 Rescue Bailey won't eat
I erverybody! My rescue Yorkie "Bailey" (we think he is 12) is with us now a week and a half. The little boy has been dumped at the vets to be put down. I do also have a 13 year old Yorkie girl since she was a puppy, so the vet does know me very well and called me to see if I would adopt Bailey. When I saw his little poor face I possibly couldn't say no! Bailey has been starved for several weeks and is completely undernourished, he also has the most awful teeth I have ever seen. So, the problem is he won't eat sufficient to build up weight-he obviously has terribble pains while eating. It doesn't help that he also is the most fussy eater I have ever seen! Thought my girl is bad enough, but he is impossible. Bought every quality puppy food available, cooked at least 10 different homecooked meals- he only takes a bit of roast beef in gravy with rice. Anyway, I'm getting seriously worried now, don't know what else to offer him. He will have his dental surgery next Monday, but don't know if he will survive it if he doesn't eat!! Please, need some ideas asap!! |
