We will need to do further diagnostic testing to make sure there is nothing structurally wrong with him, but so far we cannot see anything while he is running and playing. Oh yeah, stop and try to nibble on people and anything else he can get his little mouth on. The shelter contacted us and asked if we could take him, and who could resist that face? Wonton is a typical 10 week old puppy. Xrays were not taken of his front legs, but will be done with our vet next week. He had been adopted and returned the same day because the adopters thought there might be something wrong with him because when he was running and playing he would occasionally fall down! The shelter sent him out for xrays of his back legs and hips and they showed nothing wrong with him. He is coned because his neuter incision is not fully healed yet. Meet Wonton: We just picked up this precious little bundle of pure puppy energy from the shelter.

Hopefully we can bring him back to a healthy state to live his life out comfortably and with love and affection. If all looks good, he will be having a dental with obvious extractions and a neuter with biopsy. This boy is going to have some medical bills, starting with the basics like blood panel and fecal to see if his body condition is related to malnutrition, parasites or something else. So rescue family, we once again need some extra help. Of course, we don’t know the back story on him, but can only wonder. All we can do is shake our heads and wonder what the heck is wrong with people to allow their pet to get into this condition, then not even go looking for him. One of his ear flaps is lumpy with scar tissue from a hematoma. He has a heart murmur, almost all of his teeth are fractured, immature cataracts (but not blind), an ear infection, is emaciated, and possibly has testicular cancer (one side is bigger than the other side). We picked Nash up today and he is a sweet little guy and we are glad we are able to help him. We are absolutely full with medical dogs right now, but we couldn’t say no. He had been picked up as a stray and no one came for him. We got an email the other day from the OC shelter asking us to consider a nice 13 year old boy they had.
