The little guy had severe parasites which left him dehydrated. He was malnourished, and he has pnuemonia...He is being treated for all these things at a local vet hospital (still) and is expected to survive, however it appears there may be some irregularities with his heart that could cause ongoing problems. As we speak he is in a humidified crate and is doing much much better!!! Starting to get up, be alert, and show signs of playfulness...All of this (including his purchase price) has cost my boss something to the tune of $4500+ dollars and counting...The poor little guy cannot be brought home yet, due to the other dogs in the house not being able to be exposed to him...
As for the store, they have no puppies in stock right now. The city that runs animal control says they have been inspected a number of times and with no problems...Somehow I doubt this. So basically my new efforts will be at seeing what can be done by alerting some of the rescue/animal rights groups in the area...
By the way the little pups new name is Zues! |
That is great news Thank God for youe Boss and thoughtful ways.. God bless!
