Yes please keep us up-dated on her progress in her new home with a loving daddy.

poor baby girl had a "dipstick" for an owner to let her be in this condition, and probably didn't feed her on any type of schedule. Yeah it sounds like she has a new life and forever home.

P.s. I'm being polite to call her a "dipstick" as I can think of a lot of other names.

Dayswalters · 07-20-2015, 11:47 AM

Well, she is finished at the groomers. She had 10 ticks down in her ears! I'm really upset that this girl cared so little for this dog. I keep forgetting to let you know he decided to name her Princess, she didn't respond to her other name anyway so he figured she should have a fresh start with a new name. I'm hoping he joins the forum. He lurks but says he isn't much into posting...lol.

He did want me to ask how they test for Lyme disease since she had so many ticks, he's kind of worried. Her vet appt. is tomorrow. Any suggestions on questions he should ask?

JadeD · 07-20-2015, 11:54 AM

Just have him let the vet know about the ticks and let the vet decide what they would do. I can't imagine 10 ticks! Teek had 1 tick on him and I freaked. I carried him upstairs to work at removing it and when I arrived with him in the bathroom the tick was gone. 10 ticks would freak me out like crazy! We don't have ticks at my house so I rarely have to deal with it. It is when we go places that they might be exposed to them.

Not just Lyme disease that ticks can carry. Our vet does a general tick serology along with the heartworm test annually.

I'm surprised this poor baby wasn't in terrible pain with all of those ticks in her ears.

Hopefully it is a good sign that she doesn't show any outward signs of illness.

matese · 07-20-2015, 12:53 PM

As others have written, let the vet know of the 10 ticks IN the ears,the vet will know what tests to do. All he has to do is tell the vet how he got her, the vet will do what tests he thinks is necessary and give vaccines as I am sure this girl didn't give her any. The more I read the more I want to smack that girl. That's a perfect name for her, from this day forward that's how she will be treated, like a little princes. Is your friend going to have her spayed. I hope he is considering it. And don't forget to remind him to have her micro-chipped if she isn't already. A bath, nasty bugs removed, haircut, and a new name, starting her new life as a princes. Is there a way you can pictures of her to post.

Dayswalters · 07-20-2015, 01:00 PM

I'll ask him to take pics for me. He is definitely going to have her spayed as soon as the vet says she is healthy enough. She is skinnier than I thought she was now that she's had a haircut. He'll get her microchipped at the same time. She has scabs on her elbows, I'm not sure what that's from. He says she is acting much perkier since she's been back from the groomer. She is probably much more comfortable without the ticks and the matts.

matese · 07-20-2015, 01:17 PM

Scabs on elbows, if hair is matted for a long period of time, air cannot get to skin, this can cause sores, maybe that's what happened, I'm surprised this baby was not infested with fleas. Happy to know she will be spayed, this is a health factor. If shes very thin then she was not feed regularly, probably fed when the idiot remembered, that's probably why she wolfed down her food. She must feel wonderful if she's perkier, your friend will see a new yorkie emerge soon. Pictures would be awesome.

dinkster · 07-20-2015, 01:55 PM

how wonderful that she is already showing signs of feeling better. I have a feeling your friend made a decision out of love and care. Princess is the perfect name for this little Cinderella story!

snoopymom · 07-20-2015, 03:13 PM

What a heartwarming story!

I've been wondering what the results were from her vet visit.
Please update asap how she is progressing. I'm sure she feels like she's won the lottery with this wonderful new owner.

Doodlebug · 07-23-2015, 06:21 PM

This is so heartwarming. God Bless your friend. Give him a hug from me too. I hope he, or you, will keep updating so we know how little Princess is doing. All I can say is thank God he saved her.

Russpilot · 07-23-2015, 07:12 PM

It is amazing to me that anyone could care so little for an animal who depends on you for everything and is so loyal and loving. Princess is a lucky little girl!

Dayswalters · 07-23-2015, 07:42 PM

Sorry I didn't post sooner...things have been hectic. I called him today and he said she has infection in her ears, worms and is anemic. She is on antibiotics, had de wormer and has vitamins drops for the anemia. Shots are being delayed until she is feeling better and definitely no spay while she is anemic. Vet thinks she had more than one litter of puppies. However, my friend says that she is acting much spunkier and that she loves to eat. She will be a much happier little girl.
