Magick (Jack) Magick, mini schnauzer, 12 months old, 11 lbs, male, neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, heart worm negative, dewormed, will require a special diet for the remainder of his life & for another full year will need an ultrasound every 3-4 months to check for stones. Magick's life already for such a very short time on this earth has been one of resilience, many, many dedicated people & a dogs will to survive. Magick was rescued from a government owned shelter in Korea where the probability of how he ended up there was a breeder who did not want him & dumped him & the odds of him getting out of there without the help of the Chinese rescue were slim to non. Magick was adopted to a family through the Chinese rescue but began to have major health issues that yet were to be determined. Unfortunately the family could not afford his unexpected care with the cost involved & he was going to be euthanized & we were asked could we please help him through the Chinese rescue. Our answer was yes, let's fight for Magick. We also had no idea the extent of what was needed with Magick until we rushed him to our vets & onto an emergency hospital where his chance of survival was not looking good. It was discovered extremely quickly that Magick's bladder wall had died, he had a raging infection going on with stale & infected urine inside of him, which needed to be removed, he had to many stones to count that that his internal medicine vets did not even bother to count them because the number was so high. His liver values were not great & there was the possibility of him having a shunt & he was almost blind & of course needed an emergency surgery immediately to fix what could possibly save his life. 2 things were needed here to start $12,000 & prayers. We ended up with both but the battle was not over yet, Magick spent a few days in the emergency hospital while we awaited all the test results to come back, with the surgery & continued care, along with a special diet & rare medications Magick & countless specialty vets visits & vets visits for quite a bit of time Magick become who he was always meant to be. A healthy little dog. With the care of 2 outstanding foster homes, one in CA & one gets in WA Magick's personality begun to shine through. Magick has needed well over $15,000 worth of medical care along with his medications & diet & so on. None of the above has slowed this guy done one bit. He is a cheeky happy fellow that will let you know he wants lots of living and play time. He rides beautiful in a car, has loved every human he has met with his foster mom. Oh does he love to he held and snuggled. He sleeps on the bed cuddled next to you. If left home he runs to his crate and lets you know he is ready for his treats when you tell him it is time to go night night. Magick is a vocal boy and will let you know if you are not fixing his dinner fast enough, when he wants on or off furniture or he feels you or one of his foster siblings should play with him. He loves to play with all kinds of toys but seems to prefer ones that make noise. Though he has impaired vision nothing slows him down. He runs around the yard like a happy goof but seems to not be able to see very well close up. Sometimes he runs into things and just keeps going like nothing happened. He uses his tiny nose and mouth to figure things out. He does like to nibble on and play with fingers especially if you are petting or brushing his face. He just wants everything to be a game. He is learning he has to be gentle when he does this. He eats his special diet amazing, loves eating and gets it in a soft slow feeder dish or he will eat an entire meal in about 30 seconds. With the slow feeder it takes him 5-10 minutes. He will try to sneak into the other dogs dish if he gets done to quickly but does not like to share his dish. This guy is truly special and his wiggly happiness is infectious. It is truly
