Penny29 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Urgent Appeal from Phoenix Three days ago, an unidentified, year-old boy West Highland White terrier was found abandoned in the middle of a road in Périgueux by a Veterinary 'locum'.He is happy and lively in himself - affectionate and eating well....BUT (and here's the 'but'!), he has a chronic skin condition and a lot of missing hair.The Vet's a sweety, and doesn't want to see him put-down, but can't keep him for long. She is fully aware that he is totally unrehomeable through the French system in his present condition...........we are his last chance. We have just a short time to decide - a couple of days at most. If we give the 'green light','she will treat him against mange and all external parasites and pay for the analysis of a skin 'scrape', a skin biopsy and a blood-test to see if there are any hormonal anomalies, but the results may take a while to come through.In the meantime, he will need medicinal baths, possibly steroid/antibiotic skin creams and lots of TLC. The condition is NOT contageous, but at present it is impossible to say how long it will take for him to get better. PLEASE ...is there anyone prepared to take him on a temporary or long-term basis? Phoenix will pay for all his food, suppliments and medical needs, but we can't take him in straight away. All our foster homes are full to bursting and our regular carers unable to give him the time and attention he will need. If you feel you could help, we're just waiting with our fingers crossed to hear from you!......our phone number is 05 53 54 94 81 - and leave a message with your own number. Thanks xxSheelagh and Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
