Blink is one of a kind!  This super sweet pup has a story to tell if only he could talk!  Blink is about 8 months old. We are guessing his breed mix to be Beagle and possible Retriever mix.  Blink came to Needy Paws after being picked up as a stray in southern Missouri with an injured front paw.  He is all puppy!  He is energetic, crate trained, a snuggle bug, a playing machine and the softest boy ever!!

 
After making a trip to the vet, it is guessed that Blink got his foot stuck in a trap, as the bones in his front paw are shattered.  The injury is not “fresh” and was not treated when it happened, thus resulting in a lot of infection trapped within the paw.  He has been started on antibiotics and will continue with them for 4-8 weeks to treat the infection.  After 4 weeks on antibiotics, the vet would like to repeat X-rays to ensure there is no dead area in his paw causing the infection (it is suspected the infection is from not being treated when the wound was open).  His treatment plan will depend upon the X-rays, if he does have any dead areas, surgery will be required to remove that area inside his paw.  If the X-rays show no infection, Blink will have the all clear!  He does have a limp currently, as he has only been on antibiotics for one week so far. It is possible he may always have a slight limp.  However it does not slow this boy down!  He still runs, jumps and behaves like any other puppy his age!
 
I would love to find the perfect home for Blink without making him wait another month or two to start bonding with his new family.  Needy Paws will continue to provide his vet care for his paw until he gets the “all clear” from his vet.  Blink’s new family must be willing to follow up with his current vet for his X-rays and maintain contact if further treatment is needed.
