We just got a plea for medical emergency, 6 months old Benji who is emaciated at only 10 pounds!
He was an owner surrender who has been lethergic & not eating well for a week.
He has also been vomiting. No one knows what is wrong!
He is being tested for possible leptospirosis & distemper.
His body temperature is very low & he’s currently on a bear hugger to try to warm him up.
This is VERY serious! Benji is en route to our ER 24/7 hodpital now.
What is wrong with people?! This sweet 6 month old puppy weighs only 10 pounds!!
Day 3: Benji says hello from our NYC vet. Still no underlying cause has been found for his horrible emaciated condition!
It’s really starting to look like Benji was just purposely starved!!!!!
Day 6: Benji was broke out of the hospital for the weekend!
We are beyond happy with the progress he has shown.
Go Benji Go! This is what a little love and care can lead to in just a short time!
Day 10: Never give up! Benji thanks you for caring!
Day 25: Kamilla & Benji met at the vet today & Benji has gained 2.5 pounds this week!
We still have not found anything wrong except starvation & we are hoping he’s over the hurdle,
& on his way to good health!
This little guy turned on the charm and won the hearts of everyone!!
Right now we pray he continues to get stronger and thrive!
Day 29: BENJI trying to make friends with one of his more fussy foster sisters,
his transformation has been amazing!
GO BENJI GO!!!
Day 38: Benji is doing amazing, gained over 3 pounds this week and blood tests are stable!
Day 42: More of “miracle to be alive” Benji’s adoption day! Happy tears all around!
Benji with his forever family!
Day 50: The miraculous transformation of Benji
