Buster is adopted
We at California GSP Rescue often share and celebrate the happy endings of adopted dogs. However, this isn’t the ending but the beginning of a new life. Buster is a perfect example of this. After being rescued from a shelter and nursed back to health from a car accident, his foster family said he could...
Buster goes camping
It is amazing how quick German Shorthaired Pointers can attach themselves to people. Buster is no exception. Recently his foster family took him camping. After spending much of the day exercising, he found a lap to crawl up on and get pets. Kelsey didn’t mind Buster thinking he was a lapdog and having him spend...
Buster sees a duck
On a recent outing in the mountains with his foster family, Buster saw a duck. His reaction wasn’t that different from most GSPs – he wanted to get that duck! Not knowing how far he would swim out in the lake and since it was posted no dogs allowed in the lake, Buster only got...
Buster – wait and see
A few weeks ago Buster went to see Dr Kang. His wounds have all healed but now the question is, will he need surgery. While he still favors his right rear leg, Dr Kang wants to wait thirty days before doing the surgery to see if there is any change. While the surgery will allow...
Buster and the Magic Opossum
Buster is making an amazing recovery, thanks in no small part to his foster family and Dr. Kang. The daily re-bandaging is a thing of the past, although he is still limping. Through it all he has been a model patient, spending his days in the doggy ICU, otherwise known as the dog bed in the...
Update on Buster – 5th week
Since Dr Kang is away this week and there isn’t an official update on his wounds, we thought it would be nice to share a photo of Buster and Skyla – a friend he made a few weeks back in the lobby of Dr Kang’s office. While waiting to be examined, Buster carefully took the...
Update on Buster – 4th week
Earlier this week, one month after being rescued, Buster made his 5th visit to be examined by Dr Kang. After examining Buster’s wounds, Dr Kang was impressed with the progress and said it would be OK to not bandage the left leg (pictured). He advised that the right leg will still need the bandage and...
Update on Buster – 2nd and 3rd weeks
Since we were late publishing an update on Buster for the second week, we’ve combined the second and third updates. Dr Kang is impressed with how fast Buster’s wounds are healing and thinks after the fourth week he might not need the bandage on his left rear leg changed daily. It will probably be another...
Update on Buster – 1st week
Buster went for a checkup earlier this week. Dr Kang took a look at his injuries and removed some of the staples that Buster first received from the shelter vet after he had been hit by a car. After examining Buster, Dr Kang was optimistic saying that he could see new tissue growth. He recommended...
