Dex was placed inside of a cage for his stray hold, “the number of days that shelters are required to hold a stray to give owners an opportunity to claim them”, and in that time he didn’t receive any medical attention. His situation was only getting worse until some guardian angels stepped in!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
17. Guardian Angels<\/h2>\nImage: The Dodo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThen one day, Pug Rescue Austin stepped in and intervened in the situation. Dex was immediately rushed over to the rescue where they brought him in for a check-up. They soon realized that Dex’s condition was worse than they anticipated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
16. Condition<\/h2>\nImage: Facebook\/Pug Rescue Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDex was diagnosed with a terrible case of demodectic mange and skin infections. This condition was causing him to be completely hairless. It was so severe that doctors suspected he had been suffering from it for months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
15. Another Problem<\/h2>\nImage: Facebook\/Pug Rescue Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnother problem that they also noticed was Dex’s bulging eyes.\u00a0\u201cHe had \u2018dry eye\u2019 (low tear production) and both of his eyes were infected,\u201d Signe Corbin, founder and director of Pug Rescue Austin told The Dodo. This caused a lot of problems for Dex.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
14. Closed Eyes<\/h2>\nImage: Facebook\/Pug Rescue Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cHe had painful corneal ulcers from not only the lack of tear production but likely from constant itching and rubbing his face, thus traumatizing his eyes. He squinted and kept them closed most of the time.\u201d Dex was dewormed and placed on pain, antifungal, and antibiotic medications.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
13. Baths<\/h2>\nImage: The Dodo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn order to help with the painful and irritated skin, Dex was also given medicated baths consistently. The medicated baths helped to soothe his skin and his foster mom also administered eye drops to Dex’s eyes each day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
12. Worried<\/h2>\nImage: Twitter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMany of the workers at the shelter grew increasingly worried for Dex and his condition. They worried that due to the severity of his condition that he wouldn’t be able to get better. However, this little pug had a perseverant spirit and began to shock everyone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
11. Getting Better<\/h2>\nImage: Twitter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cHe was very scared the first few days, but as he started to heal and feel better, he quickly warmed up to people and became particularly attached to his foster [family],\u201d Corbin said.\u00a0\u201cWe discovered he loved to curl up in round beds with higher sides on them and he loved fleece blankets against his skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
10. Small Changes<\/h2>\nImage: The Dodo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDex began to show slow but wonderful improvements and everyone was very happy about it!\u00a0\u201cAfter a week or so, he became relaxed enough to start wagging his tail,\u201d Corbin added, \u201cand after another week, he started enjoying chew toys and interacting with other dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
9. Fan Base<\/h2>\nImage: Facebook\/Pug Rescue Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShelter workers began to provide updates on Dex and his progress. He began to grow a fan base that was ecstatic to check in with him. Hundreds of followers would check the\u00a0hashtag #dexupdate to see how the pug was doing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
8.

Another problem that they also noticed was Dex’s bulging eyes.\u00a0\u201cHe had \u2018dry eye\u2019 (low tear production) and both of his eyes were infected,\u201d Signe Corbin, founder and director of Pug Rescue Austin told The Dodo. This caused a lot of problems for Dex.<\/p>\n
