This sweet, 10 week old boy was found alone in a northern community and our foster home could not imagine leaving him out there to face the weather that is coming into Saskatchewan. We knew that his leg was sore when we were contacted but we all hoped that it was due to the cold weather, his foster home quickly realized that this was more than sensitivity to the cold and brought him in to the team at Orchard Veterinary Care where initial exam and x-rays confirmed that he had an old break in his leg that was starting to heal all wrong and a possible pelvic fracture as well. On October 20th, Timothy will be back in clinic to have further x-rays completed under sedation to better determine the care that he requires. Meanwhile he’s on a pain management regime that is allowing him to feel and act as a puppy should. His foster home reports that he is the SWEETEST puppy and you should all be excited to meet him when he’s ready!

Update: Sedated x-rays were performed today and we were so relieved to learn that not only does Timothy not have a fractured pelvis, but that he has a really good range of motion while under sedation. That means we are going to send Timothy and his foster family to physical therapy at Bridge City Veterinary Rehabilitation to help him to relearn how to use his leg. He is likely to always have an odd angle on it, but he will be able to keep and use it.

Update: While Timothy still has a long road of growing and recovery and will need a special home who can help with this he is ready to find his own home. Are you looking for the most amazing and resilient puppy to add to your family?
