Special Needs Dog
Viserion didn’t use to be a tripod. He was seen along Visayas Ave. in Quezon City, dragging his bleeding hind legs. His injuries turned out to be either inborn or caused by past trauma, and not a recent hit and run incident.
The vet amputated his left hind leg because it had severely atrophied and hindered his ability to strengthen his right hind leg. After some therapy, his remaining leg has started to regain some function.
Viserion is also incontinent and prone to urine scalding. Because of this, a mass formed on his genitals and it had to amputated. A sex change was effectively performed, and that area has to be washed and protected with petroleum jelly at least 2x a day.
Despite all his hardships, he remains one of our most affectionate and playful canine resident. There’s no stopping him, with or without his wheelchair.

Viserion is one of our most demanding residents. The level of care he requires is astounding! We would appreciate some help with his grooming and treatment kit, as well as his food supply.
