🐾 A Negan Update from Paws Be With You 🐾
It’s been a little while since we’ve posted an update here, and this week gave us a very good reason to check in. ❤️
Negan recently underwent dental surgery after his veterinarian at Pet Calls Animal Hospital discovered tooth resorption and gingival hyperplasia. During the procedure, his teeth were thoroughly cleaned, the necessary dental work was performed, and a gingivectomy was done to remove the excess gum tissue.
Of course, anytime our boy has to go under anesthesia, we worry. But Negan handled everything like the tough guy he is. 💪🐾 He is home, recovering, getting lots of love and taking a little time off from his therapy dog duties while he heals.
Negan has spent so much of his life showing up for other people—at hospitals, schools, nursing homes, fire departments and anywhere a little comfort is needed. This week, it was our turn to take care of him. ❤️
Keeping Negan happy and healthy is such an important part of the mission of Paws Be With You, because taking care of the therapy dog makes it possible for the therapy dog to continue taking care of others.
Thank you to everyone who loves him, follows his journey, asks about him and supports what we do. We are so grateful to have you as part of the Paws Be With You family.
Rest up, Negan. There are a lot more smiles waiting for you. 🐾❤️ Paws Be With You ♥️🐾🙏🏼
