Eddy: victim of the ticks

One day Aris came to visit Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and had a tiny little puppy with her. She had stopped at a residence and a litter of feral puppies roamed in the yard. They all ran, except little Eddy who was too weak and he fell down.
 
Eddy was very hungry on arrival, but could not hold down the food. After the first day and no stool, he was given laxatone and soft foods and we were so happy to finally see a stool in his cage. We feared an obstruction which would have been really bad news for this little rundown pup. We were grateful to send him to ACT V within two days.

Later Aris returned with one more littermate she was able to catch who is very frightened. This little pup is waiting to go to ACT V to join his brother on Saturday, May 31st. We are so thankful that Aris was able to save 2 of the 4 little feral pups.

UPDATE FROM ACT V:
This is the pup who came in last night with the kittens. His name is Eddy and he was pretty sick. He spent the night in the hospital receiving IV fluids for severe dehydration and had countless deer ticks plucked from around his eye. Gross! Poor guy!


ANOTHER UPDATE FROM ACT V:
Eddy is doing MUCH better...!
When he was in the ICU, we took a picture of the near hundreds of ticks they removed from his tiny body. He was anemic, dehydrated and looking a little punk in the "during" picture and now, he has settled into his foster home, where he's hanging out with a couple of Pugs and enjoying a clean yard (along with his clean body!)


Thank you Sandi Kettler Johnson and Affiliated Emergency Veterinary Service for taking him under your wing. You're the best!!
