Hiya… I am Nate and I am a sweet 1.5 year old special needs English Bulldog. I was surrendered to IEBR in June 2017 with some mobility issues to my back legs. I also have urine and fecal incontinence but I wear a belly band like a champ. I was taken to an orthopedic specialist who did not see any broken bones but did give Club IEBR the unfortunate news that my condition is all due to a prior spinal injury. This was heartbreaking and shocking news for Club IEBR. You see they really hoped that I could be surgically fixed.
Another concern is that I drag one of my back legs which results in an open sore. My wonderful foster mom wraps my leg to allow the wound to heal, but due to my past history with this wound causing infection-I am showing signs of severe severe arthritis that they tell me a 1.5 year old dog should not have. I also have severe osteomyelitis and it is recommended that this leg be amputated to reduce risk of infection. This procedure will require me to be in a cart but we aren’t there yet.
I am happy all the time and do not know or care about my disability and I refuse to let it slow me down. I can run and I can play so please don’t feel sorry for me! Lastly, I eat a raw diet and this helps with my fecal incontinence. I truly love to be with my people so if you are looking for some love, I am your guy. I know I require special assistance and a lot of work but there is a special someone out there for me. Is it you?
