we wanted to share how our little fighter is doing!
When Christopher first joined us in June, he needed emergency surgery for a liver shunt and a large bladder stone. In July, his follow-up bile acid test and x-rays showed everything moving in the right direction—such great news! 🙌
Over the past few weeks, Christopher has really started to live life like the happy puppy he deserves to be. He’s now on a prescription liver support diet (which he’ll likely need long term) and has gained some healthy weight—he’s a whopping 10.2 lbs now!
Of course, being a curious pug puppy, he managed to give us another scare by bumping those big eyes of his and developing an ulcer. Thankfully, with the help of amazing eye specialists and his dedicated foster family, his eye is healing beautifully.
Christopher’s medical journey is not over; he recently had a consult with a specialist and he will have BOAS surgery next week to help his breathing. He also had another bile acid test and x-rays to check his liver and make sure everything is still stable.
💙 He’s not even 9 months old, yet he has already endured more than many pugs in a lifetime. But thanks to your support, our volunteers/fosters, and our wonderful vet partners, Christopher is thriving and finally getting the fresh start he deserves.
🐶 Please keep this brave little guy in your thoughts as he continues his journey!
