My mom came this evening all shaken up and told me that she saw a little abandoned Malteser in a box near the street. She tried to take him in her arms (to take him home) but he bit her twice. We sat in the car and got back to the place she saw the pup. I took a flashlight with me cause it was dark already. The puppy seamed injured...both of his back feet don’t have hair from the hock down to the paw just row skin, there are also hairless spots on other parts of his body and he can’t stand on his back feet (although later I saw him get up and stand on one). I thought that he might have been hit by a car or something and we decided that we can’t just leave him there. As we took a plastic dog container with us, we managed to put him inside somehow and bring him to our home.
Mom called the Vet immediately and he came to examine the dog within an hour. What he told us shocked me even more. The puppy was not hit by a car - that is a good news...and the bad news is that he was nearly frozen to death. All that hairless places on his body are actually frostbitten places. It seams that the puppy was lost days ago and we had an extremely cold weather these days...down to minus 12 below zero. Apart from that he also has a pneumonia. The Vet really did the best he could...he gave him infusion and some additional shots and said he’ll come back in two days. I have no idea why so late...why not tomorrow. He also told us how to take care for that frozen places twice daily...and apart from that I guess all we can do is wait and see if the pup will pull through. Puppy is around five months old...and scared to death - pore little one
I just hope he won’t die [sigh]. I’ll post if there are any changes.
You are a great person you know!!!!
