On the chilly morning of January 15, 2023, a tiny, defenseless puppy found himself abandoned at the doorstep of our Animal shelter. His distended belly resembled that of a toad, an alarming sight that prompted us to take immediate action.

Our dedicated veterinarians promptly examined the puppy and diagnosed him with ascites, a condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Ascites can have various underlying causes, and we knew that conducting blood tests was crucial to pinpoint the root of the puppy’s condition.

“We were well aware that the fluid buildup in his abdomen could lead to severe complications, and we were deeply concerned about his chances of survivaI.”

With an unwavering commitment and round-the-clock care from our compassionate team, the puppy’s condition gradually started to improve. Over time, his bloated belly began to recede, and most of the accumulated fluid was successfully drained from his abdomen.

As he regained his strength, the puppy’s zest for life began to resurface, and we were overjoyed to witness him taking a keen interest in the world around him.

Despite the hurdles he faced, this little pup never lost his playful and endearing spirit. He relished snuggling with our team members and exhibited an unending enthusiasm for playtime with his toys.

As the days turned into weeks, our furry friend’s progress continued to soar. We collaborated closely with our fellow caretaker, Pierre, to monitor his recovery and provide the necessary care for his full rehabilitation.
