Would you lend a paw to Winnie?

Winnie was brought into our shelter last week by a kind member of our community who found him, hurting, injured, and in great need of help.  It was immediately clear that this poor dog was in a lot of pain due to a disturbingly large wound on his head that appears like it may have been inflicted by a gunshot. We are treating his wound with the resources that we have, we’re making sure he’s comfortable, and we’ve placed Winnie under close medical observation. Despite the severity of his wound, Winnie has shown a positive, upbeat attitude through it all; he’s definitely showing signs of being the energetic, one-year-old that he is!  However, due to some concerns with his behavior and a head tilt, we’re concerned that whatever caused his wound might’ve also caused some neurological damage. To best determine a beneficial course of treatment for Winnie, we need to begin with X-rays to see if in fact it is a bullet wound, and where it may be lodged, or if it’s something else altogether. Whatever the cause of his injury, Winnie will have a long road to recovery until his wound is fully healed.
