Draco came into RAGOM through an owner surrender to a humane society because his owner couldn’t afford his care. While he was at the humane society, they updated him on his vaccines and did his neuter.

Unfortunately, though, he was found to have blood in his urine and was straining to urinate. RAGOM stepped up and took him into their fold, and we have been lucky to foster him while trying to figure out his medical needs.

Despite urinary issues, Draco has been a happy-go-lucky guy. He is four months old and going to be a big boy. He loves everybody and everything thing, going with the flow. 

After multiple trips to the specialist to rule out ectopic ureters, it was discovered that while Draco didn’t have any underlying malformations, he did have one nasty urinary tract infection. He went through several rounds of antibiotics to get things cleared up.

Then, just when we thought he could look for his forever family, Draco had a run-in with a stick. Unfortunately for him, he had to have surgery since he had a puncture wound and an avulsion the entire length of his upper gum line.

Poor boy was miserable. It took a few weeks in the cone and a soft diet to help it heal. The worst part, though, was no toys because that could cause his incision to open. Talk about torture for a puppy.
