He has already gained a little weight and can kinda stumble walk for almost half a foot! Before falling over himself.. however he walks very mangled, I don't know how a dog could walk the way he does with his paws intangled...

I am felling very hopeful about Vinico... he has tons of hope! He just knows he is going to make it =)

I am so happy to hear this encouraging update! Perhaps good nourishment will go a long way towards Vinny's improvement and eventual recovery. I am praying every day for this baby ... I can't get him off my mind. God bless you and your husband!

I am sorry to hear about Vinny I knew when I read your first post there was something not right as I stated in that thread I knew Jeff was the breeder and knew people had problems with him before. It just wouldn't make since for someone to spend 7500 on the god and lock them in a car just to return them the story doesn't add up. I knew it. you and your furbaby are in my prayers.

Thank you everybody who has Vinny in their prayers It means a lot to him and I

as ask earlier Vinny is one year old.

I know i should never have trusted Jeff Dane I am happy in a way i did though. I just love vinny so much.

every time i read updates on little vinny i get tears in my eyes. it breaks my heart that such a precious puppy has to go through this, and that you have to watch him and figure out a way to keep him going. youre doing an amazing job!!! keep your head high!!!! you make him very happy, thats why hes doing so well! he loves his mama

this is really nice of you to recommend this dr.

Kaity · 10-09-2008, 07:58 AM

I woke up this morning and Vinny had a runny nose and keeps kinda weezing almost acting like he is blowing his nose... no cough or sneezing. at least not yet! Do you think this could be related... maybe Kennel Cough? Something eles?

Somtimes the little ones can get upper respitory infections and you have to be careful about it turing into pnemonia ~ plus he was in the 'baggage' area of the plane and he could have gotten a 'chill' from that and now that is turning into an upper resp. infection, etc...

I wouldn't mess around being that he is so small and fragile, they can go down quickly...

Kaity · 10-09-2008, 06:06 PM

So this time I took him to my moms normal vet. I had to get him checked out within 48 hours before and it was sunday so we went to petsmart. My vet said that his soft spot on his head never healed(so you cen feel it) That he still has his some of his baby teeth and they are very yellow and that only one of his testicals his have droped. He also agreed he though he had a liver shunt he also said his soft spot in his head could be slowing his circulation and that could be part of his problem too.

he said if he get surgery he still might act a lttle special

He has also gained 4 ounces!!!! from 1.2 now 1.6 I think he might be health enough for blood work now! He now can growl at our cats and try to play with my moms poodle when I bring him over there. well while vinny is laying down lol. And his Cold is nothing... the vet said as long as he eats he will be okay in a few days

I am happy he is okay... as far as his weezing
