Geena was surrendered earlier this year. Due to family circumstances changing she wasn’t able to receive the care she needed, and although we weren’t made fully aware of her health conditions, it soon became apparent that Geena had very poor vision. We conducted a prompt, vet health check, and her limited vision was confirmed, though we believed she could see shadows. It was also found that she had a grade 5 heart murmur.
While she was being neutered soon afterwards, a few lumps were found on her abdomen, which were explored. It was clear that she had also had several litters, and that the lumps were hernias. These were repaired and so Geena’s rehabilitation started.
She started her heart medication for her murmur and made a quick recovery from surgery, then continued to blossom in foster. She took her time getting used to her new surroundings and her pug chums. Geena was initially too scared to go out for walks, but with reassurance and patience from her foster mum and companions she started to enjoy them, as she should.
Geena’s loving care and rehabilitation meant she was able to be moved to her forever home. Some minor adaptations were made to make things easier for her, plus she has a gentle, elderly frenchie-pug, Rocky as her companion.
Geena’s Mum says; “They are like an old married couple. Rocky has quickly learned to duck out of the way when she comes towards him, and I have learned never to leave a cup of tea unattended as she will drink the lot! I couldn’t have wished for a smoother transition for her. She’s settled in brilliantly, in true Pug style, wherever they lay their hat… We are indeed lucky to have her in our home and our lives!”
