What type of medical problems do rescue dogs usually have?

Some dogs come to us in perfect health, while some have chronic conditions such as dry eyes or arthritis that require daily medication but are not a serious health concern. Others have major health conditions that are either corrected or managed to the extent medically possible by CPR. CPR will evaluate and do everything medically necessary to make the foster pug as healthy and comfortable as possible so it may lead the best life it can. This may involve surgery for an elongated palate, stenotic nares or luxating patellas, treating diabetes or thyroid conditions, providing pain management, etc.
