Tracker Jack- the continuing digest of a PuppyMillrescue Chapter 4

Jack's breathing has been louder today and he has not had as much energy as yesterday. He does not rest well unless he is in my arms. I think he likes nothing better than to sleep in my lap, trusting me enough to watch over him, even with his belly side up. As you probably know this is a dogs most vulnerable position. An enemy could easily disembowel them if they caught them laying on their backs this way.



I have wondered how Tracker Jack ate at the puppy mill. Here I crush his medicine and put his drops in canned pumpkin, peanutbutter, Iams canned lamb and rice and other tidbits to make it tasty. I am adding Nutridrops also. It needs to be a certain consistancy in order for him to eat it with no teeth.


Tracker still is a little wobbley on his feet, especially on slick floors. Sometimes he would rather play laying down!

Tomorrow we return to the Veterinarian to see how his Pneumonia is and hopefully be able to plan his vaccinations, neuter, and get started on heartworm prevention.

I plan to give him a medicated bath in the morning. We won't know for another week if his skin has ringworm. His coat especially on his head, is starting to feel a lot thicker. The baking soda bath worked wonders on the puppy mill smell and it has not returned.
