Lil tiny Tippy came into rescue a hot mess! She arrived coughing/sneezing, obese, burn marks all over her back, 2 bum knees, and turning purple! Her first day here landed her in TWO hospitals, getting an echocardiogram and subsequent oxygen chamber therapy. She had a severely collapsing trachea and when she gets excited or has a sneezing fit she turns purple again! We are putting Tippy in the oxygen chamber as needed, and she is needing it less and less! She is now going weeks at a time with no O2 therapy! She will be seeing Dr. Dave at Sano hospital for xrays on her knees and teeth, as he believes her teeth are causing the repetitive sneezing. Tippy’s burns all along her back are healing nicely and the hair is starting to grow back in. Tippy is a doll-baby! A lick-a-lotamus who loves her people, and loves to snuggle! The only thing she loves more than people is FOOD! She’s on a diet tho, so we have to be stingy with the treats. She came in weighing 5lbs, 3oz. She is down to 4lbs 12oz as of this writing and she could probably stand to lose another .5 to 1lb to get her in proper shape. We’re working on it!
*** PUPDATE*** Tippy had her dental surgery to remove her two upper Canine teeth on 4/19/22. She had bloodwork taken and we are currently waiting on results. She is healing up great so far!
