Meet Baby Felix!
I had no idea this guy was going to be so tiny, only weighing 1 lb.
I paid a transporter to get him to me ASAP from the shelter in the valley (he was an owner surrender),
and was shocked when he arrived.
He has some bad mange going on , a belly full of intestinal worms,
and the deformities in his legs are from malnutrition.
This poor has not been properly taken care of in his short life.
It is a result of an at risk immune system having weakened ligaments and Muscles.
It will take time for strengthen them.
With good nutrition, supplements, physical therapy, and the right medicine he should be a whole new puppy in a few weeks.
even with the inability to fully walk- he loves to eat, and chew on my fingers.
No baby should ever be in this condition. Heartbreaking!
I just can’t believe how tiny he is !
Your body is so malnourished and has started to fail you.
Day 1
Day 3: Here is your reason to smile today. SMALL BUT MIGHTY! BABY FELIX
Baby Felix at the night their resilience and capability to live in the present is something I envy.
Day 4: Not a care in the world Baby Felix had a vet appt today and besides the medical issues we were already aware of, everything else is okay.
No heart murmur , which can be common in these tiny little things!
Antibiotics, good nutrition, vitamins , and building strength is all this boy needs!
Day 6: The mornings are best for his legs because they’re well-rested!
Little improvements can go a long way, with each day he will gain strength.
Day 7: Look at Baby Felix’s front leg improvement ! It usually strengthens one leg at a time.
Day 9: Baby Felix is quite the character Just goes to show you, dogs live in the “moment”.
Just 9 days ago, he was dumped in a shelter because of his medical issues from his owners lack of proper care.
Now , he obviously doesn’t have a care in the world.
Day 15: Baby Felix’s first time playing! (Playmate is Layne)
Day 18: Felix vs. Jonah (1.12 lbs & 9 lbs)
Day 20: Good morning from Baby Felix. It’s amazing what changes can be made from providing the body with what it needs!
Felix did not require splints or leg braces , I provided him with what his body would need to strengthen and let him do the work.
I’ve also never seen such a tiny thing be just a huge bottomless pit for food!
Felix is going to show that toy who is boss!
Day 32: Felix the Dinosaur will be available for adoption now. I can’t believe he’s already grown up so much!
Day 60: That tiny 1 lb malnourished, mangey pup that was so bow legged he had to walk on his elbows?
At day 80: He has been adopted by a family who now has three Jamie's Animal Rescue babies.
We are very happy for you Felix, and miss you so much. You deserve a happy life forever. Thanks all!
