Hedgehog Needs Your Compassion!!! - Baltimore, MD
Hedgehog: altered male, 12yo, 9.4lbs
Hedgehog was found as a stray on 4/19. This sweet, elderly boy is underweight and showing signs of significant medical decline, but despite it all, he is still here, quietly holding on.
He is a geriatric dog with multiple complex medical concerns. Hedgehog has severe dental disease (grade 4/4), which is likely painful and impacting his ability to eat and maintain weight. He is also presenting with concerning cardiac abnormalities, including bradycardia and a grade 3/6 heart murmur, which will require further evaluation to understand the full extent of his condition.
At this time, Hedgehog needs rescue placement to allow for a full medical workup, including bloodwork, a cardiac assessment, and a dental procedure, if he is stable enough.
Despite everything he’s facing, Hedgehog deserves relief from pain, a warm place to rest, and someone willing to give him the care he needs.
A full medical summary can be provided upon request.
If you can foster Hedgehog and have room in your home and heart, until he finds his forever home, please let us know at Charlie to the Rescue! Go to https://www.charliedog.org/services and fill out a short inquiry. We will try to find a rescue that can help you get him out of the shelter to save his life and support him financially while in your care.
