It’s been a week after Baby Sugar’s surgery to insert an external fixator and try to save her leg. She was back at the vet for a review.
 |
| 3 months into life and she has never known happiness |
 |
| Have you ever seen such a sad puppy? Puppies are supposed to be happy and boisterous. |
Her wound was bleeding a little because callouses had formed, causing her leg to swell and push against the external fixator. The vet used a spanner to loosen the fixator. Throughout this process, Sugar just lay on the table comfortably, allowing the vet to do all that without a single protest. Pretty amazing for a tiny 2.5 month old puppy.

| Trying her best to hold herself up |
 |
| Checking on her other wounds |
Sugar is really sugar, she is such a pleasant dog. Even the vet kept commenting what a darling dog she is.

 |
| In our eyes, Sugar is a PERFECT PUPPY <3 |
 |
| Her wound was bleeding because the external fixator was too tight |
 |
| After adjusting; the metal must never touch her skin - which is why she needs to return every week to have it adjusted |
Sugar has lost a few hundred grams but hopefully will start eating better. We discovered something else too, her front right leg is deformed.
 |
| Her front right leg is deformed. She was probably born this way and will require a surgery when she is fully grown. |
The vet says she would need another surgery when she is fully grown, to insert a metal plate in her front leg. That metal would remain in her leg forever.

| Such a pretty & perfect puppy |
Poor Sugar, her problems seem never–ending.
