**WARNING ON PHOTO** This dog is going to be JUST FINE, but the photo of his injury might be disturbing. We apologize in advance. ----------------- CP was contacted by a shelter regarding a very sweet and friendly three year old black brindle Cairn with a very big problem. Lovemuffin must have climbed under a fence without enough clearance. He has a wound all the way down his spine. While the shelter cleaned the wound and provided antibiotics, they sought CPs urgent assistance so that this boy would receive proper veterinary care. Within an hour, CP made arrangements to collect Lovemuffin and get him to the vet! While under anesthesia, Lovemuffins wound was debrided and a laser treatment was administered to boost healing. It will take time and care, but Lovemuffins wound should heal nicely. Lovemuffin will join his foster home this weekend where he will recuperate and gain some much needed weight. This small boned boy will add a few pounds to his current six pound weight. Despite all the turmoil in this boys life and the obvious pain from his wound, both the shelter and veterinary staff reported that Lovemuffin was active, friendly, and very loving. All felt he was perfectly named! Thank you Cindy M. for donating to the Name A Cairn program in memory of Donald S. Cindy requested that the name be chosen by Kim D-S who chose the best term of endearment she and Donald shared - Lovemuffin.
