Meet Angus!
Angus, whose mom is an employee at our hospital,
was born on 11/3/12. He was found as a newborn in some bushes and brought in to
us as a stray. He was so young his umbilical cord was still pink and he was
trying to suckle everyone’s fingers! His temperature was very low at the time.
He was so small that he was mistaken for a guinea pig. Since he had no mother
to feed him, he had to be raised on goat’s milk.
Angus only had a few health concerns. Around the
age of 4 weeks, he began drinking his formula too fast and developed
regurgitation problems. Dr. Stanton took some x-rays and no signs of a health
condition were present. Angus was started on soaked kibble and soon the
regurgitation problem ceased entirely.
Angus’s
Growth
Angus grew very fast! He started out at one 384
grams when he first came to us on 11/3/12. He gained an average of 10 pounds
per month and now, at nine months, he is over 80 pounds! He’s a big, happy, and
healthy boy.
At home, Angus has two other dog siblings that he
gets along with really well. These are a Doberman/Terrier mix and a Dachshund
mix.
