you know you wanted them.

so this is cash.

is he a jrt or not?

he's stable on iv fluids with dex right now. his blood glucose was 41 when he came in, but it came up fine. he's eating a/d like a champ. when he came in, he had a painful belly and an extremely painful and swollen right wrist (you can see in the pictures). he screams his head off if you get anywhere near it. he had some pain meds and he's on antibiotics, but we're not sure what's going on. xrays of his belly and his leg were pretty non-remarkable.

he's not officially mine yet- the owner has not come in to sign the paperwork, but if the owner suddenly changes his mind and comes up with the money to pay for his care, more power to him. i don't want this puppy. i just don't want him to die.

(ok i kind of want him and i'm kind of falling for him, but i really really can't keep him and i know that.)

at this point, if he's deemed jrt by knowledgeable internet people, i'm going to contact a rescue. they'd do a lot better job of finding him an appropriate home than i would, i think. they know this breed and i don't, other than to know they need above-average owners.

He's adorable! I don't know much about JRTs, but he looks like one to me. Good luck with him... poor pup.

Oh he's cute...I hope something comes through for him. I can totally sympathize with both sides...wanting to save him but not wanting to have him.

When i found Mary's mommy and her two litter mates had been seperated from the mama at the kennels, they were about in that stage. So dehydrated that when you pinched the skin it just stayed up...and you could hear their lungs sticky together as they tried to breathe. One of them had his leg swell up like that and i know exactly what you mean by scream. The vet tried everything for him...and kept trying long after i was praying he would just stop. THat pup didn't make it, but the other two did. I hope the angels bless you thrice over for caring for such a wisp of a puppy. Good vibes and good energies and many tiny puppy prayers for a complete recovery.
