Malnourished Yorkie Hi i was at a horse show and outside the gates were stalls 1 had sign Yorke male for sale 18 months old , i went for a look not really interested but in a box was this small smelly male yorkie with dry hair and a sorry look on his face ,as i picked him up i could feel every bone. :( to cut a long sorry short i bought him out of feeling sorry for him, once i got him home i was him and noticed the tip of his tail was missing raw but not infected and a bit of the bone showing .i have being giving him multi-vitamin supplement and washed the wound daily with disinfectant. My question to you is what could i give him to boost his recovery(although he perked up when he seen my 2 Dams) and put on weight soon rather than later. Thanks in advance ! |
I would take this boy to the vet as soon as possible. Thank you for caring for him. |
Oh thank goodness you rescued that poor baby. Poor little thing. I would take him in for a complete check-up, bloodwork and everything. Then Missing Link might be good to build his little body up. Ask the vet and then put him on a really good quality food. I hope and pray this baby has a good, forever home with you. Whoever did this to that baby should be punished. |
Brovo... try tripe and soft food to start. Joy |
I ditto the taking him to the vet. I've had a few malnurished Yorkies come my way. I started them with Chicken Breast, Rice and Carrots. They are very healthy now. I just boil the chicken and then add the carrots and stir in the cooked rice. I still use this at night for dinner with them, but I also free feed them dry kibble. I like the Chicken Soup for a dog lovers soul. It's holistic. Thanks for takinghim in. He may have died without you. |
God Bless you for taking this little one and saving him. Please keep us posted on his progress. |
Thank goodness you rescued that poor baby boy:( I agree with the others, take him into the vets for a good checkup. You will have him in good health in no time, with love, good food and vet care. |
I am so happy you rescued him, please take him to the vet. Prayers and hugs to you that he will be ok and thrive in his new home. |
vet if possible, if not order some very good vitamins, wholesome food, and possibly omegas for the coat, this all together should help the baby. I would check for parisites first as all this will be in vain if it has worms. I'd like to do the very same thing to the humans that hurt animals! If you tie one up and leave it hungry and for dead, you should be done that way as well. Sorry guys but I can't stand how animals are treated it gets my blood boiling! |
So proud you took this baby in |
Vet run as well cause he is goingto meed to be dewormed. He may not gain weight until you do deworm him. JL |
An open wound like that needs to be seen by a vet. It may need stitching and antibiotic treatment. I would say the dog has worms since it has had fleas and some time and fleas cause tapeworm. Don't wait. The dog must need it's shots anyway. All the vitamins in the world are not going to help a dog with worms. It could possibly have other types of worms and should have it's stool checked under a microscope. |
Awweee. How sad. An angel must have sent you to rescue him. I agree with everyone else... Vet asap. It's amazing how quickly these little guys will recover back to healthy with just a little TLC. :) |
So glad you rescued him! I would also take him to the vet. Then you can start his path to recovery knowing what he needs. |
You are an angel for saving his life!! |
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. |
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. |
:thumbup: 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! |

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. :animal-pa |
I bet he is so much happier with you! I'd love to see photos! |
I am glad to hear Alfie is doing so much better in your capable hands. |
So glad that you got this baby |
How is he doing? I would love to hear if he is doing better |
