Help is needed for a rescued puppy who was born without legs and is valiantly attempting to live his life to the fullest.

Even though this stunning puppy was born without a lower half, he continues to win people over.

Because of his unparalleled zeal and love for life, Fort Worth, Texas-based Bonsai the Bulldog has admirers worldwide.

The six-month-old puppy had several rare congenital abnormalities at birth, including a small, restricted pelvis, just half of his spine, and no pelvis at all.

Despite having to have both of his hind legs amputated while he was still a small puppy, he has not let that stop him.

He has several ailments, including Sacrocaudal Dysgenesis, a kind of Spina Bifida, and Sacral Agenesis, a human illness also known as Caudal Regression Syndrome.

Furthermore, Bonsai had Swimmer’s Syndrome from birth because he was a Walrus Puppy, which means that he was engorged with fluid and lacked hind-end movement.

According to Bonsai’s owner Elizabeth Hart on his fundraising website, Swimmer’s Syndrome is a disease where the newborn pup’s chest becomes dangerously flat and the working legs splay out to the sides, causing pressure on the internal organs.

Bonsai’s malformed vertebrae and pelvis, which led to the amputation of his rear legs, are incurable but treatable with time and therapy.

To help manage his issues, Bonsai will need to undergo several thorough inspections of his internal anatomy, which may include an expensive MRI scan and other sophisticated imaging procedures.

 

On the page, Ms. Hart states that they have not yet been able to find a single instance of the precise conditions that Bonsai has in any other living animal.

For Bonsai, getting a set of specially designed wheels to replace his hind legs and enable him to walk is the next step.

“Bonsai has advanced significantly!” Today, he turns six months old, and we are incredibly proud of his bravery and fighting spirit. Ms. Hart uses his YouCaring page to write.

“He brings happiness, a positive outlook, empathy, and a delightful sense of humor to those who follow in his footsteps.”

 

Since there isn’t any precedent that we are aware of that offers a “prognosis” or outcome for bonsai, we will simply have to deal with any issues as they arise and take things day by day.
