Pocket Rocket needs surgery!
This adorable little guy, Pocket, was the only non-shih tzu in the Katy breeder’s bunch. She was starting to breed shih tzu/poodle mixes, commonly called “shi-poos.” Amazingly, he has numerous health problems, including severe luxating patella and retained testicles. It’s sad that with all of these health problems, he was one of the “studs” creating more dogs with the same problems.
We won’t fix the patellas simply because at five pounds, he probably can deal with them with no major problems. But, we do need to get him neutered.
With diagnostics and surgery, his bill will total around $700. If you can help with his vet bills, please CLICK HERE to contribute via paypal or HERE to tell me you’re sending a check. If you’d like to use a credit card, email me (teresa@shihtzu-rescue.com) and I’ll send you the form.
