ELMOβS SURGERY UPDATE
After managing infection in his damaged leg, he had an amputation which was initially successful. Elmo had an appetite but insisted on shredded cheese on his kibble and took his pills only in pill pockets. The foster noted bloody drainage from his incision so multiple vet trips to address pressure wraps and elevated wound care. Elmo hates wearing a wrap (diaper) and cone - heβs uncomfortable and only interested in eating a specific canned food (Wellness Chicken & Sweet Potato pate) *see comments for Amazon Wishlist
He was 71 lbs before surgery and now 70 lbs minus a leg - so there is progress in muscle tone and weight gain. *see comments for ways to donate for medical.
