So we went to PetPT today and saw Dr. Howe-Smith. He manipulated Bubba's leg and it turns out it is his elbow that is hurt. Doc thinks it's possible that it was broken at one time and healed improperly. There is nothing he would recommend surgically to correct it but he will benefit from hydrotherapy. So we will probably start that this week. It looks like we may do twice a week initially...He did great at Petsmart today and pretty much sold himself to a few different families....let's just keep our paws crossed that he keeps that up and gets a new forever home soon!!!
Not that I am pushing him out the door. Other than liking to sit ON ME in the car, he is a phenomenal dog. Good in every single way. He is housebroken and crate trained, good with dogs, good with cats, good with men & women, good with kids, has no problem being pet while eating or having anything taken away from him, he lets Savannah drink out of the water bowl with him and loves to JUST CHILL out and sleep at your feet.
The "supergirls" of All They Need Is Love Animal Rescue bought me a harness with the ability to click in to a seat belt today so that worked wonders for the rest of the day. We also changed his food to Blue Buffalo grain free. Not only is it a VERY good quality food, but could help speed up the mange recovery. He has a very slight case of demodex mange which he is already on medication for and being treated. It is not contagious to people or other animals. I will start bathing him soon with medicated shampoo as well. He really is an all around perfect dog.
If any one is interested in learning more or filling out an application to meet Bubba please email Emily or Cari at the rescue.
