Min Pin Healed from Deer Attack and has new little brother
Rocky (the blind Min Pin) who was attacked by a deer in our fenced back yard(along with his little Chihuahua sister, Honey who died from the injuries in the attack) is all healed up. He kept searching for Honey.
A month after the attack, something told me to look at Craigslist and rescues for a Chihuahua. Came upon a 9 week old Chihuahua puppy (male) and my heart went this is the one you need to get.
This was the story:
He was bought as a birthday present for a 4 year. There was also a 8 month old boy, who they claimed was allergic to the pup.:R(didn't buy that excuse, was more like she was over whelmed) No records of a vet visit or shots. We said we would take him and be his forever home. We got him home and the poor little thing had diarrhea (was like turning on a water faucet). Did the hydration test on him and sure enough his skin didn't go back, weighed him and he was 2.25 pounds. Soaked his food with pedialite,added a tablespoon of pumpkin,and put pedialite in a bowl for him. Got him into the vet. She thought he had worms, so he got wormed and started his shots. Sent a fecal to the lab, came back the next day. He had Coccidia, he was the on med for 5 days. We put the Min Pins on the med also as a prevention. Anytime he whimpered, Rocky was right there checking him out and giving him tender licks and nuzzles. Last month he weighed in at 3.4 pounds.
He will be 4 months old on the 17th. Happy, healthy full of life. His name is Scrappy of course I call him Scrappy Do
