Linda, You are an Amazing person. When I spoke with you yesterday just the excitement in your voice. Not everyone would pick up a dog that had an infection like that and give him a bath to soothe his discomforts, a warm bed and a nice meal. I love the way you see something special in everyone of the Yorkies. I know that Sonny will have a great place until he heals. Please give us weekly updates and pics. I'm so glad he will be staying with a Vet. Please check out your timeline. Posted 9-30 and in your arms 10-03....WOW...

Most rescuers will do what I do...it is just that these guys are difficult for the shelters to adopt out. Many people are afraid of what they might be getting into...and it is understandable.
I took him to Angleton today. I felt just awful because he once again put his paws around my neck and clung to me. I hated to leave him but he is in excellent hands. He is being boarded at the vet until he can be seen and evaluated. They do boarding in addition to being a vet and have a lovely facility. He is in a huge run all to himself with a fleece bed and blanket that I left for him and some squeaky toys (although he did not seem to understand what they were...poor guy). He will most likely be in her home before the end of the week.
I will be sure to post updates on him. I always get updates on pups I take to her...she is a wonderful person and is as careful about placing them as I am. The first and most important thing is the people must have stellar vet references! I am still not sure if he will be a YHR pup or not. I will also update on that.
Oh...and Flopsy Mopsy...I think she is going to leave his name as Sonny!

As for the timeline, it was the easiest transport I have ever been involved in...it was meant to be!!

LadyJane and all the rescuers.
A very warm thank you for all the hard work and hours you folks are doing. We are fostering, with a very strong adoption option

, another rescue that we sprung from the local shelter a month ago 9/4. Palm Bay PD found her covered w/fleas and thin as a rail, and not spayed at around 5yo according to the microchip info. Not reg either. BYB? Zoey will make 3 rescues.
Again my sincerest thanks for all the volunteer work done.

You are bad but I told Lin this morning if this poor little guy's hair doesn't grow back it is better if he stays in a warm place..Colorado is toooooo cold. Plus he seemed to really like kids so here is a luvbug that would be perfect for a family...not a single old crow...

BonBon · 10-05-2009, 04:41 AM

Linda, I've been offline this weekend and just rushed back on here to check on Sonny. I love his pictures - he looks like he has such personality. I'm thrilled he's finally in a safe, loving place. When will you know if he's going to be a YHR pup? After his vet exam today? It sounds like he's going to have a lot of supporters wanting to help!

luvfla · 10-05-2009, 04:46 AM

OK...I gotta ask...why wouldn't he be a YHR pup?

ladyjane · 10-05-2009, 05:04 AM

If he is not going to require a lot of vetting, she is going to take care of him and place her himself. She is an independent rescuer.
If he stays with her, he will not be in need of donations.
We offered to take him into YHR if he is going to need extensive veterinary care.

luvfla · 10-05-2009, 05:14 AM

I was kinda thinking that. Wierd but...I hope he's not sick enough!

So do I! First, because he has been through enough and secondly, YHR does not need any more bills!
Just did not want to dump a big problem on her. She is always there as a back up and does wonderful work!

I should know more today. I really think he is going to be ok. His skin actually looked better yesterday when I took him down there.
I had bathed him in medicated shampoo and gotten all of the crud off of him. I also sprayed his skin with Gentacyn and it seemed to dry it up a bit. I am SO hopeful this is nothing major...and also praying he will not come up heartworm positive.
I will update as soon as I know more.

ladyjane · 10-05-2009, 09:16 AM

Sonny update!

Thankfully, he is heartworm negative and also does not have mange. (I did not think he did, but you never know for sure until a skin scraping is done.)

The vet thinks it is either hypothyroidism or possibly Cushings. We will know more in a couple of days when the lab results are in.

I did not hear anything about his skin. As I said yesterday, it did look better ...so it just may not be a real issue. I am getting short text messages from her, so will probably know more later when we talk.

This is amazing. Things are really working out for this little guy. I'm not very familiar with Cushings, but hypothyroidism is easy & fairly inexpensive to treat so I'll say a prayer. Linda, thanks for sharing these happy updates!
