Hello, My name’s Forrest, Forrest Gump. (Now since you know my name, the effect will be better if you continue reading my bio in my voice).
I came to Yorkie Haven Rescue because my previous mom and dad were going to have a baby. I have a lot of medical things going on right now and they did not feel they could devote the time and money I needed with a new one coming into the picture.
Well, when I got to my new foster mom’s house, she was not sure what to think of me. I am skinny, my ears have a “leather look” to them, my head bobs involuntarily and I don’t have my “magic legs” beneath me. We’ve visited the vet and he took some of my blood. When the results came back, my liver enzymes was high. Although we’re not quite sure what it is I have yet, the doc said we’ll run some tests to see if it is liver shunt and go from there. I heard talk of “bile acid levels” and “ultrasound”, whew, this all sounds major, but if it helps me get back to normal, it will all be worth it.
Foster mom says that I am just a sweetheart and can tell that I have the heart of a lion king. Since I’m so weak right now, she holds my water bowl up for me to drink, feeds me in a flat tupperware lid so it is easier for me to get to my food and dotes on my every need. Boy, I could get used to this treatment. I may never use my “magic legs”. I will lick foster mom’s hand to show my appreciation for what all she is doing for me and I know that with her help (and yours) I will be a healthy, happy young man one day.
We are working on filling out the empty spaces in my belly, then hopefully this will help me gain some strength and get some muscles back in these rubbery legs and then, of course, find out and hopefully fix whatever condition I have. I have a long “to do” list, but as we all know, Forrest Gump, can do it all. The only thing I can’t do is afford to help foster mom with the money for all the testing I’ll need, so I’m reaching out to you, my friends, to assist us in that department.
Foster mom keeps telling me that I’m no different than any other pup, but I just can’t wait until the day I’m all fixed and she can say “Run, Forrest, Run”, and I run.
