Tiny Peppa, Update! | The Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association (pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk)
This is Peppa. She is estimated to be around three years old and is absolutely tiny, weighing only 4.7kg. She came into PDWRA’s care recently as an emergency case, during a weekend.
Her eyeball was blood red and bulging at twice its normal size. She must have been in so much pain!
Urgent surgery was required for the proptosed eye, and this was carried out as soon as it could be, on the Monday.
Both her hind legs have deformities and it is most likely from her behaviours and development that she had been crated for long periods. Surgery is also likely to be needed for her legs.
She is entire and will be spayed in a month’s time when she has recovered from her eye surgery.
Peppa is a brave and sweet little girl who didn’t deserve this start in life, but she is far more comfortable now and will receive the best possible care onwards.
We’ll keep you posted on how she gets on.

You’ll recall the most wonderful little boy Quinn, who’s rescue and rehabilitation we reported on last year. His progress took a worrying dip during the past few months when he suffered from vomiting and diarrhoea resulting in significant weight-loss.
Quinn’s vet has been investigating to find out the root of his problem, while his diet has been adjusted for him to receive and process the essential nutrients he needs.
Quinn has been on special hydrolysed food, given in small quantities by hand, 4 times per day, with his head held up, to ease his digestion. He then has crate rest for one hour.
Additional vitamin supplements, pre and pro biotics, plus other medications are given to him to aid his gut health and digestion and he isn’t allowed any other food or treats to avoid any flare ups.
Thankfully he has improved immensely since. His ability to process protein was found to be the problem, possibly due to his developing years and diet he was surviving on, so this will continue to be managed carefully.
We are all relieved, following a very worrying time. The mighty Quinn has found his bark again and here he is being the young and happy boy he deserves to be!
We cannot thank his devoted PDWRA Mum Kellie, enough, for the love and care she has given to Quinn, enabling him to live the best life possible after his very deprived beginnings.
See the start of Quinn’s rescue story with us from last year:
