Adopter Billi
Krydsede raser · Ukendt · Voksen · 4 år
Billi blev reddet fra et offentligt dyreregister i Rumænien. Disse registrer er alvorlig overbefolkede, og små hunde som Billi er de mest sandsynlige at blive angrebet, mange hunde overlever ikke disse angreb, og så var Billi en heldig dreng, der fik udgang. Da Billi ankom til Oakwood opdagede vi, at han ikke fuldt ud bærer vægt på sin BL-læg. Vi satte ham på smertestillende og fangstid, men da det ikke virkede, sendte vi ham direkte fra røntgen. Desværre har Billi flere problemer med sine ben, der kræver kirurgisk indgreb. Hans bagre højre ben: Han har luxaterende knægrad 2. Hans venstre ben: Han har luxaterende knægrad 3/4. Han har også en gammel brud, der er helet helt anormalt i dette ben, du kan føle benet næsten stikke gennem hans hud, selv med den letteste berøring. For at gøre operationen endnu mere kompleks, er bruddet helet så anormalt, at det har efterladt Billi med et ben 2 tommer kortere end det andet. Hans hofter er også i en rotationsvinkel på 20%, der ikke påvirker Billies daglige liv, men vil påvirke vanskelighedsgraden af operationen, og så diskuterer vi lige nu med specialister om, hvad den bedste plan for handling er. Vi vil ideelt set lede efter et hjem til Billi som "foster med mål om at adoptere". Alle operationer vedrørende disse spørgsmål betales af Oakwood Dog Rescue. Billi har vist sig at passe godt med alle hundene, vi har blandet ham med indtil nu. Han bliver lidt for oprevet med pigerne og prøver at mounte dem. Hvis de ikke tillader det, står han og skriger på dem :/ På grund af de kommande operationer mener vi, det vil være bedst for Billi at have et hjem uden andre beboende hunde. Billi var meget forsigtig med katte under test, han viste ingen jagtlyst. Billi har vist sig at være en aktiv lille hund, selvom han hurtigt distraheres, når klemmer tilbød. Billi har aldrig levet i et hus før, så han skal have så lidt alene som muligt, mens han sætter sig ind og lærer reglerne. På grund af hans benproblemer har vi ikke startet leddetræning med Billi endnu. Billi har ingen form for grundlæggende træning

Billi was rescued from a public shelter in Romania. These shelters are severely over capacity and small dogs like Billi are the most likely to be attacked, a lot of dogs don't survive these attacks and so Billi was such a lucky boy to get out. Upon arriving at Oakwood, we noticed Billi was not fully weight bearing on his BL leg. We put him on pain meds and kennels rest but when this wasn't working, we sent him straight from X-rays. Unfortunately, it was found that Billi's hind left leg had luxating patella grade 3/4. He also had an old break that has healed so abnormally that you could feel the bone almost protruding through his skin, even with the gentlest touch. After many discussions with different specialists, it was decided that the best plan of action was to amputate the left hind leg. Billi has now had this surgery and is in recovery. He is doing amazingly well and seems so much happier without the constant pain that he must've been in. His hind right leg does also have milder luxating patella . When speaking with the vet regarding this, the answer was 50/50 as to whether he will be absolutely fine living with this with no further medical intervention and it seems to be causing him absolutely no issues at this time however, there is always the possibility later in life that the luxating patella could get worse and he could need anything from pain management to possible surgical intervention. The vet advised there was just no way of knowing but at this time, Billi is a very happy and heatlhy boy and has now been signed off from veterinary care regarding his legs. We understand that this can all sound very scary to a potentail adopter but after surviving all of the above, Billy is the most loving, cuddly and happy boy that loves every minute of his lift and he deserves the chance of a loving, forever home as much as any of the others, we really hope that people can see past his missing leg and love him for the sweet boy that he is. Billi has shown to do well with all the dogs that we have mixed him with so far. He does get a little too excited with the girls and will try to hump them. If they don't allow it, he will stand and bark at them :/ We'd consider Billy being adopted into a home with another / other dogs based on the right match however, we believe he'd also be absolutely fine as an only dog. Billi was very gently with the cat upon testing, he showed no prey drive. Billi has shown to be an active little dog although he's soon distracted when snuggles are offered. Billi has been lucky enough to spend a few weeks in foster with one of our staff members and we believe in a new home, he'd be fine to be left up to 4-5 hours Billi has been doing great with his lead training although he has started to show signs of slight dog reactivity which is currently being worked on Billi has no form of basic training althought he's done great with his toilet training. It's likely that's he'll have accidents in his new home but with consistency and patience, he has shown that he can very quickly pick up toilet training in a home
