By the time I got him in my hands and the 20 mins it took to get to the vet, he was in a coma, a hypoglycemic coma from being starved and having absolutely no blood sugar reading they could even gauge on the test. His gums were pure white :-( it took me 36 hours of high glucose treatments every hour around the clock before he finally started coming too. I could feel every bone in his tiny little body. The vet had told me if he had gone an hour longer, he would have been dead, and she was about 90% sure he would not live through the night. She even asked me if I wanted to humanly euthanize him, because if he did survive, it would effect him for the rest of his life.

She is totally amazed now that just a few months later, he now weighs 4 lbs :-) of course we don't know what damage it did internally but we are hoping he will stay healthy now, and were willing to what ever it takes to keep him as healthy as we can. He only weighed 1 lb 4 Ozs when we rescued him. Not nly could you feel all his bones, but he lost one of his upper adult canines and most of his hair fell out do to no nutrients going to those places.

Here are a few examples of how people sell them here in SoCal .

It's really sad that these people are able to conduct business this way :-( it just makes me sick.

That is so incredibly sad. Thank you for rescuing Gizmo and nursing him back to health. My niece wasn't as lucky with her first pup who ended up dying 48 hours after she got him despite medical intervention.
