Baxter was beaten to the point that his hip was injured. He was rescued by a very kind woman who now needs help in diagnosing his injury. We were notified by this kind lady’s son of Baxter’s condition and 4 Paws 1 Heart decided to help Baxter get the exam he needs and further assist with medical care if needed. Reducing the number of abandoned dogs and cats by providing needed medical care is the mission of 4P1H.
4P1H made arrangements with the Michigan Humane Society to have Baxter seen by a doctor during the week of January 2, 2012.
Baxter was examined and x-rayed, and had blood work done at the Michigan Humane Society. It was determined that he has severe arthritis. The MHS provided pain medication and he is doing well. Baxter does not appear to be experiencing the pain he had prior to our involvement.
