Adotar Billi
Raça mista · Desconhecido · Adulto · 4 anos
Billi foi resgatado de um abrigo público na Romênia. Esses abrigos estão extremamente superlotados e cães pequenos como Billi são os mais propensos a serem atacados, muitos cães não sobrevivem a esses ataques e por isso Billi foi um menino muito sortudo em sair. Ao chegar no Oakwood, notamos que Billi não estava totalmente apoiando seu membro inferior direito. Colocamos ele em medicamentos para dor e repouso em gaiola, mas quando isso não funcionou, o enviamos imediatamente para raio X. Infelizmente, Billi tem vários problemas com suas pernas que vão exigir intervenção cirúrgica. Sua perna de trás direita: ele tem luxação da patela grau 2 Sua perna esquerda: ele tem luxação da patela grau 3/4. Ele também tem uma fratura antiga que se curou completamente mal nessa perna, podes sentir o osso quase saindo da pele dele, mesmo com o toque mais suave. Para tornar a cirurgia ainda mais difícil, a fratura se curou tão mal que deixou Billi com uma perna 2 polegadas mais curta que a outra. Suas coxas também estão em um ângulo de rotação de 20% que não afeta a vida diária de Billie, mas vai afetar a dificuldade da cirurgia e por isso estamos atualmente em discussões com especialistas sobre qual será o melhor plano de ação. Idealmente estaremos procurando um lar para Billi como "apadrinhamento com intenção de adotar". Todas as cirurgias referentes a esses problemas serão pagas pela Oakwood Dog Rescue. Billi mostrou-se bem com todos os cães que misturamos até agora. Ele fica um pouco muito empolgado com as fêmeas e tenta montá-las. Se elas não permitem, ele fica de pé e late para elas :/ Devido às cirurgias em andamento, achamos que seria melhor que Billi estivesse em um lar sem outros cães residentes. Billi foi muito gentil com o gato durante o teste, ele não mostrou instinto de presa. Billi mostrou-se um cachorrinho ativo embora ele se distraia rapidamente quando lhe oferecem carinho. Billi nunca viveu em um lar antes, então ele precisará ser deixado o mínimo possível enquanto se adapta e aprende as regras. Devido aos problemas nas pernas, ainda não começamos o treinamento com guia com Billi. Billi não tem nenhum tipo de treinamento 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
