This is gonna be kinda long as I'm adding as many details as I know so I can hopefully get some advice.. So thank you in advance to those who read it alllol
Okay well I have been looking for another bp for the last couple weeks, and I saw a het. albino on kijiji.. The ad said hes a healthy "puppy tame" 09' who's feeding on one large mouse every week, when he should clearly be eating way more... from the picture he looked a bit under weight and the cage looked dirty.. I figured he could use a home where he would be taken care of. So I replied and she wouldn't budge from $120 with him she said he would include water dish and two hides. When I got there to see him she pretty much threw him at me and grabbed the money and slammed the door.. I couldn't believe it. I put him in a bin and went home. When I got home I looked through the bag of "accessories" she gave me and the "two hides" was really just one broke in half.. and the water dish was an extremely small hamster food dish... when I checked him out he's extremely under weight and dehydrated, he's not puppy tame, hes really weakhe has little pieces of shed stuck to him, what looks like a rotted scale on his stomach and he's wheezing badly and theirs bubbles in his mouth so I know he has a respiratory infection , he has some scars and hardly any muscle tone. I feel so bad for him
I put him in a bin with 80% humidity and its all perfect temps.. poor thing looks relieved even now, I'm going to soak him tomorrow but not sure if that would be good with the respiratory infection ? I'm planning on trying him on a f/t rat pup for his first and gradually increase him so he gets used to it, and I figured I wont try for like a week ? I'm making an appointment with my vet first thing in the morning so he can get on antibiotics and whatever else he needs
I feel so bad for the poor thing so if anyone has any advice on how i can help him more or make him more comfortable that would be sweet lol Thanks !
Sorry I don't have any pics posted.. He's very happy to have a FULL hide and has been hiding today lol will post some tomorrow!
