LOOSING HIS LEG SAVED HIS
LIFE!
BOXER RESCUE GOT A CALL FROM AN OWNER (SHELTER REFERRAL)
THAT HE HAD AN INJURED DOG AND COULDN'T AFFORD THE VET BILL
AND NO LONGER WANTED THE DOG SINCE HE ALREADY HAD A BOXER
HOME AND THIS ONE WAS GIVEN TO HIM .....
LITTLE MAX WAS A SHY LITTLE
GENT, ABOUT 10 MONTHS AND KEPT OUTSIDE ...ON A MONDAY MORNING
HE FOUND MAX INJURED IN HIS YARD... "A VERY BADLY TWISTED
AND MANGLED FOOT" ....
WE TOLD HIM TO DROP MAX OFF AT OUR VET . ...THEY COULD NOT
BELIEVE THE SEVERITY OF THE INJURY
...(MAYBE HIT BY CAR .... MAYBE CAUGHT BY FENCING .... WHO
WILL EVER KNOW!)? HE SPEND DAYS BEING HOSPITALIZED TRYING
TO SAVE HIS FOOT .... TO NO AVAIL AND IT WAS SADLY SUGGESTED
TO AMPUTATE THE LEG. WHILE UNDER SURGERY HE WAS NEUTERED
AND AT THE SAME TIME DISCOVERED THAT THE INTESTINAL TRACT
HAD WRAPPED AROUND AN UNDESCENDED TESTICLE!
HAD WE WAITED ANOTHER WEEK
MAX WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ACCORDING TO DR. CRAIG WHO PERFORMED
THE SURGERY. WHAT A MIRACLE THAT HE DID COME TO US WHEN
HE DID! AND WHAT A BLESSING THAT WE COULD SAVE HIS LIFE
WHILE HAVING TO SACRIFICE HIS LEG!
HE IS STILL A BIT SHY AND IS MAKING HIS HOME WITH FEONA
AND MARDI (LONG TIME DEDICATED BOXER RESCUE VOLUNTEERS AND
OWNERS OF AN ADOPTED RESCUE BOXER) WHO STARTED OUT FOSTERING
AND HE BECAME SO MUCH PART OF THEIR LIVES THAT THEY COULDN'T
PART FROM HIM ....
WHAT A LUCKY GENTLE GUY...
