 Maybe fostering sick baby
Hi guys. The rescue I volunteer with (usually doing homevisits) called me. There was a bust in Glouster County (NJ) and there is a 6 week old Yorkie pup with possible Hydrocephelos. If no one takes the pup they will put it down. Our rescue does not have the funds to take in a sick pup, but one of the woman there know I'm a sucker for Yorkies. I agreed to take the pup and bring him to my private vet at the least for an evaluation. My thoughts are that this pup may be much younger then 6 weeks old, hence why it's wobbly when walking. Also, hyperglycemia in which case I've already suggested they try to give the pup some nutrical. I feel like I'm on pins and needles waiting for a call to know what's going on. it's about an hour drive from me but I've agreed if need be that I'd pick the pup up tonight, just to get him or her in a safe environment. I don't know if it's a male or female. I only know that they say it's six weeks old, and may have hydrocephelos. I just could not see not at the least giving this pup a chance. I can only be a temporary safe house for this pup and may at some point need some help from one of our reputable Yorkie Rescues. I think the pup deserves to at least have a warm, clean house with love and a chance to survice. I cannot understand how anyone would just put the pup down without even giving him or her a chance or without knowing if there is anything even wrong with it. Elaine |
