Summary

Stormzy, a dog hit by a car and suffering a severe brain injury in October, made a remarkable 11-week recovery with proper veterinary care and rehabilitation, learning to walk again and ultimately being adopted by a loving family in Thailand. Despite initial financial hardship forcing the owner to care for him at home, consistent medical treatment and patience led to nearly complete healing.

    On the 23rd of October Stormzy came into us with a massive brain injury. He couldn’t walk or even support his head. Today 11 weeks later, Stormzy was adopted and went home with his forever family… (1/8) 🧵

    He’d been hit by a car. His owner had frantically been looking for a vet. He was told in this pic that he needed to pay to put him to sleep. He didn’t have the money so he had to take him home for 4 full days and just watch him hopelessly (2/8)

    Our vet said just give him time. It was incredibly painful to watch him suffer so much. But the medicines and rest really did work. He couldn’t walk or eat himself for weeks. But the swelling stated to go down (3/8)

    I would just talk to him in those early days. His stare was always vacant. I would often find him contorted or banging his head trying to lift it. But he always showed the will to live (4/8)

    Walking wasn’t easy and it must have been 1000 falls with him. He had to learn how to take a tiny step again but we got there over the course of November and December (5/8)

    Today he is a big boy and 90% healed. He has little co-ordination issues but nothing major. He’ll continue to heal. The staff were very sad seeing him leave. He is being adopted by an English couple who live in Thailand who work remote so will be with him all day (6/8)

    Stormzy’s most important goodbye was to Dr Singha our vet who believed in him. He is the reason that he is alive today. Two lovely boys (7/8)

    Here he is leaving today for the journey home with a little stop at the beach. His parents bought him lots of toys and new beds and his own little harness. A very happy ending for Stormzy ❤️ (8/8)
