Labus was taken in our care to investigate the ‘wound that keeps appearing every year’ his owner told us of.
After shaving and cleaning the wound, it seems to be an old bite wound that formed two conected holes ( the saline that went in one hole, got out the other) that keeps getting infected. As a result of the ultrasounds and xrays, Labus also has a metal plate in his leg from an old surgery that didn’t heal properly because the of the reaction of the bone to the metal. New bone deposition appeared and possibly, osteomyelitis.
We can only imagine wht kind of pain he’s been through these 2-3 years with the infection and no medical attention.
Besides all this, poor Labus was also cronically constipated because he was fed bones.
Therefore, the ultrasound showed 2 huge fecal impactions that blocked his intestine which requiered several enemas to break and eliminate.
Despite all the pain and discomfort of the enemas, Labus is still a calm and gentle dog who suffered in silence.
He is now receiving antibiotics to cure his leg infection and we will know what needs to be done next, maybe a surgery, tomorrow when we visit the vet again.
Labus is in desperate need of fostercare throughout his treatment so, if you can help, please contact us: asociatia.robi@gmail.com.
He also needs financial support and you can help by donating here:
