Teebs Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Friday morning I got to work about 8am and found this little guy taped in a box (meat box, was covered in blood, so i was a little scared at what i was going to find when i opened it: They had thrown him in with a can of food and it was spread all over him and he stuck of it I have called him Tip He got checked out by a vet nurse who works across the road and put into isolation. He was very happy and alert and barking at us to have a play, first thing we did was worm him. He wouldnt eat at all but was drinking a lot (had to take his water off him) By the end of friday afternoon he had started to poo a little blood, I rung the vet who said to keep an eye on him and see how he goes over night, to call if he goes down hill fast, that it could be just the worms that were causing the blood (it wasnt lots of blood at that stage) He came and stayed at my house last night (yes, in isolation from my guys) and still wasnt eating, by the morning he was still very happy and alert, and barking for me to play with him, but had a lot more blood in his poo. He is now at the vets on a drip, I have handed all control over to the vet. I told her if it is just a bug and he is going to be ok to fix him, if it is something bad to PTS, to do what she thinks is right. She said she was confused about it as he is very happy still, just not eating and has the blood in his poo, so he was put on a drip, giving antibiotics and wait. I did tell her to ring me at anytime if he got worse or had to be PTS if she could, i havent had a phone call yet so really hoping he pulled through and is going to be ok. Woke up a few hours ago and cant get back to sleep. God I hate people He is such a sweet little dog and they just left him, it has been freezing here and god only knows how long he was waiting in that box for us to get to work RSPCA know about him and are happy for me to keep him if he pulls through, he is too sick to go in there anyways. If he pulls through he will be chipped, vaccinated and desexed before i start finding him a home. So i need all fingers and paws crossed that little Tip made it through the night and will be ok Edited May 16, 2011 by Teebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Oh, poor little guy Crossing all fingers and paws down here for Tip! Sometimes people suck How could they just dump him in a box like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 I know I have been in the worse mood the last two days. I just think of everything that could have happened, thursday nights are pretty big in town and work is near some pubs, i keep seeing someone coming past drunk and seeing abox and playing kick or something without knowing what was in it... or him freezing over night. I did a bit of rescue in WA and it broke my heart, this has done that again and i really admire those who see this kind of thing every day and who can still get up and do more to help. I dont think i would be that strong to do it day in day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elise+Hudson Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Did they parvo test the little guy? I am hoping for you that its not parvo! He is absolutely gorgeous, what a fantastic thing you are doing for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 ok, not Parvo Vet said it is some kind of virus, at this stage he is looking better and has been given another 24 hours, he keeps walking over to his food bowl and walking off again so she is going to get him on just milk for now and hope he keeps it down. He isnt pooing as much blood as he was yesterday. The vets have all fallen in love with him and are calling him King - said he keeps finding the highest point of his bedding to sit on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elise+Hudson Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 What fantastic news about the parvo test! He may have coronavirus perhaps, which still knocks them a little, but not anything like parvo. He is just so adorable.. I can see why so many people want to bring him home. I struggle with this at work all the time when I see the rspca animals come through, or the strays =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
