Yea for right or for wrong, I guess at the time when we found them, I felt like I really didnt want the real owners to find them, even though we hadn't come to a decision yet as to whether we would keep them. Love dogs, but they are a huge responsibility and really had to think hard about whether we were at a point where we are able to properly take care of them. Yea, there was some pre-judgement on my part about the owners, but my conscience doesn't seem to bother me to much about that. I know shit happens, dogs escape, sometimes it cant be helped, but I wonder if they've ever been to a vet in their life.. The puppy sure hadnt.
It's common in puppies in the southeast to have worms and all that stuff, but the mother had them too, which would mean, they didnt have her on heartworm medication or anything. Luckily she was negative, and the puppy isnt old enough to have them yet. The puppy's belly was so big from all the round worms, it practically shrank to half its size after he passed them.
He was probably born with them, passed along from the mother.
