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.
