 Hydrocephalus? Strabismus?
We just rescued a 3.5 lb yorkie/chi yesterday from a woman who was selling him for $75.00 on craig's list. This dog was in terrible shape. He smelled like urine and his nails were so long he could not walk. When we took off the t-shirt he had on he was skin and bones; all his ribs and hip bones are showing. He shakes, seems terrified of everyone, but will quickly warm up to you and lick your nose. He is only 18 months old but has never seen a vet after his second series of shots nor has he has any heartworm protection. Our little boy is in bad shape. But we think with good food and lots of love, he will come around.
Our biggest concern is his eyes... they seem to look in different directions. The Vet has not assessed him yet but I just wondered if someone else on here had an opinion... we have never gotten a dog into our rescue that looked like this. We have heard of two different conditions... Hydrocephalus and Strabismus. Does anyone have any information they could share with us? Thanks.
I have not even had time yet to feel the anger towards the previous owner. That will have to wait for another day.
