This big handsome bear has made his way into our care after being found as a stray.   Unfortunately, health wise Yogi is not in the best of shapes, he is suffering from huge pressure sores at the moment, he has slight entropian in one of his eyes, and a retained testicle.  On top of all this, he has quite bad hips and very little muscle on his hind legs..... the majority of this is all down to sheer bad breeding!!!      However, what he lacks in the health department he sure makes up for in temperament and  character, which is why F.R.R. are committed to doing all  we can to help make things better for this handsome boy.   For the present, we are going to leave everything else pretty much alone and start doing some work on him first to try and get some muscle tone built back up on his hips, he is going to be on a regular, little and often exercise regime  to start with, which we are going to be building up  gradually.  We will then be reporting back to our vet after 2 weeks to see what his next steps are.   We will keep you updated on Yogi's progress.   As Yogi is going to be with us for some time, and obviously needs some costly veterinary treatment,  we would be extremely grateful for any donations, no matter how small, towards his care. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yogi has had his follow up trip to the Vet who is very pleased with the progress he is making, it has been    a bit of a roller coaster for the team though as we also found a suspicious lump on Yogi so whilst we   were ecstatic at seeing his mobility improve it was overshadowed by our worry about this lump,   however, we are pleased to say that the vet is quite certain that its just a fatty lump and unless it    grows dramatically in the next few weeks he is going to leave it alone. Although Yogi is improving he is never going to be completely fit and well so we are now going to   seek a long term foster home for him and keep him under our care. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yogi is now settled in very well with one of our experienced fosterers, he has claimed the couch, found   a football to play with, and we have heard that he even gets a regular treat from the ice cream van :)   THANK YOU                                                                                                                                                                                                       Rott Humour...   (PLEASE CLICK   HERE  FOR MORE PICTURES)   The (real) rottie is Darcy.
