Seven-Month-Old Starving Pup Survived A TWICE-Fractured Spine, Now Battles Severe Mange & Tick Disease

At just seven months old and weighing only 13 pounds, Prof. Obi has already endured more suffering than most dogs face in a lifetime. After rescuers rushed him to the veterinarian, his doctor called him a miracle simply because he can still walk. X-rays revealed that his spine had been fractured in two places. These were old injuries that healed improperly, leaving his back permanently misshapen. In addition to his spinal trauma, Prof. Obi is battling two tick-borne diseases, anemia, severe malnutrition, and contagious sarcoptic mange, which requires ongoing medicated baths.

Prof. Obi is now on strict cage rest and receiving round-the-clock veterinary care. His medicated baths have already begun, and his medical team is closely monitoring his progress. Despite everything he has endured, there is encouraging news...his bloodwork shows that he is stable, and both his kidneys and liver are healthy. For a puppy who has overcome so much, every positive update is worth celebrating.

His recovery is far from over. Prof. Obi will need continued treatment for his tick-borne diseases, mange, anemia, and the lasting effects of his spinal injuries, along with specialized nutrition and supportive care to help him regain his strength.

Please donate today to help Prof. Obi get the care he deserves. This will help cover Prof. Obi’s ongoing medical care and give him the second chance he deserves. Every contribution helps him move one step closer to a healthy, pain-free future. If you’re unable to donate, sharing his story can help him reach someone who can. Thank you for standing with Prof. Obi.

Starving Pup Eats ROCKS To Survive, Now She’s One Surgery Away From Healing, But Rescuers Need Your Help

Can you imagine being so hungry that you ate rocks just to feel something in your stomach? Before being rescued, that was exactly what Professor Love did. Her body was in so much agony, and she was so depleted of nutrients that she ate rocks for meals. Now, she’s made a miraculous comeback, but without her upcoming hernia surgery, it’ll all be for nothing.

Professor Love went through the wringer before At-Choo Foundation found her. X-rays revealed broken hind legs healed incorrectly, a fused spine, a stomach full of rocks and debris she ate just to survive starvation, and a painful hernia pushing her insides through her abdominal wall. She also tested positive for two tick-borne diseases, had elevated kidney values, liver damage, and battled a fierce flea allergy that left patches of her coat missing.

But the most pressing issue is the hernia. Rescuers kept getting her checked, but for months, her bloodwork wasn’t yet cleared for the hernia surgery that doctors were adamant she needed as soon as possible. In the meantime, she wore a little outfit to protect her healing skin and was on a regimented course of medicated baths, supplements, a renal diet, and more vet visits than most dogs see in a lifetime.

Now, the time has come. Professor Love’s bloodwork has shown significant improvement, and she has finally been cleared for her hernia surgery. This is more than a major milestone on her road to recovery; this is Professor Love’s chance to FULLY heal. Rescuers are asking for your support to carry her across the finish line. As a 501(c)(3) rescue, they cannot save pups like Professor Love without your help.
