My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Put me in coach,

. . . I'm ready to play, look at me, I can be center field!
Well if the ball is hit right to me, and the sun is not in my eyes, and I can figure out how this glove thingy goes on !!

What a journey for little Tony. Prior family loved him but could not care for his medical needs. The folks at Willamette Valley Animal Hospital partnered with Salem Dogs and started his journey back to health. Little guy needed work at both ends and the middle! He was neutered (ouch), had 8 teeth removed during his dental, and a large bladder stone removed (uber ouch!), Dr, Morris added some acupuncture in the event his back pain could be eased. He woke up to see the beautiful smiling faces of the WVAH techs. He was sent home to the SD ICU with antibiotics, pain meds, and special food to take it easy on his urinary tract. He is taking his meds just fine (in a meatball of the food). Guess he figures it's easier than have them stuffed down his throat. Tony is eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and resting. During his walks, he shows no sign of back pain or leg instability. Whoops, first bark just happened! Big bark for a little guy. This journey will end and a new one begins when he lands in the hearts and home of his new family.
