Dear #UglyDogs, meet Maple! 🍁

She will be joining our household at the end of May. 🥰

Me too, it's really hard to see her uncomfortable and frustrated.

Unfortunately, Maple hasn't been coping with the anaesthesia or adjusting to crate rest as well as we had hoped.

She's been experiencing quite a bit of distress and restlessness, so her surgeon faxed us out a prescription for Trazodone today to help her settle during initial healing.

I have been reunited with my four-legged lampshade! Don’t mind her face, she’s uh… on the good stuff.

Maple has been dropped off at the vets, everyone cross their fingers and toes that she’s a good girl and things go smoothly.

I hate asking for help, but even with pet insurance, $1500.00 is a massive vet bill to pay up-front. If anyone feels so inclined to lend us a hand…

These are the growths slated for removal. The veterinarian believes at least one of them is infected, which puts us on a bit of a time crunch.

Unfortunately, Maple had an incident last night in which she chewed off her largest papilloma, leaving a large, raw open wound in a sensitive area.

Today’s vet appointment only totalled $110.00 for the examination fee, but they want to see her again tomorrow for surgical removal.

Maple and several of her siblings all developed similar symptoms, which suggests they most likely contracted this condition from their dam.

The good news is, most of the puppies are well and truly on the mend, with their growths clearing up and falling off without any medical intervention.

When we went to the vet two weeks ago, Maple was diagnosed with CPV, otherwise known as Canine Papillomavirus.

Papillomas are generally benign growths that are most common in puppies and dogs with immature or suppressed immune systems, and in time, they usually resolve on their own.
