SAVING SNOOPY
Canine Zone|February March 2020
Our patients’ stories are truly brave and heroic
SAVING SNOOPY

A gorgeous little girl by the name of Snoopy was brought to us by her owners. She was suffering from paralysis, and after thorough examination she was diagnosed with severe hookworm infestation that had migrated to her spinal cord. Her long road to mobility and recovery thus began.

Snoopy’s treatment involved full-time nursing to turn her body every two hours after taking her out to relieve herself. We also provided physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and acupuncture for her muscle atrophy.

During this time, Snoopy’s communication through her beautiful eyes ensured that any message she wished to convey was completely understood. Giving up was definitely not part of her or our vocabulary. Our collective bonding with Snoopy was magnetic, and the proverbial village was at her beck and call.

After two months, Snoopy’s mobility care required a safe and wider environment outside of her hospital cage.

A FOSTER FAIL!
