The distressing image of a lone, deserted puppy whimpering and incapable of standing brought forth an outpouring of emotions from onlookers who were moved to tears at the heart-wrenching sight.
Just an ordinary day at the veterinary food store turned into a rescue mission when a customer spotted a puppy crying outside. The poor thing couldn’t even stand or walk properly, and we had no clue what had caused its condition. Nonetheless, we knew we had to intervene and offer assistance.
As soon as we noticed the injured puppy, we rushed him indoors to assess his condition. He was visibly distressed and in agony, which made us anxious for his well-being. Despite our attempts to soothe him, it became apparent that he required more specialized care than we could provide. Consequently, we opted to transport him to the veterinarian for a comprehensive evaluation.
When we took Lucky to the vet, we found out that he didn’t have any broken bones, which was a big relief. However, the vet was concerned about a possible spinal cord injury that could affect his nerves. To ease Lucky’s pain and inflammation in the spinal cord, the vet provided some medication. Unfortunately, even with the medication, Lucky still cried and couldn’t stand up.
As we were worried about Lucky’s condition, we opted to bring him in for an X-ray. The vet discovered that he had no fractures, but his spinal cord injury was causing him significant discomfort. To ease the pain and inflammation in his spinal cord, the veterinarian prescribed medication.
Lucky quickly became a cherished member of our family. Despite his struggles, he showed tremendous resilience and progress with each passing day. He even made efforts to lift his head and eat independently, proving that he was a fighter with a hearty appetite and a cooperative spirit.
We were unsure of what caused Lucky’s injection site to become abscessed and septic. Sadly, he was still unable to walk, but he was progressing in other areas and was consuming his medication promptly. We had to clean the abscess frequently since it was continually leaking pus.
Over time, Lucky’s health improved significantly. He regained mobility in all of his legs and even had a refreshing bath. The abscess on his leg had dried up and seemed to be recovering well. It was a moment of immense happiness when we witnessed Lucky run again after his ordeal. We couldn’t help but feel grateful to be a part of his survival journey. And, as fate would have it, Lucky became a permanent member of our family when we decided to adopt him.
Lucky, our adorable dog, is now thriving and content in his forever home with us. Today, we took him for his vaccination, but unfortunately, he was extremely frightened of the needles and ended up urinating in his crate. Nevertheless, Lucky will always be our little wonder, and we are so grateful to have him in our lives despite his phobias. Please do share this heartwarming story with your loved ones.
