Yesterday morning my husband found a young male pep in our front
yard, (We live on a small farm on a country road just off Old Route
66. It's legs looked deformed or crooked so i immediately rushed it
to our local vet. He said it looked to be a border collie pup about 8
weeks old, malnourished, wormy, and with rickets. He gave the little
boy his first set of puppy shots, wormed him, and advised me to feed
him one Pet-Tab dog supplement a day along with free choice dry
Pedigree for puppies and to slowly add canned Pedigree for puppies
once to twice a day. Is there anything else anyone here might know to
help this puppy to heal up (is that the right expression) from
rickets. The poor pup is in a large pen in our garage for 10 days in
case of Parvo although my vet says he didn't think he was likely to
have it as no bloody stool but just to be safe as I have other dogs.
He doesn't get off his pet pillow except to eat, drink a lot, and
relieve himself. He also limps when he walks. He is such a beautiful
sweet boy, although he tries to walk away from people and kind of
cowers when approached. He doesn't tremble or fight when picked up
however, just sits very still while held. Any advice to help this
poor little guy would be greatly Yesterday morning my husband found a
