Your husband and you & your family are angels. Thank you so much for helping this poor fella. I wonder if he got hit by a car? Please keep us posted. I hope he'll be okay and I can't wait to see pictures.

I wonder if he got hit by a car?

I was thinking that too...hopefully it's nothing too serious though! Keep us posted! I'm hoping you find his owners!

How nice that he not only saw Jed, but rescued him, and the whole family has gotten involved with caring for him. Hopefully there's nothing too badly wrong, and you'll be able to find out where his home is!

Ok just got back from the vets, two vets checked him out, they are fantastic those girls there, so kind and caring and all done for free too, well Jed is about ten years old, they really are not 100 per cent sure what is wrong with him, one side is way more tender than the other, and his paws are pretty worn, so he has been walking quite a bit, they think he probably has arthritis and has walked for ages and that is why he has inflammation, do not seem to think he has been hit by a car, he was so good, although in obvious pain, he did however produce two lovely pees all over the floor, lol, i had not seen him go so was worried about that, well no longer everything functioning in that department, vet examined him internally, said a bit of inflammation but nothing to worry about.

So the plan is to have six days of Rimadyl and see how he goes and then take it from there, my girlfriend and i also went halfs in a bag of special food for mobility for him which the vet suggested would be excellent for him, he is pretty skinny only weighing 18kgs,he is now sleeping peacefully in the caravan, his executive kennel and without further adue here is Jed, isn't he sweet? any ideas what he is, vets were not sure on his breed., he should now be alot happier having some pain relief as well.

I have advertised in the paper and also left details at the SPCA, the cat shelter that helped me out last year with all the cat problems has a dog shelter too, rang her and she said if i have no luck finding his owners or rehoming him to give her a ring and she will see what she can do, so that is hopeful, he was not micro-chipped or had a collar, but we got him one and a lead, so when he is able i can give him a short walk, he is to be rested as much as possible for now.

Heres another pic of Jed, he certainly has bonded with me already, at the vets i moved out of his sight and he started whining , so cute.

[buttercup132]

not sure what he is a bitzer i imagine, maybe some huntaway in him who knows

I dont know what you mean by them
But by looking at the pictures he looks like a German Shepard mix , I'm thinking but I dont know where he got that white from. Maybe lab ...I'm sure another PT will help

I'm glad you guys saved him
His dewclaws look like they could do with a trimming though.

[carole]

Yes the vet trimmed those claws for him, so all good.

He's handsome! I see some Shepherd in him, some Lab as well. Possibly some Tree Walking Coonhound?

Are you SURE you couldn't afford a doggie?
