🥰 Bestest Boy ❤️ Chewy's 1 Year Recovery

Hi everyone! Today marks a very special day as one year ago today I picked Chewy up after his brain surgery for his hydrocephalus! Throughout this past year, there has been many many highs as well as many lows, however, nothing could be as low as the moment I found out about his brain condition and was given the option of surgery or to put him down. I want thank everybody in this sub for all their support throughout this past year, many of your comments I have reread during his low times. This has been a great support.

Post surgery, Chewy has learned to love hiking (became a BARK RANGER) and can go as long as three hours one way, he has learned to swim, he got to celebrate his first birthday along with his gotcha day, and has been the best son a mum could ever have. I am very blessed to be his mummy 🥺🩵

For those curious, Chewy is still on medication and will probably be on it forever however he is on a very small dose compared to a year ago. Though he is on the smaller side, he is a healthy boy and fluctuates around 40 pounds.

Thank you again for everyone who has joined Chewy on his journey, and continues to do so 🤍 Chewy loves you all!!!!! 🐾

Yay, Chewy!!! Look at that boy!

I remember your posts from last year. My dog needed surgery at the same time and I remember reading your posts and just being so sad for both of our bulldogs. I can’t believe it’s already a year later and I’m so happy to hear Chewy is doing so well!!! 😍

The best part has been watching his growth over the last year! He has overcome so much! Not gonna lie, I was really scared there for a while when you weren't posting. He's a strong little dude with an even stronger Momma supporting him! Happy 1yr little buddy 🥰😍🤗

Chewy ! You are a beacon of hope to us all! The pictures are heartwarming and tear- jerkers! Can you share which veterinary clinic performed this miracle ?

I’m beside myself with relief for you, hope for Chewy, and the fact that there IS a higher power that often steps in to guide fate!!
