[jnmarshall]

1 female, 4 males. Looking for a good home! Updated pics from the weekend.Photos (http://photos.yahoo.com/ph/jnm565/album?.dir=/8ed9) uploaded here!
As a reference, the pig in some of the pics weighs 35-40lbs.

Small adaption fee. The mothers were part of a rescue and the proceeds will help pay vet bills and to have them spayed. For more details or contact information, PM or email me.

They are precious. Wish I could take one, but not in an apt.

Why are they so skinny? They should be fat - they're puppies. And why do they look like they have bug bites all over them?

Kudo's to you for trying to do the right thing but they don't look to be in good health. :-(

[jnmarshall]

I do know they eat, pretty darn well! Guess if they have worms, maybe that's keeping them skinny? I know last week when I saw them, the black(gray?) ones look like they have dandruff, that must be the mange or scabbies he mentioned? I'm not familar with dog diseases. I thought it was from the way they were being shampoo'd, I thought using human shampoo was bad on dog skins and told them not to keep using it lastweek.

[GTChick01]

Yes, they will stay skinny (and dehydrated) until the worms are gone. Most puppies have worms... the vet can give them meds for it. The flaky skin and loss of hair is most likely from mange. Either way both can kill the puppies so they need to go to the vet asap.

[jnmarshall]

BTW: Looking at treatment and learning about this. Hookworm can be transfered to pups from the mothers milk, most common method of transfer with puppies. If a vet told you otherwise, find another vet!

mange is common and is very easily treated with mitoban. You can have the vet dip them or do it yourself with a sponge. Don't get that shit on your skin or you'll be sicker than shit. Use rubber gloves.

Worms Are Very Common In These Dogs. I Bought A Blue One When It Was 6 Weeks Old And He Fit In The Palm Of My Hand He Was So Bad. When I Took Him To The Vet They Said He Was About 10 Min. Away From Being Dead. He Had Worms Really Bad. The Vet Gave Him The Liquid Yellow Stuff That Slammed 04 Was Talking About And He Was Better About A Week Later. Now He Weights About 85lbs. The Medicine Isn't That Expensive Either. These Dogs Can Be Great Dogs With The Right People So If Your Going To Get One It Should Be That Hard Getting It Better, With A Little Medicine And Time. Good Luck With The Dogs. If I Didn't Already Have 3 I'd Take One. Im Sure They'll Be Fine.

[jnmarshall]

I stopped at Banif/petsmart last night. They gave me a yellow liquid called evictds. It smells like bananas. It's suppose to kill the worms and larva within 24 hours. A follow up treatment is recommended in 2 weeks.
As for the mange, the owner stopped at the vet (that's treating the mother dogs) and got some stuff called lymdyp (I think). Its smells like rotten eggs! They told her to dip the dogs, leave it on (don't wash off) then dip again in 5 to 7 days.
Unfortunately, they said it'll take 3-4 weeks before everything clears up.

It's amazing how much has changed in two weeks, that was the lasttime I had seen them.

I wouldn't mind getting one but I'm not gonna pay $75 for a sick dog...

[jnmarshall]

I hope they are not going to be sick. I personally drove over there lastnight to make sure they got dewormed and bathed and dipped.

They will still need their vacs. The owners can't afford that for all of them with the loss of job.
I've been searching for one of those lowcost, or free mobile services, but haven't had any luck looking!

I wouldn't mind getting one but I'm not gonna pay $75 for a sick dog...

[04V6STANG]

is the female still available?

[jnmarshall]

Yes. I'll PM you contact info...

is the female still available?

[jnmarshall]

I'm glad you said something, I hadn't seen them in over 2 weeks, so I didn't have a clue. I'll probably go back tonight and see how the others are doing. Hopefully they have responded like Bruce.

I wouldn't think you made a bad investment. It shows he found a good home and someone that cares.

Just have to find 5 more homes like that now!

i got mine all of it's shots yesterday and the yellow banana stuff also, bruce (the pitt ) woke up this mor, and it was like a differant dog, he is so much more playful and look's so much more happy now, i dont think he was a bad investment but i wish i was told all this before i bought him, he is an awsome dog though, and ill post up some pic's tonight after work

you have to be kidding me... whoever owns these dogs should be in jail. Have the cops come pick them up, beat them to a bloody pulp, give them skin infections, infect them with lice, and then leave them out on the side of the road to fight for there lives. I would personally buy every last one of these dogs, nurse them back to health, and sell them if i had the money...the owner is a POS!!!!

Did you not read the part where he explained that the people that have these puppies have them as a result of resueing the mother dogs???

If you are referring to the people the dogs were rescued from then I digress, but I'm pretty sure you just looked at the pictures and read about the health of these pups and went off the deep end. I have been involved in some animal rescues personally (former game dogs that would have been put down) and in trying to give an animal a chance you sometimes take the risk of getting in over your head. They probably still have a better chance in their present situation.

So basically... chill out.

Don't tell me to chill out... it pisses me off to see this happening time and time again, and it's my God given right to express that. I don't think I went off the deep end either. You have yet to see me go off the deep on, especially for something I feel so strongly about. Yes I did read where they said that they weren't the owners of the pups or parents, that they were simply trying to help out and get the pups a home. Whoever's fault it was, regardless of whether it was bad breeding practices, improper care of parents, improper care at birthing time, or improper care of the puppies post birth this is wrong. As an owner of a pitbull and someone who searched long and hard to get proper bloodlines for my pit I think I have every right to be pissed off. Not only is this inhumane, but it also messes up the breeding lines of the pitbull family...if you need more info on this subject I'd be more than happy to get my proffesional breeder friends, trainers, and experts on this topic too. So now you chill out

"I have been involved in some animal rescues personally (former game dogs that would have been put down)"

Read that. Umkay.

