Coal is the bravest boy ever! He came to us a month after his mom and litter mates came due to severe emaciation. The previous shelter thought that because him and his sister Sapphire were the smallest that they were getting pushed out of the way during meals. They would both eat so fast that they would not be able to keep their meals down. Finally it was time to send to Colorado and pray that we could get some weight on them. When they first arrived they were so skinny and only weighed 10-11lbs but will all interventions were still having issues keeping food down.
We decided to go to the specialist and have a barium swallow study done and that is where we learned that these sweet babies had PRAA: Persistent Right Aortic Arch which is where the value doesn't seal off before birth and instead causes a strictrue in their esophagus allowing very minimal to make it down to the stomach at a time. Their foster was pureeing all of their meals into liquid consistency and using raised feeder bowls. We were beyond lucky to get approved for Surgery at CSU and on March 13th their luck changed forever.
The surgery was successful and that followed with a month of very slow changes to their eating patterns and texture. Coal is now able to eat out of a bowl on the floor either with softened kibble or wet food and keep it down. He's had one heck of a time since birth but he continues to amaze us daily with his progress. Coal is amazing in his kennel at his foster home overnight and during nap times daily. He would do well with another fun playmate or a person/couple that would love to give him unconditional love. He truly deserves the best that this world has to offer.
