Floppy Collie x

Had a call from a lady who is moving house and not allowed to bring her puppy with her. Havent seen him yet but seen a pic of him, he is about 5 months old, looks like a sheep i would say by pic prob a sheepdog, german shep x. He is pure white and fluffy. There is only one prob with this fella one of his front legs is deformed, he has 2 paws on the one leg. Says it causes him no problems. I Will be getting this lad tomorrow.

Wow - have you got a photo?

From the photo i seen today def an extra paw. Will know more tomorrow when i see the little lad.
U can see all the extra toes. Also its one of his front legs.

Think the lady is going to try and home from her place. Will try and get pics.

Floppy the white collie x is now up in the vets in Kildare where they are going to try and repair his foot. He is a sweet little lad very good. Dont think he had ever been on a lead as he seemed frightened of it and traffic.
The vet thinks that he might be able to sew the paw together, looks like the paw has split down the middle, he will know tomorrow after he has been examined in more detail and xrayed. Will also be nuerered while under.
I will get pics posted up of floppy and his paw in a few mins. If any kind person could help towards this lad, we would be very grateful. Me, Regina and Anya from the PI board are going to try and raise some money for this lad.

where can we send money Mary??wont be much but I suppose every bit helps

Oh isn't he just adorable

Have also sent Karen a pic of his paw. Dont know if she has recived it yet but will give u a idea.

ye I was waiting on the pics last night but nothing came through?

Will try again.

aww jeez my phone drives me mad,I got the picture and bluetoothed it to computer but its not coming up on it,got OH to try and it wont transfere its driving mr batty

And the picture still hasn't come through to me :cry:

Here's a picture of the poor little baby's paw

:cry:

oh the poor little baby...it looks like a split paw more than two paws...
for this beauty and a huge thank you to Mary for taking care of him

This poor lad at this moment is having his leg removed. Nothing else they could do. This was the advise of 3 vets.

The por little mite!!! Big cyber hug to him.

god thats very drastic ' poor little fella xxx hope he recovers quickly xx

When they x-rayed they seen how bad it actually was. One side of the paw could actually rotate 360.

How is this baby doing Mary? hope he's recovering well after his surgery...

Floppy seems to be doing great. Gone home for her recovery period with Regina. Think we have a home for him in England.

Any news on this lad ??

Floppy is doing fine. Will find out more later.

Floppy - now renamed Sunny cos he's such a happy little fellow has landed on his feet! My brother has offered him a special home for his special needs, he is having his stitches out today and a video of him is being sent to a very helpful 3 legged expert Sarah in the UK and she will advise him on long term considerations for sunny's care and joint mobility etc. We are slightly concerned about his other leg startin to bow so fingers crossed this will be the end of his terrible ordeal. A note to any1 faced wit this decision in the future, apparently it is best to remove the entire shoulder as leavin it there causes problems in later life - I didn't kno this and it's too late for sunny but this bit of info might help the next case.

Thanks for the update and glad to hear that Sunny is recovering well! for his other leg, at least he is in the best care now!

thats great ' how is he getting on Regina xx
