Support Thumper's Fight for Life
Here's a story for you that I'm currently living... After being contacted by a Yellow Lab breeder about a paralyzed puppy they want to get rid of I couldn't say no. "Thumper" came to us at 8 weeks, his rear legs look like a ballerina and at constant locked point. Zero muscle, zero function. After two vet visits, blood work and an amazing team researching we have our answer, and it's worse than we had thought. He is diagnosed with #neospora this is a parasite contracted from his mothers placenta that eats his muscles. We are treating him aggressively with antibiotics in hopes of stopping the parasite in its tracks, but there is no sure fire way to treat this. At 8 weeks old, he's never been able to fully run, play, and do all things "puppy". Today he gets his wheels, and will move faster, keep up, and for once not be the man left behind. Here at our home, he's the top dog, will get the best care imaginable, and will hopefully find a forever home with someone who can nurture his weaknesses and feed his strengths. He's an amazing little animal, and my heart is full his with us. To donate to Thumpers fight please consider donating on the link below and note "Thumper".
On another note I've contacted the breeder and the AKC and am working to shut them down. They will likely sell all the litter mates who potentially carry the parasite as well... #adoptdontshopg Please share to support Thumper and expose irresponsible Breeders!!!
