MUFFIE HAS SURGERY

Muffie came into rescue last autumn.   She was a tiny 8 pounder and she was in rough shape. 

She needed a specialist to do her dental.  She had mammory tumors.   She desperately needed help.  

She had a double dental (couldn't be done in one session due to jaw issues), and she had two mammory surgeries.   But, we had special helpers with her bills and I'm so thankful-- you know who you are.   💘

Muffie was doing so much better.  But, we noticed she seemed to have trouble breathing well, so she was checked out again.   The vet felt she would benefit from stenotic nares surgery.  This is done when the nose openings are very small, and they open up the outer part of the nose to allow better air flow.  

A before picture from our vet shows how closed the nose was.   (If you see your Peke is having trouble breathing, have your vet evaluate to see if this surgery would help.)

Here she is after the surgery-- the nose openings are much better.  She was just finished with surgery, so the tube is still in.   

She is home now (this is an older picture) and is resting now.   She will feel so much better now.   Her foster mom adores this girl and is adopting her.    Get well quickly, Muffie!  You are just precious.  💜
