Update on Rottweiler in need of intervention: :heart:
I am sorry this took so long. I have been getting sick again (Lyme disease: oh the joy!).
Anyway, his name is (was) Conan. I call him my little KonaBean. I’m unsure of his age, maybe 5-6 years.
He is in my care, at my house. After the first posting about him, I got a call that the “owner” was going to slice his throat! I went out immediately and took him with no problem from him, Kona OR owner.
So…… he is mine, I guess. He is extremely sweet, except about food, but he’s learning. My land lord knows I have one rottie, Hannah, who is 10 yrs old and since Kona doesn’t move more than 6 ft at a time, she has never seen them together and assumes they are the same dog. Yes, she would have a fit!
Kona has massive upper body strength due to having to pull/drag his lower body around. He DOES get up on his back legs for short jaunts to the yard, etc.
And his back legs fly sideways/splay out when he walks. It doesn’t Look like hip displasia,
But I’m not a vet. I wish I could get some X-rays and see what’s wrong. Maybe he does need a wheelchair, I don’t know. I just know he would like to go with me some times, but can’t.
I am on a fixed income, so I guess what I’m begging for is DOG FOOD. I also have 2 elder rescue cats with my 2 and the strays. I’ve always fed Sensible Choice, but will settle for anything right now. I feel a little overwhelmed.
I’m also begging for vet care. (Paula, I left a message, maybe it got lost or???)
My Phone # is 707- 256-8990. I’m only posting for the animals. Please don’t abuse it. Thank You. I think most of you are caring souls. I have an advocate’s soul, but no energy, so I try to do what I Can. Most of it “falls on my lap”. When that happens, I know it was meant to be. What do you do? Deal with it!
My health has to take a back seat right now. I’ve been through Lyme disease hell for 16 years. Aside from the pain & fatigue, I think these animals need me more right now. That’s my calling.
Blessed Be and God Bless You All,
Laure
