Pongo was rescued by a friend, Vincent on 7 Dec 2006.
Everyone thought that the dog is unlikely to survive. But just look at him NOW!

18th January 2007
It is unlikely that Pongo will be adopted but if there is one who is willing to give a permanent home to him, please leave a posting here and I will ask Vincent to contact you.

You can lighten Vincent’s burden of caring for Pongo for long term by making contributions towards his boarding, his food and his veterinary care. Please leave a posting here for details on how to do this.

Pongo is recovering very well. He is eating very well everyday. Now he is taking his Prescription i/d formula diet daily due to his non-stop diaharrea eariler. His fur is growing nicely except for his lower portion at his hip, the open sore still needs time to recover. We suspect that pongo was confined in a very small cage for a very long time which has caused his open wounds at his hip and also taking the habit to pee and poo on his own body. He is still abit nervous and will pee whenever u want to touch his body or want him to stand up to change his paper. Dr Au said that is still alright as it is better than he cannot pee. However, pongo has the problem of pushing out his faeces. Most of the time i have to help him to remove his faeces by using the cotton buds. Pongo now try to move around more often. I happened to see him a few time walking and smell around the room when alone. And twice he has went out the room to the backyard and sit under the tree. He will let us pat his head and sometime will smell us from behind when we are cleaning up his sleeping place.

Thanks so much to you and everyone for helping pongo to the road of recovery.

Regards
Vincent
