A recent arrival to the Kentucky Humane Society is Hammerhead. The two-month-old puppy was extremely malnourished and suffered from severe anemia along with an intestinal parasite infestation. His initial prognosis didn’t look promising, but tiny Hammerhead is proving to be a survivor.
For the last several days, the puppy stayed in an emergency hospital receiving 24-hour care, and on Tuesday was able to leave and has been in the veterinary ward of the Kentucky Humane Society receiving the care he needs from the staff. He is still very underweight and continues to test positive for a variety of intestinal parasite that are making it difficult for him to gain weight.
Hammerhead doesn’t have much of an appetite to eat so he is being fed an Urgent Care prescription food specifically formulated for puppies recovering from serious illnesses.
Is there any doubt that Hammerhead isn’t getting lots of love and attention? He certainly seems to be enjoying the attention. You will fall in love with the following video:

He still doesn’t have much of an appetite but he’s getting lots of rest and his belly is starting to look less swollen. Please continue to keep this little guy in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers. Donations in honor of Hammerhead are so appreciated by our team and mean so much to our animals.
