Benji had no appetite when we brought her home... she had bad teeth and an abscess... once that was taken care of she was off and running as far as eating was concerned....

Hi Valerie, Gigi was the same way when I first got her. I thought that maybe she was a lot older because she was so laid back and no umph at all. Once she got those teeth out, she was like a different dog. Just goes to show how much rotten teeth can really affect a dog.            -------Original Message-------   From: Valerie Mockett Date: 3/3/2011 4:31:27 PM To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Rescued a baby yesterday!           Thank you for saving this little one.   My little Lola looks almost the same.  She was also a rescues.. She was on concrete with only a hand towel... She was so scared It was also cold and raining. When I brought her home not much of a personality. My boyfriend and I thought she was " slow".  But come to find out she had a very bad tooth and infection in her mouth. After the tooth was pulled she was a new dog the next day. I now love her sooo much. I'm very lucky.  valerie --- On Thu, 3/3/11, Beth Michl <classy1r...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Beth Michl <classy1r...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Rescued a baby yesterday!

Stuff toy and the radio playing softly for her. I think she may have thought she went to dogie heaven! Animal control only provided cold wet cement dog run with one small hammock looking thing, but all of them in the kennel could not fit on it. Just so terrible.. --- On Thu, 3/3/11, mj turner <zzmaryj...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: mj turner <zzmaryj...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Rescued a baby yesterday!

I have been talking with a rescue group member, and they needed someone to pull a dog from the city of San Bernardino Animal control. It was a Female Papillon, well I hadn't been there in years, and I know why. I had to turn around an go to my car. I started crying when I saw the dogs all stuffed in cold wet cement dog runs. There was a tiny Chi that was pulling hard at my heart. I had them pull her too. I delivered the Pap, but am now fostering the Chi. She is skin and bones, she probably weighs 2lbs, but should be at least 3lbs. She is eating, but has diarrhea. I gave her some pumpkin in her food this morning, What else can I give her? They didn't give her shots, paper work says to fearful and would try to bite. She has not tried to bite me.. If you saw the pen she was in with these 4 or five other bigger dogs I would have bitten anyone too.. So far she is a sweet heart, she is food aggresive, with my dogs, not me. I can't blame her her ribs are all showing and her back bone is too a long with her tail bones.. What should I be giving her to get her weight back up? Also should I wait to get her shots? or do it now? I may have a home lined up for her too.. Thanks everyone.. Beth
