We tried. We tried really hard. Unfortunately, our little Champ took a turn for the worse and became septic. He was rushed to Guardian VCA Emergency, where the team was ready to start an NG tube, antibiotics and do everything they could to help him fight. But Champ’s tiny body just couldn’t fight anymore. He was too sick, and despite everyone’s best efforts, he didn’t survive. We are absolutely heartbroken.

Meet Champ & Julie! They’re two very different-sized puppies with one thing in common — they were both left at the pound and needed a second chance.
Champ arrived with a huge abscess on his neck, extremely small ear canals, and compared to his sibling, he is substantially smaller — so we know there’s more we need to figure out for this little guy. The wonderful team at Westlock Vet has since drained and flushed the abscess, and now we just need to allow the remaining gunk to continue draining as he heals. Despite everything, Champ is proving to be one feisty little guy! And little Julie just needs some extra TLC.
Both pups require round-the-clock feedings, lots of love and plenty of care to help them grow big and strong.
