Duncan

Duncan had 2 surgeries paid for by the Clay Fund.

Duncan was 2 years old when he came into rescue. Though his former owners wouldn’t acknowledge it, it appears he as given up because they weren’t willing to pay for his medical treatment. Not only was Duncan suffering from severe hip dysplasia, he also was suffering from problems in one of his anal sacks that was making his life miserable. A foster family stepped up and agreed to care for him during his extensive recuperation. He first had the anal sack resection and then the hip surgery. After he fully recovered, the foster family officially adopted him and he is now living the life of a pampered Golden. If you were one of the many that helped Duncan, we all thank you for your kindness and generosity.

 

Hip dysplasia is a condition that afflicts many dogs, but seems to strike the large breeds more often. It results in poor hip sockets and many times a deforming of the ball on the dog’s femur. For information on this condition, see our FAQ page.
