Need Prayers Tuesday for Tiny Dancer Vote for this post

Tiny Dancer is a new cairn who is being evaluated by a vet on Tuesday.. she was physically abused before being turned over.

here's the note when she arrived at her foster moms
corinne

She is so very sweet, I got kisses right away and she snuggled in my arms for the short ride back to Kathie's. But ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my, when I got her out of the sherpa and put her on the grass I just wanted to scream in anger. How can anyone be so inhumane to a poor defenseless puppy? I know we have discussed this over and over here on the board but this is my first opportunity to actually see how cruel people can be.

Her cairn spirit is intact and she so wants to run and play but her poor abused body just will not cooperate. Her little legs go all different directions and it seems she has a hard time just sitting down. She is painfully skinny, you can feel every bone in her body and I am almost afraid to hold her too tightly for fear of breaking something. She was as quiet as a mouse for the ride home and tried very hard to explore the yard but I think she was just too tired. I carried her up the stairs and placed her in her luxury apartment - her xpen with lots of towels covering the pee pads, gave her a fresh bowl of water and some supper. She did not seem too interested in either and just plopped down and is now fast asleep.

I brought the herd upstairs from Moms and she seemed interested in them, wagged her tail and snuffed each of them but then turned and went back to sleep. The reaction from the herd was interesting, after the first snif they all just layed down next to her xpen and now appear to be guarding her. It is highly unusual for all three of mine to lie so close together.

I have great fear for her, but I will take her to see my wonderful vet on Tuesday with hope in my heart. Please say a special prayer for this sweet little girl, she is going to need alot of prayers.

I asking for your special thoughts for Tiny Dancer as she goes to the vet Tuesday for further evaluation. PLEASE KNOW that this vet is fantastic as far as diagnostic work, and we will SURELY have further testing done on TD as we need to.

This little Dancer needs ALL of our good thoughts. Where we knew that Tiny Dancer had major problem with her rear end, meaning she would DRAG her feet, she cannot stand on her paws, we have since learned that Tiny Dancer may ALSO have major neurological problems with her front legs as well. WE KNEW that she does a "high gating Stallion" type of high stepping gate in order to shuffle along or move at all, we originally thought that this movement was to compensate for the dragging of her rear end.

However, we DID NOT know until TD got to her foster home is that she is incapable of using her front paws at ALL for any type of play as far as toys are concerned OR any type of movement of her paws to clear something from her mouth or something in her eyes or ears. THIS IN ITSELF is no big deal . . . heck, you learn what your baby needs. However, we ALSO learned that when Tiny Dancer has something as simple as a small leaf in her mouth, she was UNABLE to use her paws at all to rid her mouth of this leaf. A REAL choking hazard when you think that she could NOT use her paws to dislodge toys, food or anything else in her mouth.

This little angel needs prayers right now, that we are able to help her in her life. REAL BIG PRAYERS.

OMG my prayers are with this angel!! Mly heart is weeping and the tears as I read this story. Maybe it's all lack of nutrition and exercise and she'll recover a bit. That would be a miracle.
Your pack are amazing! They know she is sick and needing guarding which is exactly what they are doing, keeping her safe. Grand darlings!!!

Tiny Dancer's story like so many is so sad. The eyes leak & the heart aches every time one of these kids come in like this. So glad to hear her little Cairn spirit is in tact. We will put our paws together and say an extra prayer for her.

Hugs, Kris and MJM

We certainly will also keep her in our prayers. This is so sad! I could just take some of these abusers and abuse them as hard as they abuse these little angels.
