Meet Pippin
Pippin came from the pound absolutely terrified, and they were not even able to get a muzzle on him to microchip him. His coat was very matted and he developed Kennel Cough within 24 hours of leaving which required antibiotics and cough medicine. To enable him to be clipped and microchipped he needed two doses of sedation and muzzling. Since then he developed a stomach problem, thought to be gastritis which required multiple courses of antibiotics and antacids plus a special diet. He later developed a painful hot spot which required more antibiotics and treatment. Poor Pippin has come a long way since leaving the pound and he is now able to eat normally. We are hoping the worst is over for Pippin and the future will look bright and healthy for him.
Pippin's additional vet costs have so far come to $550. Thanks to Vanessa, Linda, Barbara, Kim, Walid, Muditha, Julie and Dietmar for sponsoring Pippin. His vet fees have now been fully covered
Pippin was adopted on 08 May 2013 after 7 months in foster care
