This is Sydney. He was found on the streets in Yuma, Arizona.

It was noticed he was very thin and was taken to the vet for exams. The vet felt his stomach and was shocked by what she found. All his intestines were pushed up into his chest against his lungs.

He hacks from the pressure against his lungs. The equipment and surgical expertise were not found locally in Yuma, so the vet made calls to Phoenix and found a surgeon to see him. On April 22nd, 2025, is Sydney's first appointment. If his diaphragm is not there, they can make one out of mesh as a replacement. This surgery is urgent; the vets feel he won't survive 6 months.

He has a home to go to with lots of care and love and should live a much longer and happier life.
