An Unexpected Surprise: Kong Joins The Haven

Today was filled with unexpected surprises.

I saw a post of a friend last evening looking for a fospice home. She got details and learned that the local humane society had a senior boy with a large tumor that the vet who examined deemed inoperable. But we knew we couldn’t let him stay in a shelter in a kennel for the rest of his days.

So, she went to meet him this morning and do an assessment and after one look, knew we could not leave him there.

We welcome Kong to the Haven. He’s a ten year old pittie, with a tumor that will be assessed by a separate vet early next week. He also presents with some pretty evident arthritis, some urine burns on his tumor (it swings when he uses the bathroom), some rough, raw skin, some worn down teeth, and some cloudiness in his eyes. He has been started on some probiotics, skin supplements, joint supplements, is on Gabapentin and we also started Rimadyl.. If removal is an option, we will proceed. If it is not, he will know he is loved before he is ready to leave this world for the next. 

He was an unexpected addition so will need a few things to get him settled:

Some XXL belly bands (these help hold the tumor up so it isn’t hanging or pulling on his skin).

Purina Fortiflora packets 

Douxo Pyo3 shampoo

Purina pro plan sensitive skin & Stomach food

Some tough chewer toys

… a new XL Kong

Greenies pill pockets—no chicken flavored

And any monetary support you are able to help with to cover his diagnostics and surgery if we can proceed.
