In September, Christopher was found as a helpless stray with a badly broken leg. At the time, he was estimated to be under a year old and weighed a mere 5-6 pounds. His small stature hinted at a possible Chihuahua/Yorkie mix, but his journey had only just begun.

Swift action was taken, and he underwent emergency surgery to repair his broken leg, complete with plates and screws. He was transferred to a shelter, where his resilience shone through as he endured the healing process. However, as the cast came off, it was revealed that his other front leg was twisted, and he hesitated to put weight on it. X-rays uncovered serious abnormalities, prompting veterinarians to consider the possibility of another surgery or even amputation.

As if that wasn't enough, additional challenges emerged. Elevated kidney values hinted at potential kidney disease, demanding further investigation. Recognizing the severity of his condition and the long road ahead, Christopher was entrusted to the care of BUTTONNOSES Rescue .

Scheduled to meet our orthopedic surgeon in December, Christopher faces the prospect of more medical interventions. Tests to delve into his kidney issues, vet visits and treatments, even trips to our holistic vet where we've witnessed success in treating similar cases in the past.

Christopher’s journey towards recovery is far from over. Neuter surgery (complicated due to his cryptorchidism) and a dental procedure to remove his baby teeth are also on the horizon.

Despite these challenges, Christopher remains a very sweet and playful boy, proving that his indomitable spirit triumphs over adversity. His bad leg doesn't hinder his zest for life, and he continues to embrace the joys of puppyhood.
