We were contacted a few days ago (saturday) by a friend who is a great dane breeder...We got Amira from her and we stayed in touch..So she contacted us and asked us if we can help her with a great dane puppy..
So, what's the story, right?
The pup comes from a litter of very beautiful show dogs...But the owners didn't take care of him like they supposed to. And I don't know why. This friend of mine I know her, she tells every future owner of her dogs how to take care of them, how to feed them...So, they knew everything, but they still didn't give him treatment (you know that, generally, large breeds when they are young they must follow a treatment so that they will grow up with strong bones and ligaments)..I don't know what happend.
So she asked us to take the pup in and give him the prescribed treatment and she comes once in a while to see him and give him some shots with calcium.
I'm so sad. He is such a smart boy and very good behaved for a pup of 4 months old.
The ex owners of the dog..just called her last week and told her that the pup is crippled and that she gave them a sick dog and they want their money back (I believe that if there wasn't money envolved, they wouldn't have contacted and given the dog back). And they told her this after 2 months after they got the dog. Now she is upset because she did gave them a perfectly healthy pup but they were so ignorante that the dog was left by himself, without proper caring...
He also had an operation on his front right paw, the elbow, it had a swelling. It appears at most of the large breeds because of the heavy body the elbows support when they are laying down. But the swelling disappears in time. It doesn't have to be operated on. So they took him to the vet and now he has a much bigger swelling...
And we discovered other bad things at the dog: he is a little skinny, he isn't well socialized, when we take him outside for his needs he doesn't want to stay longer and he wants back in the house quickly...I hope he recovers. He is so beautiful, really.
Here are some pictures
Here he is from the back, what do you think?
