Bob

In Loving Memory of Bob (Special Needs Dog) Bob was pulled from Pender County Animal Shelter by Roseys Rescue in May 2018. We got Bob neutered, fully vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and began heartworm treatments for his heavy heartworm load. Bob recovered from his first injection, in July, 2018, but Bob passed away unexpectedly after his final heartworm treatments, August 17, 2018, due to complications from his injections and went into congestive heart failure. Bob had a severe head tilt to the left and deviation to the skull on the left side as well as some scarring under his left ear flap – possible previous trauma. Bob wobbles and walks in circles unless distracted. Vet check determined eardrums are intact so ruled out infection as the cause of severe head tilt, loss of movement and complete facial droop on entire left side of his head. Both of his eyes are fine and he is able to focus, just independently of each other, while he appears to look cross-eyed. So it was determined he was hit by someone early on in his life and was partially paralyzed on his entire left side of head and upper body. This is the first out of hundreds of dogs I have fostered through the treatments, that I have lost from complications after his injections. It was most likely due to his medical issues, Although we are heartbroken over the loss, Bob was very special to us and remains in our hearts today
