With the cold season affecting different parts of the world, ɱaпy animals are suffering and even dying by falling somewhere and freezing there. Something similar was happening with Petey, a puppy who nearly died of cold on a rainy day in Sacramento, California.

Petey, the pup who survived the relentless cold is now playing happily.

A woɱaп was going home with her son after looking for him at school, when they passed by a park they noticed something lying on the ground, in a completely wet blanket, there were two very small puppies, they were frozen after having spent so much ᴛι̇ɱe in the park. awesome cold.

The mother quickly picked up the puppies and brought them to the Sacramento SPCA ; however, one of them was so bad that he could not resist the way there and unfortunately he died. The other was barely alive. Due to their size, it is esᴛι̇ɱated that both puppies were barely a month old.

At the shelter they soon discovered that he was abandoned because he was different from the rest of the litter.

“We gave him warm subcutaneous fluids and kako syrup to improve his blood sugar levels,” said Sarah Varanini, the coordinator of the Sacramento SPCA Foster Care center , “after a few minutes, we gave him warm moist puppy food, which he ate vigorously.”

After Petey was stable, the caregivers began to notice that he really couldn’t walk, they suspected it was because of the cold he had been through, but after several discard studies they concluded that he had the condition of cerebellar hypoplasia . , which consists of an underdevelopment of the cerebellum.

Generally this occurs during pregnancy, due to genetic causes or an infection that the mother has had at that ᴛι̇ɱe, and this is what causes Petey to not be able to walk or get up well.

However, after having gone through so much, Petey does not give up, he has learned to live with his condition, he has found a way to partially get up, and also to move around the area where he is. He is very active these days, like any pup his age, and loves to explore everything around him.

He also learned to stand very low to the ground while eating, so as not to fall forward or to the side.

Years have passed and he is now able to move around better and eat on his own, “he has learned to stay in a ‘lying down’ or ‘down’ position when eating or drinking so he is less likely to fall over,” said Elizabeth Westphal-Thomson. , rescue coordinator at the Sacramento SCA and Petey’s foster mother.

Petey found an ulᴛι̇ɱate family that loves and accepts him for who he is.
