You say your relatives will not see a vet, so it looks like the poor little mite will have to struggle on without professional help and possibly die from malnutrition, or something else. The fact that your relative continues to breed pups without the necessary support of vet help is scary and I hope you will do what you can to stop this. I do not wish to offend you, but YT's aim is to improve the breed and help others to do so too. Please try and do your best to help this tiny pup by getting him seen ASAP.
Good Luck, and please keep us posted on how the little mite is doing. |
Thank you for "encouragement". I am trying to convince the owner to let me bring momma and puppies to my house and my vet tech neighbor has offered her assistance. I guess that's better than nothing. If I take them to the vet (and pay for the services which I would have to) I am not helping the cause any.
It breaks my heart but I will do what I can to help within a reasonable means, if that makes sense.
I can't stress enough that I completely discourage them having more puppies. She told me this evening they plan to give away the momma after the puppies are gone. As sad as it makes me that someone would just "give away" their family member, I have a sense of relief. I will likely consider taking her from them. She's a sweet, sweet girl.
