As some of you might have seen, there is a very sick little puppy that was offered for free in the Rescue Forum here on YT. After much hard work "behind the scenes" the OP was persuaded to surrender this pup to a rescue for proper care. Megansmomma now has Teagan and has been spending a lot of her time in the past few days caring for this little one. Teagan is unable to stand or walk because of a traumatic injure to the C3 and C4 vertebra in his spine~after being stepped on.
He also has a congenital defect of the Axis C1 and C2 and Luxating Patella which is due to his poor breeding. It was learned at his initial vet visit that if he would have had immediate surgery to his spine, he would have most likely made a full recovery. But since the original accident happened at the beginning of February with his only treatment being an oral steroid until his surrender this past weekend which was well over a month ago.
After discussions with the vet Teagan will need to be seen by a Neurologist and will then need surgery that is estimated at close to $5,000!
It was also suggested by the vet that he might not ever walk again because the injury which happened in the beginning of February was not treated with immediate surgery as suggested by the ER vet when the accident happened. The poor little guy is only 4 months old and 3 lbs of pure Yorkie love
He just needs lot YT love and prayers for him to get the care that he so much deserves.
Although she would love to keep him in her foster care it was decided even before he was surrendered that YTNR would be able to provide one on one care for little Teagon in hope that he can make a wonderful recovery and be able to walk again.
Megansmomma as you might know already has one foster pup Truman, her own three rescue pups as well as three kids and a husband.
Teagan will need 24 hour care once he has surgery in hope that he will regain the ability to walk again.
She is getting ready tonight to drive him to meet Corine in Indianapolis to hand him over to her care. She has sent me pictures and a video so that you can see just how cute Teagon is and she knows he will steal your heart just like he has hers.
He will be put onto the YTNR website probably late tomorrow afternoon and I'm sure that Megansmomma will keep us posted how the transfer gone tomorrow. Here is a link to the YTNR website
