Tierheim-Held Mon: Bulldog with short legs needs help!

In the Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter there is a new, charming resident: the Bulldoggen male Mo. He was exposed to its former owners and suffers from the painful pododermatitis, an inflammation of the paw skin. Although Mo with its short legs and the muscular stature is rather noticeable, he has conquered many hearts in the storm. On Instagram, the shelter shared a picture of it, which immediately caused numerous positive reactions. Many animal fans are enthusiastic about Mo and show their support in the comments.

"Mo" it wasn't easy. The previous owners simply exposed him, which means a large deprivation for the little guy. In the animal shelter, one now hopes that he will soon get fit and find his own home as soon as the treatment against pododermatitis has been completed. The zookeepers are confident that Mo will soon find his new luck. You have a lot to offer the dog a safe and loving environment.

agony and health concerns

The living conditions of Mo also throw shadows on the subject of agony. While some animal fans suspect that Mo’s health problems, especially pododermatitis, are due to agony, the shelter expressly does not question this. In breeding Bulldoggen, there are many risks that can lead to such health problems.

In particular, the brachyzephaly, a characteristic that can affect many bulldogs, brings with great health challenges. This includes breathing problems and the tendency to a variety of other symptoms. The shortening of the snout in dogs can not only lead to difficulties when breathing, but also cause eye and teeth problems. In combination with the pronounced curve of the head, such dogs are also more susceptible to corneal injuries and even for serious diseases such as hydrocephaly. The health impairments are therefore diverse and can have serious effects on the life of dogs, especially when they grow old. This is an important question for animal owners and breeders.

The discussion about the agony should not be ignored. The [mission statement] (https://www.veto animal protection.de/magazin/hunde-ratgeber/qualzucht-hunde/) The animal husbandry goes in the same direction as the animal shelter's efforts to always be seen in the foreground. It is important to develop awareness of the difficulties that dogs like Mo have to fight, and to ensure that future generations do not have to suffer from comparable agony.

Overall, hope for a soon recovery and a loving new home remains. His story encourages us to look beyond the box and think about how we deal with the animals that enrich our lives as a society.

If you too would like to support Mo and its history, let yourself be looked for in the city of Cologne Delbrück in the animal shelter and maybe find a new four -legged friend yourself.
