Meet Nugget. This young pup was found lying in a ditch after being hit by a vehicle and rushed to an emergency clinic for immediate care. His injuries are extensive — a dislocated shoulder, fractured pelvis, sacroiliac (SI) dislocation, several broken ribs, and trauma affecting his dorsal vertebrae.
Despite the pain and everything he’s been through, Nugget has remained incredibly sweet, gentle, and cooperative with his care team. His resilience is already shining through.
The road ahead will not be easy. Nugget faces weeks of recovery, ongoing veterinary treatment, pain management, and strict rest while his body heals. But we are hopeful. With the right medical care, time, and support, we are optimistic this brave boy can make a full recovery.
