This darling little 2 month old purebred Golden Retriever puppy was transported into RAGOM care today and named Noah.   He was surrendered from a breeder who couldn't sell him because he's special.  Why is he special you ask?  Is it because he is so cute, or because he gives the best puppy kisses, or because he's gentle and loves to cuddle with you?  No, that's all true too, but he's special because his little body doesn't work like it should.   You can see from the pictures, that he can sit normally, he can stand too, he can even walk a few steps, but then his back end falls over, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.  He can then wiggle around and get his feet back under him and stand up and walk a little ways further, before once again, his back end falls over.   Monday morning he will visit a vet to get x-rays and see if we can determine what is causing his problem.  If x-rays don't show anything unusual, his next trip will be to the University of Minnesota for a neurological consult.  But I'm getting ahead of myself.  Tonight, he ate a big dinner, drank a big bowl of water, pottyed outside (good boy!), laid on the couch, cuddled and watched tv and is now sleeping after his long day.  Tomorrow starts our journey to help this little boy get better.  I told him, relax, we'll help you, you're in RAGOM care now.   Stay tuned.
