On December 16th, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue got a call from a family that a little brown chihuahua had been injured and could no longer walk. He had been injured 4 days ago and they requested that we come and get him, as they no longer wanted him as they could not get him medical care.
The RLRR van responded and went to Ponemah to get the little guy. Quinn sat on his haunches and did not walk at all since his injury. We took the little guy to the Clearwater Vet and X-rayed his legs and back and found no broken bones, only a suspicious swelling on the neck area. Quinn was on prednisone for 7 days at RLRR shelter in the cathouse. Soon Quinn was up and wobbling around, and we feared that his injury was permanent.
Dr. Vickie of Act V responded to our request and Quinn was on his way to the metro and Act V for the help he needed.
Quinn came to mind yesterday, and we wondered how he ever turned out. Much to my surprise, I saw a video of Quinn with his foster mom Diane, and he is walking and playing.
Thank you Dr. Vickie, Act V, and Diane for this great update- It made our day!!

This makes me think, Dee Dee, that the newspaper should probably run an article again about how people should really think about it before they get a dog. We were having a discussion here about Quinn and are wondering if he was either kicked or (this happened with one of my childhood friends) had a door closed on his neck. We're wondering if there are children and small children in the home. Part of me thinks, "That won't do any good; the ones who should care still won't" - but maybe we just need to keep running articles like that until it sinks in. Another good article would be, "Bring your short-hair dog breeds into the house on cold winter nights!"
