These two are melting my heart <3

Thank God, you saved this puppy, AJ, I saved a kitten once in bad shape (was on a
sales call at this home), covered in fleas and one of many (two litters). Had tried to
get out of there without taking one but as I was leaving I stepped over her, we made
eye contact....I too, was haunted by the others left behind but had 3 long haired cats
and a Golden Retriever, all indoor so lots of cleaning hair, Hubby was mad enough!
We can't save them all and that is so difficult for us...but, we can save ONE and pray
all find loving homes.

Glad you found the colostrum, it will really help Zeke and so will Slippery Elm (you
might find at GNC or a Drug Emporium, especially now that he's vomiting too.

I am praying over y'all & have sympathy for what you're dealing with ;(

Yea it's very hard knowing you can't save em all I hate that feeling I have 4 dogs now 2 cats and 2 African greys and I'm fighting myself to not go try to save them lol I'm crazy hahahaha what can I say. It's hard because I know I have the financial means to and what if others don't :( I just gotta stop thinking about it lol then I'm like what if that's a character flaw that's why these pups are in this boat lolol I think I'm way over tired hahahahahaha ignore me I'm quite sure I'm delirious at this point.

Oh, they look so sweet together! Yeah, it is so sad to see those places where helpless animals are treated as biomaterial for making money. I don't even want to start with my stories about kennels in China, i saw several of them in my process of looking for a bulldog pup. I am still getting hysterical remembering poor animals, sick, kept in small cages all their lives sitting in their feces and starting not barking, but yelling when they see a human being. It felt like they we yelling please, please help! I really do hope there is a special place in hell for these breeders, where they will change roles with these animals.
Thanks God, you resqued this poor boy! Please keep us posted about his health progress! All the best to you and your cuties!

I will start off saying even I don't recommend anyone doing this.....however, because of zekes issues his diarrhea could not get any worse and my other bd zoey didn't have firm poop but not diarrhea either so it was a risk but only owners know their dogs so I went and bought fromm pork and peas and went against the slow transition and emptied the old bowl (I free feed) and filled with fromm. And to my surprise no diarrhea in any of my dogs as a matter of fact the opposite turning firm even my Lil boy zeke still has diarrhea but it is getting more solid by the poo lol I think by tomorrow he will have his first real poo and I cannot believe I'm saying this but I will dance when it happens hahahahaha the meds for the bacteria strip even the good from him so I actually found something I though was going to be good choice to supplement prebiotics and enzymes and boy was it an amazing option. I'll get a pic in case others want to try it.

Just reading this thread now! Zoey and Zeke are beautiful babies! Thank you so much for saving Zeke, he really is looking better in that last picture! I would take [MENTION=15310]helsonwheels[/MENTION] advice and consider waiting to get Zoey's cherry eye fixed if you are going to spay her. Continued healing and healthy growing thoughts for both of your guys :)
