When Mojo, a long-haired Dachund, was surrendered to the Dachshunds of South Florida, he was in bad shape. The eight-year-old sweetheart was facing a certain death due to a life-threatening health issue. His owners couldn’t afford the life-saving surgery, so they gave him up. As soon as he arrived, the president of the shelter knew he needed help.
However, no one knew his condition’s seriousness until he was examined at the LeadER Animal Specialty Hospital. It turned out that Mojo had a severe hernia in the hole of his intestine that was large enough to cause an obstruction which prevented the Dachshund from being able to poo. If the blockage weren’t removed, the blog would clog up and become fatal.
Needless to say, Mojo was rushed into surgery. Mojo has a long road ahead of him, but with the right family, he will be a wonderful addition. Reach out to the Dachshunds of South Florida to learn more about this adorable wiener dog and his heartwarming story.
80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
