Harvey update! 💜
Our little guy is doing wonderful! His shoulder, where he was stitched up, is healing nicely, and the swelling in his face continues to go down at a good rate.
Right now, we are in a waiting period to see how his face continues healing on its own. When we inquired about surgery for his facial fracture, we were told he would need a CT scan and referral to a specialist in order to repair it. However, since Harvey is still so young and currently having no issues chewing or eating, we are hopeful that his little puppy body may continue healing well on its own.
His eye is also becoming much easier to see, and so far it appears normal! We are all very hopeful for a positive outcome there. Of course, if once the swelling fully resolves the eye is not in as good of shape as it currently seems, we may still need to have it removed, but for now, we are staying optimistic.
Outside of all the medical updates, Harvey is exactly what a puppy should be.. he is happy, playful, and full of life. He absolutely LOVES squeaky stuffed toys and spends his days playing and having fun. He has also discovered that chasing cats is apparently a very entertaining hobby, so he may not be the best fit for a home with kitties. However, he is fantastic with other dogs!
We are so grateful to everyone continuing to support, donate, share his story, and cheer him on through recovery. Harvey has already overcome so much, and we cannot wait to continue watching him heal and thrive!
