Malnourished Yorkie

[Buster Brown]

I am so glad you came into this Yorkie's life. I would advise a vet visit. I wonder if they tried to dock the tail and botched it? I would take it to a vet because you do not know what else they neglected in regards to this poor baby. Thank you for being a protecting angel.

[My lil friend]

Glad that ya'll found each other. Does this baby have a name?
He needs to be seen for the tail thing and to make sure he doesn't have worms.
Im looking forward to seeing this baby grow into the beautiful boy that he really is.
I pray that he will grow strong and fit in with your family.

The world needs more caring and compassionate people like you. Thank you for taking him in.

[Micah my love]

I agree

Thanks to all for the Quick reply's and sorry for only getting back to you now.

I have Gave Alfie his shots ,worm /ticks /flea's/mites all done Mircochipped him,

washed his wound daily and is nearly healed, Which was a botched docking

I cant afford at the minute to bring Alfie to the vet tbh i have bought a good multi vitamin and always feed my dogs top quality dry food with meat and veg treats. So i will give him a month and if he does not put on weight i will bring him then. I am thinking of giving Alfie 1 meal a day of raw ground steak meat with eggs to build him up. Whats your views of feeding raw meat ? i read it can be good but never feed it to my dogs. he also had dry ears on the back on them and the hair is growing back now

How is your new addition doing? I would love to see a picture!

I so agree, an angel sent you to that pin! Bless you for giving this little guy a chance at a good life. Just the thought of what he must have already endured, breaks my heart. Definitely needs a vet visit, asap.
Sending hugs))) to the little guy.

I remember seeing a litter of Boxer puppies with botched lopped tails and the bit of white bone sticking through - awful isn't it? I did report the breeder! Well done you for getting that sorted.

Would the RSPCA or the PDSA be able to help vet-wise? It is an unusual/unexpected circumstance! Or maybe easy monthly terms at your normal vet? As for food, a couple of times a week we feed Harry raw - he loves it (but then he loves pretty much everything!). I'd just do all I could to get as much goodness as possible into him and get him built up - which is what your're doing anyway! Sally + Harry x

I think a raw food diet can be good if done properly. There has to be other ingredients besides just the meat. You can get a lot of good info online about raw diets. My little one eats Stella & Chewy's freeze dried raw food mixed with a kibble. If it was up to her all she would eat is the S&C's. She has done very well on it so far. I believe supplements are very helpful for dogs that seem to be lacking in certain areas of their health like skin and coat or weight.

I bet he is so much happier with you! I'd love to see photos!

[Buster Brown]

I am glad to hear Alfie is doing so much better in your capable hands.

[Micah my love]

So glad that you got this baby

How is he doing? I would love to hear if he is doing better
