Adoptar a Billi
Mestizo · Desconocido · Adulto · 4 años
Billi fue rescatado de un refugio público en Rumanía. Estos refugios están muy sobrecargados y los perros pequeños como Billi son los más propensos a ser atacados, muchos perros no sobreviven a estos ataques y por eso Billi fue muy afortunado al salir. Al llegar a Oakwood, notamos que Billi no soportaba totalmente su pierna BL. Lo pusimos en medicación para el dolor y descanso en jaula pero cuando esto no funcionó, lo enviamos directamente desde las radiografías. Desafortunadamente, Billi tiene varios problemas con sus patas que requerirán intervención quirúrgica. Su pierna trasera derecha: tiene una luxación de la rótula grado 2 Su pierna izquierda: tiene una luxación de la rótula grado 3/4. También tiene una fractura antigua que se ha curado completamente mal en esta pierna, puedes sentir el hueso casi saliendo a través de su piel, incluso con el toque más suave. Para hacer la cirugía aún más difícil, la fractura se ha curado tan mal que ha dejado a Billi con una pierna 2 pulgadas más corta que la otra. Sus caderas también tienen un ángulo rotacional del 20% que no afecta la vida diaria de Billie, pero afectará la dificultad de la cirugía y por eso estamos actualmente en discusiones con especialistas sobre cuál será el mejor plan de acción. Idealmente buscaremos un hogar para Billi como "acogida con perspectiva de adopción". Todas las cirugías relacionadas con estos problemas serán pagadas por Oakwood Dog Rescue. Billi ha mostrado tener buenos resultados con todos los perros con los que se ha mezclado hasta ahora. Se emociona un poco demasiado con las hembras y tratará de montarlas. Si no lo permiten, se parará y ladrará contra ellas :/ Debido a las cirugías próximas necesarias, creemos que será mejor que Billi esté en un hogar sin otros perros residentes. Billi fue muy suave con el gato durante la prueba, no mostró instinto de presa. Billi ha demostrado ser un perro activo aunque pronto se distrae cuando se le ofrecen caricias. Billi nunca ha vivido en un hogar antes, por lo tanto necesitará estar solo lo menos posible mientras se adapta y aprende las normas. Debido a sus problemas en las patas, aún no hemos comenzado con el entrenamiento con correa con Billi. Billi no tiene ningún tipo de entrenamiento básico.

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
