Here is the latest update on Tinsel.
The poor thing had 3 pounds of poop in her belly. When you feed a
starving dog, you can't give them all they want to eat, or they will
literally bust a gut and die. It is like killing them with kindness.
You have to give them small amounts of food every few hours apart so
their digestive system can slowly increase in size until they can
accommodate a normal size feeding.
So now that we know that giant bulge in her abdomen is poop and not
puppies, she is on a feeding schedule that allows her time to get all of
that poop and gas out of her system.
I also would like to thank Maria for her suggestion months ago about
using toddler clothing from thrift shops as dog coats. I had bought
some back when she first mentioned it, but I chose poorly because none
of them fit my dogs, or my foster at the time. But as luck would have
it the cool ski vest fits Tinsel like it was made for her, and she just
loves it. Thanks Maria for that tip! Who knew it would benefit Tinsel
so well!!!
I'll attached some photos of her in her ski vest. She is such a love.
Hard to believe someone would throw her out into sub zero temperatures
to die.
Onward and upward for this little girl! :)
Chris & Tinsel
Poor sweet girl. Thanks for taking such good care of her Chris. This girl must think she's dreaming, after all she's been through to be so warm and cared for. Thank you so much.
