So, as some of ou may know, Im "trialing" a puppy that my cousin cant keep anymore.
Hes a cutie, hasnt fought with the other dog and seems to love the kids.
We were giving him a once over. Hes a Pom, so hes fluffy as hell. A Fur meatball. However, Hubby and I noticed we could feel every single one of his ribs as well as all the notches on his spine.. I dont know if they werent feeding him or maybe not putting enough for him. Every time I put food down its gone in like 10 secs (ive only been putting a 1/4 cup at a time), he also looks for my other dogs food to eat.
At this point, even if he werent getting along with the dog, I think we'd tell my cousin we'd keep him just so that we could find him a better home. They cant keep him anymore b/c they live on a second floor apt, the wife is pregnant and they werent able to take him out as often as he needed to be out. Im guessing that if they were tired of taking him outside, they may have stopped giving him food and water. This makes me sad. I dont want to ask b/c i dont want to sound judgemental (even though it pisses me off).
/sigh. Ill make a vet appt for sometime soon.
