These furry friends of ours go from cute, cuddly and clumsy pups to full-grown adults only in a matter of months. Although German Shepherds grow into large dogs when fully grown, this particular German shepherd will, unfortunately, look like a cuddly fur pup for the rest of his life. Ragnar, a German shepherd, was diagnosed with Pituitary Dwarfism, after an infection caused by the Giardia parasite.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BuzIOTUHX_5\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=13&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fworthyshared.com&amp;rp=%2Fthis-2-year-old-german-shepherd-with-dwarfism-will-remain-a-puppy-forever%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawFJKElleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZiwGki3syXxKk7sXQBw5kWJixsRYTZsxdn9rG69uPREMB5sWJvbdgc64A_aem_xVks9LJDJwgWIi4N7S_2Xg#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1360.9000000003725%2C%22ls%22%3A995.5%2C%22le%22%3A1228.9000000003725%7D\" height=\"1154\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ragnar\u2019s owners helped him to eventually get rid of the infection, which was on his neck.

In a typical scenario, this condition is linked with having a thyroid disorder called hypothyroidism. Due to this disorder, the thyroid glands don\u2019t produce enough hormones, and this had caused Ragnar to suffer from hair loss and flaky skin.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"td-modal-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worthyshared.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/15.jpg?resize=539%2C692\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-212\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worthyshared.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/15.jpg?resize=539%2C692\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worthyshared.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/15.jpg?w=539&amp;ssl=1 539w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/worthyshared.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/15.jpg?resize=234%2C300&amp;ssl=1 234w\" alt=\"\" width=\"539\" height=\"692\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Luckily for Ragnar, he is now on the mend due to the medication that he is on.
