Visit with Wilson

I was able to visit with Wilson this past weekend and he is doing so much better. We still have to keep him at the vets because one area of his leg wound has not healed properly and is taking time to close up. He is just the best boy, so sweet and loves everyone who comes in to visit him. He's great when I brought my own dog up to visit with him. He will need a foster home as soon as the doctor is ready to release him. Wilson appears to be housebroken, and has very good manners.

Rogan update

Rogan has been responding well to his foot wraps. Almost all of the skin has grown back except for a very small area about the size of a dime. We expect that last remaining open area to heal up in no time. Rogan's foot will always look a little different than the other ones because of all it's been through, but he is able to use it without difficulty. Because Rogan lifts his leg a little higher than normal when he walks, we are currently checking the rest of his leg and hip to make sure there are no other issues that need to be corrected. Currently, Rogan is living in a wonderful foster home where he is doing very well with the resident dogs and cat. As soon as we make sure everything is ok with his leg, Rogan will be actively pursuing a home to call his own.

Wilson much better

I went to visit Wilson this morning and, even though these photos don't show it, he is doing much better. The doctor sedated him yesterday and cleaned up the wound again, then they put in a drain and are now leaving the bandage off. He will have an E-Collar on all the time and we are only removing it when we spend time with him. Even during that time, we have to make sure he does not lick it or chew at the wound. It needs time to heal. I would say he will need at least another week in the vets to heal and then, hopefully, he can be moved to a foster home to continue healing. Thank you for caring.