I love the way people want to act like they know more than anyone else on an anonymous board. (pat yourself on the back) I was only trying to point out that you shouldn't be so hard on the people who rescued these adult dogs. Rescued animals are usually "rescued" because they are in a bad situation or are in bad shape. If the adult dogs were in bad shape then it goes to reason that the puppies probably won't be very healthy.

I'm sure you know more about dogs than me, I'm sure I don't own a APBT, I'm sure you're the only one on this board who actually owns a bully or cares about bloodlines and such.

As far as you helping me out... well, I seriously doubt that you or your "proffesional breeder friends, trainers, and experts on this topic" (can you tell from my writing how impressed I am??? yawn) could tell me much I don't know already. (I'm well read) One thing I bet they would tell you is that they would rather have these puppies rescued and put into good homes rather than stay wherever they were that put the adult dogs into this condition to begin with. (which is what my point was) On second thought, they might tell you that they would have rathered these dogs just be put down. It depends on the way "proffesional breeder friends, trainers, and experts on this topic" feel about rescued animals.

and lastly... When I said chill out, I meant that literally, not personally. I hate it when people take things on these boards personal. It's stupid.

**I reread my post and my attempt to keep things "funny" come off pretty "smart ass". Make sure you read them as they are intended hrmotorsports. don't let me get to you. ;)

If you are looking for a reasonably priced vet I have taken my dogs to the
Cedar Hill Vet Clinic for years and recently had my two female dogs spayed all shots and heart worm shot that last six months and my total cost was $240.00 They are great people and I found them while working with the Doberman Rescue of North Texas. That is who they use and they love them. I do not know the number off the top of my head but if you want PM me and I will find the number. :D ;)

[hr_motorsports]

I don't know any other way to say it, and I'm almost posistive I said it in both posts. Whoever's fault it is that these dogs are like this, wether it be original owner, rescuer, vet, or whomever is a POS...what's not to understand about that???

So if the poster rescued them from this and is trying to help then it's not intended to that person, it's directed towards the owners that they were rescued from and vice versa.

ok. 'nuff said. Guess I should have assumed that.

[92midnightride]

you can also try the humane society. the one in fort worth off of lancaster offers, or used to, low cost coupons, $25, for spay/neuter. jamie cantrell is the director and i spoke with him personally about trapping and fixing 26 wild barn cats where i used to keep my horse. they actually agreed to spay/neuter them for free if i caught them and brought them in. but i do know that they did have the spay/neuter coupons. also, the adopted owners can call around, that's what i did. it takes some work, but it's worth it and you can find organizations that are willing to help. best start, if the other vet in cedar hill mentioned on another pm didn't work out, is the dallas humane society unless someone is willing to bring the puppies to fort worth, or the new owners of the puppies can go by the hsnt on lancaster and request the coupons. there are several surrounding vets that still honor those coupons. they'll give you a list. best of luck and god bless the people who took the responsibilty for those dogs and puppies. i've been there and it's not easy, but very much worth it. these will grow to be fantastic dogs with the right owners!! nothing beats a rescued animal for a pet! whoever does buy one of the puppies, make sure to keep it separated from other pets until the mange is completely cleared up, usually 4-6 weeks. check with a vet. otherwise, it will be passed on the your other animals and the cycle will start again. but by now, that should be almost over for the treatment. and yes, don't use human shampoo! it strips the coats of essential oils the puppies naturally have. use puppy shampoo, a sensitive one when the mange is cleared. their skin is super sensitive right now and you don't want to irritate it further.
good luck!

Bump for a new week. 1 Female/4 males.

[Shane Small]

I will take a male and the last female if they will let them go for 100.00$.. Please let me know all the contact info.

Thanks, Shane

[Shane Small]

Thanks for the heads up.. Maybe I should get a better deal from these people since these dogs are in need of some help.. Where are these people located at?

[Shane Small]

thanks again man for the heads up.. I was just thinking that if I could get a good deal on these dogs than I might be able to save a couple.. They might be too bad to adopt though..

[jnmarshall]

Yea, because of one whiner, I guess the best thing to do with these dogs is leave them on the side of the road at this point?

Anyway, the dogs are in much better health, I'm going over there to take some pics tonight. When I saw them saturday, they are getting big (and fat). And the fur/skin looks really good.

I'm not sure what else this guy had done at the vet that cost $500! But he maybe getting ripped off. The deworm medication was $15 for 6 pups (2 doses each) see post above, same medication that smells like bannanas. The scabbie/mange treatment was only about $30 ($15/bottle) from the vet. The vet wouldn't do the shots because they were too young? So he maybe confusing the mange treatments with the vaccinations?

They need their vaccinations/rabbies at a cost of about $25 per visit every 2weeks for 4 weeks ($100 total).

Then neutering/spaying -> price dependent on vet.

thanks again man for the heads up.. I was just thinking that if I could get a good deal on these dogs than I might be able to save a couple.. They might be too bad to adopt though..
