URGENT NEED! CHRISTMAS CHEER - Emergency Ruptured eye/Mange/Neglect Puppy Surgical Care - Vet Bill 11 - 24 - 09 PM
Ginger from Fort Worth called me to come and pick up a poor little owner surrender puppy
today. Seems the parents breed Bostons. They took this one cause he was in sad shape and
then decided they didn't want to deal with him. So what do they do? Take him to the shelter,
of course. They told the shelter that they had dipped him and were caring for him. Caring
for him??? UMMM I believe that like I believe i am a supermodel. NOT!!! Just look at this
baby!!! For him to get in this sad a shape this young, no one did ANYTHING for him even
before he was born. ARRRGGHHH!!!
![]() He has demodex bad as you can see. Thank God, there were no sarcoptic mites showing on the scrape. I held him and never got the itchies other than in my mind like I do when they have fleas and ticks. There were no bumps on the arms like sarcopts does to me. He has a very bad case of demodex mites showing up on the scrape. He is too little for me to give him ivermectin orally as he only weighs 1.7 lbs, so I have to bathe him and dip him with lyme sulpher dip once a week and blot his little face with a cotton ball soaked in the dip to keep it out of his eyes. I am to put Vaseline or his medicine ointment in his eyes before doing that and it will help keep the dip out of his eyes if it runs and he has it all over his sweet little head. Poor lil guy. Dr. Cindy says Christmas's little eye is ruptured in the middle. She says his eye fluids have already oozed out and I am to put the oinment in there regularly. He is in too bad a shape right now for us to do surgery on his little eye. The ointment will help keep it from hurting too bad. He has wormy belly and is very scrawny as you can see in the pix if you look close at his arms and his back legs. His little hips and spine are sticking out too. Looks like one of those children they show on the TV that have the huge belly and the bones everywhere else.
![]() Dr. Cindy gave me some antibiotics to give to him too so we are medicating him as much as we can to deal with his issues. As soon as we get him in good enough shape, we will deal with the eye, but gotta get him better. She didn't think he would survive the anesthesia if she tried to do anything to his eye today. She said he would be a pretty little guy if he survives this ordeal. We did give him his first set of shots today as well as worming him as there is no telling what the little guy has been exposed to. Ginger at the shelter had him in the quarantine room trying to keep his exposure to the nasties to a minimum. Please pray that our little Christmas makes it and we can get him fixed up. This tiny fellow is gonna need all the help he can get. We named him Christmas Cheer because he needed a happy name as even as bad a shape as he is in, he seems to be a happy little guy. Did you see him giving me a kiss? 822 N. Grand Avenue GAINESVILLE, TX 76240 Please Make a note it is for ABTR's Christmas Cheer! P.O. Box 525 Sanger TX 76266

![]() As always, ABTR appreciates your continued support of our rescue efforts. Without your
generosity and support, we could not have helped as many dogs as we have over the years. :) Thank
you so very much.
Wanda We at American Boston Terrier Rescue have no ongoing sponsers,
subsidies,
grants or other steady supporter paying for the vetting care of the rescue
dogs. All vet bills, dog food and anything else the dogs need are
paid for from donations, adoption donations and my own pocketbook. Any
Donations are always appreciated.
ABTR is very grateful for the generous show of support for this little baby boy.
Your prayers are so appreciated as well as the donations for her vet care. All donations raised
in excess of Christmas Cheer's expenses will be used for the care of
the many other dogs in our rescue
program such as the older dogs such as Andes, Gerties, Peeps,
Old Fitzgerald, and Mr. Magoo who will probalby never be adopted, but still need our love, vet care,
dog food and Prayers. Thank you again for your donations and support.
