Dobermann Homecoming Tomorrow

Dobie ready to come home

PETPOSITIVE NEWSFLASH!

DATELINE PETALING JAYA:

DOBEACE ZHAR, the four-year old Dobermann service canine of PETPOSITIVE, will be discharged tomorrow - after spending almost a week in a popular veterinary hospital here.

Zhar underwent emergency surgery last Thursday to remove a foreign object that had caused a life-threatening blockage in his intestine.

His veterinarian surgeon decided to go in immediately when it became obvious that there was no time to waste.

Zhar was warded at once after the operation which took place in Gasing Veterinary Hospital and monitored closely during his recovery.

He returns in the morning where a follow up programme will be introduced during his convalescence.

Zhar's stitches come out on February 1.

Scores of people on Facebook and Twitter were earnestly praying for his full recovery.

Zhar To Undergo Gastroscopy

PETPOSITIVE NEWSFLASH!

DATELINE PETALING JAYA: 

DOBEACE ZHAR, PETPOSITIVE'S service canine is back at the Gasing Veterinary Hospital here.

The four-year old Dobermann, which celebrated its birthday yesterday, has been suffering from stomach upsets for nearly a week - resulting in vomiting.

Veterinarians from GVH who have run blood tests and even an X-ray are trying to pinpoint the cause of his illness which they think could be anything from a blockage to gastritis.

This afternoon they will be performing a gastroscopy which they hope will arrest the problem at last. 

Zhar has been placed on drips to stop his vomiting and prevent him from dehydration.

Petpositive is grateful to the veterinarians in Gasing Veterinary Hospital for assisting our top service canine.
