Curly Pugs of Summer - Update 8/26/10
Carly
and Mugsy are Pugs #38 and #39 on our intake list since June 1st ALONE.
Thank you to our loyal followers!
As we continue to say "yes" to Pugs who need us and stretch our
resources we lean on your generous donations more than ever!•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Late
on Friday night Curly Tail received a frantic email from a woman who
had just purchased two Pugs off of Craigslist. As she put it, she
and her family had been "taken on a very expensive ride."
They
had replied to an ad stating that the owner of two Pugs had no place to
live and needed to find a place for her two pugs immediately or else she
was going to leave them behind. The well intentioned purchaser received very misleading photos
of Mugsy and Carly. The
Craigslist seller and met her family with Carly and Mugsy in a parking lot. It was explained to us that "once she (the seller) got our money, she jumped in her car and took off."
The distraught email we received said this pair had to be moved
immediately because the new owner could clearly see they were in desperate need for major medical care and this was not what she was expecting. She was hoping to purchase 2 healthy pugs and was in for the shock of her life.
This
is a classic example of the dangers of purchasing pets from Craigslist!
Ads are misleading and you simply never know whom you are really
dealing with!
In addition to Carly's "skin issues" (at the time
thought to be mange), both dogs had "crust and green goo" coming out of
their eyes and it was suspected that Carly recently had a litter of
puppies. Both were infested with fleas and their nails were so long
they couldn't walk properly.
We
were able to comply with the very difficult 24 hr deadline that was set. We
arranged for immediate intake, transport and secure foster care. We're happy to report
that Mugsy and Carly have made it into Curly Care! They are in bad shape but they are safe and treatment began for the various medical within 24 hrs of intake. We have already spent almost $1700 in their care & we have not completed the surgeries yet.
Carly: 3 year old Carly was sadly in far worse shape than Mugsy. We are pleased that she does not have mange however, what was described as "sensitive skin" is actually a very serious skin
issue. This is the result of long time neglect & horrific living conditions. Carly's skin is literally peeling off with infection. She is covered in open sores & oozing wounds from infection. She has elephant skin covering her ears, stomach and limbs. Her whole body is swelled from inflammation and her ears & eyes are oozing with infection as well.
Curly Tail has already brought
her to our Vet, and her condition was so poor that it would have been to dangerous to spay at that appointment. After a skin scrape, blood work and other diagnostics, (on top of the basic vetting & vaccinations which she was overdue for), Carly was sent home home with antibiotics, medicated shampoos, and topical ointment to treat her skin and begin the healing process.
Both
dog still need to be altered & are not able to go in for surgery in their present condition. Mugsy too will need basic vetting
including rabies and distemper vaccines as well as heart worm and fecal
tests. He also has several growths on his body which will need to be removed and biopsied.
