Baby was a stray puppy brought to the SPCA. As you can see she was skin and bones, but that was not half the story. When Baby was brought in she could not really eat, she would foam from the mouth, basically something was wrong. But what????
Our clinic staff began looking over Baby, did some tests, took some x-rays and nothing showed up. Then enter Dr. Graybush. When Dr. G. examined her she felt something in her throat. She decided that exploratory surgery was necessary to figure out what was inside Baby. And Dr. Graybush was right.
There certainly was something inside baby, an 8 inch stick from her esophagus into her stomach. No wonder this little girl was not right. Dr. Graybush, along with one of our vet extern students and a clinic assistant, instantly went to work to save Baby's life. They removed the stick, cleaned the area, and closed her up. After a quiet night resting, this little Baby was just about good as new (well other than the stitches down her entire belly area). For the next few days, Baby was taken care of under the watchful eyes of all of our clinic staff. She was their little Baby. And once she got better...
Well Baby, became my Baby, that is my new foster pup. This little one does not remember anything bad. Instead she rolls around constantly with my other five dogs, playing every moment she can get with them. With the weather getting better, she runs out in the yard, having the time of her life. Although Baby does not remember what happened, some of us still do. So when I saw her with a stick in her mouth, I immediately removed that temptation from her, and then back to playing chase with the other dogs she went. At the end of a hard day of play, Baby found a spot next to my Mason, to curl up and go to sleep. As of April 30, Baby is still looking for her new owners and a new playmate!!

Dear Susanne,
Thank you for fostering Baby and for the very touching story and the photos. Lucky this puppy ended up at the CASPCA and got well. I bet she won't be up for adoption very long before she gets her wonderful new home.

Great story. : )
I met Baby one day and she is the cutest little thing. It's just amazing how quickly they recover at that age too. She was bouncing around like nothing had ever been wrong with her.
