Phoenix Update: Thursday 9-17. Phoenix is making amazing progress! He is off of the IV fluids, and has a very healthy appetite. We discovered an ear infection today, that must have been excruciating, but he was a perfect little patient, and seemed grateful when the vet cleaned and medicated his ears. Phoenix can push …himself up to a “sitting” position, and even though he resembles a new born foal when he moves, his determination is heart warming to watch. His tail never stops wagging, and he is a marathon kisser… making up for lost time for sure….especially when his food bowl arrives…the little guy eats like there is no tomorrow. We think that Phoenix is stable enough to move to a foster home. He will temporarily bunk with another special needs dog until he is back on his feet and ready for prime time. He is definitely not out of the woods, but his condition is not critical, and we think some 24/7 TLC is just what the Doctor ordered. Phoenix will be searching for a loving forever home when he gets a clean bill of health, so please consider him as a permanent family member. And thank you for all of your continued support. We are trying to chip away at his medical bills, so please keep sharing his story. We will be posting more pictures soon.
