CRIPPLED BOXER BABY NEEDS HELP!!!! Louisiana

PLEASE SEND TO ALL THE BOXER RESCUES YOU KNOW!!!

I just pulled a small white boxer from local animal control.  His back legs are crippled.  He has some hip dysphasia but other than that they is nothing physically wrong with them.  He can move them and they paddle up and down when you pick him up.  The problem is neurological.  His brain is just not firing the right signals off to the legs to make them work properly. 

He is very skinny and a little food aggressive which makes me believe that he had to fight for food among his siblings.  But he is a very loving and happy pup otherwise.  He is probably around 10 weeks old and full of urine burns from laying in his own urine.  The baby can lead a very happy life in a wheelchair. 

Please send this to all the boxer rescue groups that you know and let's see if we can get some help for this boy.  I am not financially able (nor do I have the required space) to care for this sweetheart as he needs to be.  Thanks.

Baby, Paralyzed Terrier Type has been rescued!!

 

 

Good news! 
A wonderful woman who volunteers with Rat Bone (a terrier rescue) is going to be taking Baby.  She has other cart dogs, and her home is equipped with ramps etc. for them.

Thanks for the wonderful email, cross-postings etc., and support for Baby. 

Please pass the good news along!!

Sincerely,
Denise

 

 

YOUNG TERRIER TYPE With PARALYZED LEGS!! - Richmond, IN. - THEY WILL KILL BABY!! -

Anyone interested in adopting or taking Baby in for rescue can email me, Denise Harrington, at: deniseharr1@insightbb.com  ( at  insightbb.com );
Phone: (765) 939-7051 or (765) 277-1826. 

 

The vet info for Baby is that she was treated and diagnosed by TL:C Pet Hospital in Richmond, IN (765) 973-8703.   The treating vet is Dr. Jeff Logue.


Baby is a 1-yr-old female Terrier type.  She belongs to a very elderly woman on disability.  Baby was born with spinaLbifida.   As a result, she is completely paralyzed in her back legs, and is incontinent (she wears doggy diapers which she does well with).

 

 
Baby was brought to my attention a few months ago by the people from whom her owner is renting a room.  After talking with the owner and finding out about Baby's condition, I personally donated a $300 cart for Baby that she uses to wheel herself around the floor.  She has adapted very well to the cart and has no mobility problems when in it.  

 

 
Unfortunately, Baby can no longer live with her owner, who is now starting to develop dementia, and is no longer able to care for her.  She forgets to change Baby's diapers, and as a result, Baby suffers from terrible urine burns and sores on her stomach and legs.  The people with whom the owner lives, along with animal control, have contacted me and have asked me to try and place Baby with a different home.  If I cannot do so, Baby will have to be euthanized.
 
While I understand that in certain situations, a dog's medical condition can warrant euthanization, this is not the case.  Baby is one of the happiest, friendliest, most loving & sweet dogs I have ever met.  She has no clue that she isn't "normal."  If she is out of the cart, she tries to jump up to greet you and will scoot herself on her diaper across the floor to meet you.  In the cart, she wheels around in circles to have you play with her.  Baby is not food aggressive, is good with children of all ages, and loves other dogs and cats.

 

 
Given Baby's young age and exceptional personality, I believe that she could live an extremely happy and healthy life with someone understanding of her special needs.

Her case is truly sad in that when I visited her last night to take the pictures, you could see the open sores on her legs and stomach.  I know she has no hair left because of the urine burns.  I am hoping to get her out of the situation as soon as possible so I would appreciate any help that you can give.

SPECIAL NEEDS KITTENS! Visually Impaired Need Homes

From: Gail Whelan gailwhelan@companionanimalnetwork.org (companionanimalnetwork.org)

 

 

DARK TABBY:  Murphy

 

A very good friend, Caren Williams, rescued these kittens (all males)and has been nurturing them and working on their socialization. 

They were abandoned at approx. 4 weeks of age and were diagnosed with a severe viral infection that affected their eyes. 

Caren has paid for the necessary surgery on each kitten to allow them to regain their sight.

 

 

LIGHT TABBY:  Wheatley

 

They are still fearful of people and will need someone with an abundance of love and some patience.

 

 

LIGHT SIAMESE:  Joshua

 

The reason they are "special needs" is that they can NEVER be outside again.  Because of the surgery to their eyes, they can NEVER handle the harsh light outside.  They will always have to live indoors. These are precious, sweet babies.  If you know anyone that might be interested in adopting one or two of them, please contact Caren Williams at 214.679.7577.

beautiful disabled kittens possibly due for euthanasia

Teeny and Spazzy the "seal" kitties
Cat
Tabby Mix

 

Contact Person: ololo_truthseekr@yahoo.com (yahoo.com)

Size: kittens
Age: born May 4, 2007
Gender: a male and a female
ID:
Teeny: female, will be spayed if adopted
Spazzy: male, will be spayed if adopted
housetrained
dewormed, will be current on vaccinations if adopted

 

Teeny and Spazzy both have light grey tabby coats. Both have
beautiful periwinkle hazel eyes (hazel eyes with blue-grey instead of
green, awesome!)

