I just wanted to post a quick update to let everyone know that Pongo has been found and is now back home with his family in Saltville. A heartfelt thank you to all that searched for him.
I’d also like to take a moment to thank Joan Baldwin, with the Smyth County Humane Society for getting the word out via radio.

Pongo was found Saturday evening. His owner phoned me to let us know that he had been found. She also informed me that she thought Pongo had been hit by a car. I went over to look at Pongo and I did not believe he was hit by a car I believe he was caught in a trap,as the only injuries he has are to his right eye ( possibly ran into a stick) and his two hind feet are literally mutilated.

We picked up Pongo today from his owner and brought him to see our veterinarian, who confirmed what we had suspected, Pongo had been caught in a trap.
He was put on antibiotics ( Clindamycin for his feet and Tobramycin for his eye)and pain meds ( Rimadyl). Our veterinarian feels that if we can get rid of the infection in his feet, amputation won’t be needed, but should the infection spread he would require amputation. At this point all we can do really is wait and see if the antibiotics do their job. Thanks everyone!
