"Steve" - Page 1

This is Steve before his operation, he was whelped 8-27-17, he was the biggest pup in a litter of nine,

until we introduced solid foods, then he started losing weight and regurgitating his food.

 

 

We found that he had PRAA

This is Steve after his operation on the ride home from the hospital!

And a video of Steve this morning 2 days after surgery!
His prognosis looks great!!!!

We are very excited to see Steve thriving and being a typical puppy!!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

You are a truly fine human being for taking care of the pup that you brought into this world. I hope Steve continues to do great.

Reading your post was like finding a diamond in a muck pile. There are PDB folks who would have just drowned him in a bucket--and then bragged about it and told others to do the same with pups that aren't "perfect." For those folks--karma may just bite back someday.

Ryanhaus, may God bless you and your family including your dogs. I hope you have the best Thanksgiving ever.

Thank you so much for your kind words JonRob! 

Our vet did suggest putting him down, but my husband

and I looked at the little guy with his non stop wagging tail

and decided that wasn't an option. 

He's thriving after having his operation, it's such a good feeling

to see him enjoying his meals once again.

Wishing you and your family a great Thanksgiving too!

 

Awwwwwwwww... what a cutie :-)

Glad to see he's doing okay now; well done ! (And for posting the link - all in the interest of spreading info on our breed).

Thanks for the information, and hopefully it will save another pup's life. Glad the operation was successful and that your little Steve will enjoy a long and loved life.

Thank you GSCat, mrdarcy, Hundmutter, Koots and Nans gsd, not sure what BOL means though...

 

This is a picture of Steve without his shirt on, you can see where his incision is....