Notes: I hesitate to call these cats "special needs": they are
active, happy and seemingly unaware of their disability. These
littermates were born without functioning "elbows" on their hind legs
and weak "wrist" joints on those same limbs. I call them "seal
kitties" because the limited use of their hind legs causes them to
hump across the ground similar to a seal. I personally think it's
kinda cute but would NEVER breed for this trait- it's a birth defect.

 

These cats are hand raised and VERY sweet. According to their vet the
condition of their legs could bring on arthritis later in life. We
watch them closely as they grow for signs of sores from using their
legs differently but so far the fur hasn't even rubbed off. They are
very active and even able to use the litterbox usually without
soiling on themselves.

 

Teeny and Spazzy will never be able to jump up on counters, though
there is no doubt in my mind that Spazzy could climb to the top of
drapes if he put his mind to it- he already makes it on the couch,
chairs and top of the three foot hight cat tree. Teeny is more of a
daydreamer, and turns to putty in your hands. Each had no problem
keeping up with the other kittens in the litter.

 

Attempts have been made to brace their legs into a more stable,
normal position. Teeny is responding well to her `physical therapy',
and may wind up using the braces. Spazzy's legs are different: they
have bones growing curved and his haunches aren't as strong. I'm
still working on developing a brace that will work for him. They move
fine as they are, and bracing will not improve the situation but only
act as a crutch and serve to make them look more normal. Bracing also
presents problems dealing with circulation and different posture
problems that could result in further complications. Although it may
be difficult for some people to watch them move around, they are
happy cats and prefer to do it on their own.

 

Our wish is that Teeny and Spazzy be adopted into the same household.
We are located in Sandpoint, Idaho. I've posted pictures of them in
this groups Yahoo! Groups Photos.

~thanks for your concern :)

Do you know what their eye infection was?  Is the infection completely cured?  Did they lose eye volume, do their eyelids keep their eyes clean of debris?  Is there any chance they will need surgery?  How are their sinus ducts?  Are they completely blind or visually impaired?  Would you be willing to have them neutered for a better chance of placement?  Would you allow them and their photos to be crossposted.  I usually put special needs pets on my sites http://handipets.com and on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/handipets Care2 http://www.care2.com/handipets  on Yahoo http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/handipets/ and on Blogger http://handipets.blogspot.com/  as well as providing email circulation through Feedburner http://feeds.feedburner.com/handipets/blogspot

Meriden, CT: kitty deliberately burned in face by acid now needs foster or forever home

Swain Please Help!

Domestic Short Hair-black Mix

 

Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
ID:
Notes:
It was late one evening when our local animal control office got a call about an injured cat. Upon response they found a very disturbing site. There lay a cat, appearing to be in shock from pain. One eye was swollen to nearly twice its normal size and was covered by a black what appeared to be scab, and the surrounding tissue area of the eye was red and inflamed. With care and caution the removed the cat from the property and rushed him to the vet.
What was found after his vet visit is enough to break the strongest of hearts. He started to become more conscious as they arrived at the vet and then came the horrific moans and wails, the same noises that brought attention to him originally when found out in a residents back yard. They were bone chilling and you could almost feel the pain he was projecting in his voice. The vet quickly sedated the cat to put him at ease and make examination easier and pain free.

 

The vet examined the eye, they removed the black mass over where the eye was. This is when they found how badly damaged the eye was and had no choice but to remove it. The cause for this horrific damage, the vet said it appeared that a very acidic substance was poured over the cats face, leaving it to literally burn the eye and damage tissue around the eye. What makes this worse is that it is almost impossible for this to be an accident, because of the location of the burn and the severity of the injuring they are almost certain that this was a deliberate act of cruelty.
Poor Swain he was already neutered, he might have been someone's outdoor cat, or may have been simply let loose when his owners no longer wanted him or could no longer care for him. Not only was he subject to now care for himself but he was subject to the cruel heartless people who thought subjecting an Innocent cat to such mercifulness pain and suffering was acceptable.
Its been a long recovery for Swain but he has healed since the surgery and is learning to trust people again. He needs a calm home that will give him time to adjust, he does like to be held and sit in your lap but only once he knows you, he can still be very sensitive about people touching his face and head but with time and love this is an obstacle he will surly conquer!
To all cat owners out there please take note. Swain did not ask for this, he did not ask to be let outside, whether he was abandoned, lost, or just an outdoor cat. Swain did not ask for the pain he had to deal with or the other cruel aspects of the outdoor world like cars, wild animals, dogs, lack of food and cruel heartless humans. All Swain wanted was a home the loved him, cared about his well being and looked out for home. Please don't let your domesticated cat outside, the world can be very cruel in too many aspects, please keep your cats inside and help prevent the suffering of other Innocent creatures.
