Animal Justice League

Radar was lucky to have ended up in the right hands. When his own owner ditched him at a shelter house, he was going to be rescued by a group of people who had met him for the first time. The volunteers at the Animal Justice League were well aware of the pooch’s story and they were all in to help the abandoned dog. The first thing they had to do was to get him checked by a vet to know more about his underlying medical condition.

Check-Up

The fellas who were appointed at the Animal Justice League realized the need of the moment and they immediately headed to the vet. They decided to get the pooch a full body check-up to determine his exact age and figure out the exact medical condition he was apparently suffering from. They were skeptical about the details the former owner of Radar had given them but the vet’s revelation blew up their mind. What could the vet have possibly said?

Not A 20-Year- Old

The dog was in a pretty bad condition when he was first brought to the vet for the examination. The volunteers who rescued the dog were worried sick as Radar kept on puking the whole time. Seeing him in such a state had already alleviated their worries and their worried minds had now started to assume the worse while they anxiously waited for the examination to be over. But when they heard it from the vet, they finally took a long breath of relief as the vet had a piece of shocking yet good news to break.

Long Nails

The vet also pointed out the super long and unclean nails that Radar have had for long. That shows how reckless his former owner was and how less he cared about Radar. But what was the good news? The good thing was that Radar was not 20-years-old. The vet drew the conclusion that the dog was about half the mentioned age and he had still plenty of years left to live. The volunteers present at the clinic were relieved to know that Radar’s days were not limited but there was still a major concern that needed to be addressed.

Diagnosis

Radar wasn’t that old but he was still sick. He would throw up too often and was unable to digest the simplest of the food. Due to malabsorption, the dog had become too weak. But what was the reason behind the constant struggle the little pooch had with his stomach? The vet came up with the test reports that would give a better explanation. The dog was diagnosed with a severe stomach virus and he needed immediate medical attention.

Physical Trauma

Radar needed proper care and handling if he were to make it back to his best version. The doctor had prescribed a couple of antibiotics to take care of the stomach virus. While that was not it, Radar’s bone had shrunk and he had been constantly losing muscle mass from his back legs which the vet stated to be the aftermath of the trauma. While the vet wasn’t certain about the reason for the dog’s physical trauma, he mentioned other factors such as age could also be held accountable. “We really don’t know his story, which always makes these cases so hard and sad.” Graves said.
