Zoe is a young mommy with four 2 week old babies. Their
estimated date of birth is July 28th, 2003. Three are females
and one is a male puppy. The babies
seem to be nice, clean and fat. Mommy has done a great job.
Mommy has head to toe skin infections due most likely to the
many fleas on her. She has no hair on her elbows and tail where
she has large sores. The rest of her body has deep scratches,
sores, and wounds from chewing and scratching. She hasn't had
access to proper nutrition for a pregnant or nursing mommy and
is
extremely thin. She may also have a urinary tract infection.
She needs a lot of antibiotics, skin treatment, more flea treatment,
and medicated baths for her sores. She will also need to be spayed
when she's done nursing, so she never has to go through this
situation again. She also will need all of her vaccinations and
her puppies
all
need to be vaccinated and spayed/neutered.
All of them are on high protein puppy food (dry and canned)
Together this will amount to a significant sum of money. The
puppies will probably cost over $200.00 each after at least 7
weeks of care, vaccines, surgeries, and other medical and preventative
treatments. Mommy may cost even more with her more complex situations.
She is still needing to have her most basic medical preventative
care.
The entire family will hopefully be ready to go home after September
29th, but we are taking applications right now. You will be asked
to make an appointment to come see them, but those arrangements
will be made when they are at least 6 weeks old. Please do not
fill out an application if you are not very serious and willing
to wait for the family to be ready.
