 Tucker
Hello everyone! My name is Alisha and my husband, Jess, and I are taking care of beautiful Tucker. Last night we fed and watered Tucker and this morning he had finished off all of the water and food plus even a dental chew stick. This morning and afternoon my husband, my mother, Vickie, and I gave Tucker a decent shave (we are not by any means groomers), but at least he is cooler and not as matted. After we shaved all we could, we let him play outside. He sniffed around and laid down, finally. Then we gave him a bath and I think he pretty much enjoyed it. He loved the water running over his skin. Then I brushed him and I think I put him to sleep because he snuggled up to my leg. Then I gave him a massage in my lap, which relaxed him and caused him to snuggle up in my lap. He is very skinny and it seems like I can’t get him to eat much. He hasn’t eaten anything since what I gave him last night. Right now, he is in his crate with food and water, dental chew and a big fluffy pillow that he just loves!!! I am worried about his hind end because when he walks he kind of wobbles. I don’t know if he is just stiff or if there is a major problem. I am hoping he is just stiff. He is so scared and any loud noise jars him. I haven’t let him around my other dog just yet because Dax (4 ½ years, a Yorkie) is very hyper and I’m afraid that Tucker won’t know what to do. I’m trying to let him get comfortable with his surroundings before my too bubbly dog scares him even more than he already is. I’ll try to keep everyone updated on Tucker. Tomorrow he is going to the vet, so we will know more tomorrow. |
