PHOENIX

Phoenix came into our care aged 5 months along with her two brothers, Mitch and Frankie because their "breeder" could not sell them.  They were to be handed in to the Pound, when a local rescue stepped in and took them, they then made their way to us.

A couple of days after she arrived, Phoenix was taken to the vets, seriously ill.  The vets thought she had an obstruction in her stomach, and wandered if that was the reason she had not thrived, and was almost half the size of her brothers.

After being kept in the vet for 2 days, Phoenix had her operation, and the vets removed a very large piece of blue tarpaulin from her stomach, and very fortunately it had not gone down into her intestines, but it had been there for quite some time!!.  Phoenix got out of the vet, and into a foster home the next day, and there was an immediate improvement in her brightness and appetite.  Over the next 2 weeks Phoenix put on 2.5 kgs in weight, and things seemed to be going well...

Then in April, Phoenix needed to undergo surgery to remove some of her teeth.  Because her growth had been so severely stunted by having that obstruction, her jaw was too small to accommodate all of her adult teeth.

Phoenix recovered well from that operation, and is continuing to make good progress with her training and social skills in her foster home, but still needs a bit of work yet.
