Ramble Chained<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
From Dogs Deserve Better’s NM Rep, Angela (one4thedogs@yahoo.com) –<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
Ramble was rescued from his chain last week after I noticed he was rapidly dropping weight. He is a dog I pass by regularly, but have been unsuccessful in UNchaining \ud83d\ude41 They also have another chained Boxer on the property who I am currently, DILIGENTLY, working to get a fence for. This has been a very sensitive case, as these are my neighbors & I have tried to handle it as delicately as possible without completely alienating them. We have no tethering ordinances & no ACO until about a month ago. (she was on paid leave for nearly a year due to on the job injuries)<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
ANYway…I noticed Ramble had dropped a significant amount of weight between the last time I saw him on my way out of town to retrieve the remaining dogs from the Eunice case (26 dogs to date), & the day I returned. I was HORRIFIED to see his condition decline so fast. I managed to secure an O\/S (owner surrender) & got him immediately to my vet. The owners told me he had’nt eaten in days, not sure how many \ud83d\ude41 I got the O\/S by telling them he most likely had some sort of obstruction that would be VERY expensive to fix & that the most humane (& legal) thing they could do was surrender him to me unless they were prepared to pay for his care. <\/strong><\/div>\n

Weighing In At A Mere 37 lbs<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His initial xrays showed a blockage & he was given Barium to see if would help move it through. It did not. So they went in & removed a variety of foriegn objects including bones, rocks, rubber, blanket material, & foam. Apparently, this material sat in his intestines for so long that it caused a back up of stomach acid which created actual holes in his intestines which also had to be sewn up. Because the tissue was so damaged & there was so little viable tissue to suture, it did not hold & they will have to go back in to repair it agian \ud83d\ude41 But on a good note, he IS finally eating gruel. By my math, his first meal in over 2 weeks \ud83d\ude41 His condition is currently VERY gaurded, but the doc says he will be ok….with MUCH care. So I am hoping, prayiing, visiting him at the clinic every day & working on the previous owners to try & make this situation actually SINK IN. I don’t really think they understand it was caused by thier negligence…but THEY WILL by the time I am done with them. I have also been working with the hinderance of a language barrier as they only speak spanish. Just another of the many outreach challenges here in NM. I will continue to send updated pics as he continues to improve. <\/strong><\/div>\n

I just KNOW this boy is going to make it, I just know it. It is amazing how happy he is to see me when I visit & even more amazing to see his will to survive! I think he knows he never has to go back & that he is in the hands of someone that truly loves him now. Ramble is very special to me. I never thought the day would come that I would get him….how I wish it would have been under different circumstances…but nevertheless, that day did come. So, thanks to DDB, our supporters, & my clinic, I have been HONORED to have the opportunity to give this guy the life he deserves! THANK YOU!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
