Oliver was found tied to a bench in the city and left to die. Luckily a good Samaritan found him and brought him into the local emergency animal clinic. When Oliver arrived he was unable to walk and having seizures. His body condition was poor and his hair was thin. The recommendation by the emergency doctors was initially to euthanize, but luckily they made the decision to give him the night on fluids and medication to see if there was any improvement. The prognosis was poor, but Oliver was a fighter and showed small signs of improvement so the doctors continued care. 

 

Oliver was hospitalized for a month before he was stable and walking well enough to be adopted out, but unfortunately due to his medical needs and seizures he was not a good adoption candidate. Taunya happened to work at the emergency hospital and fell in love with Oliver. She vowed to raise the money to get all the care and diagnostics needed for Oliver to live a happy, healthy life. 
 

After the diagnostics were done it was determined that Oliver had suffered from head trauma, consistant with being kicked or hit in the head, causing fluid build-up on the brain which was the cause of his seizures. He also had a nuclear med procedure and a liver biopsy due to liver issues. Doctors feared he might have a liver shunt, but after the diagnostics it was found that his liver issues were most likely caused by malnutrition and poor care, but these issues have since corrected themselves with proper nutrition and care. 

 

Oliver's head injury has healed now and he no longer has to take seizure medication. He also was treated for a demodex overgrowth and skin infection which has since been resolved and he's now growing his hair back in the places where he once had none. Due to the diligent care of the doctors and the unwavering devotion of his new mom, Oliver is a happy, thriving puppy.
