Big Brother - Outcome Unknown


Name: Big Brother
Age: Approximately 5 weeks
Breed: Possibly Red Heeler Mix
Sex: Male (not altered)
Location: San Antonio, Texas area

Vet Info: Big Brother has been at the clinic for about two and a half weeks, along with his five siblings. He is suspected to be partially blind, but he is too young to fully evaluate. The vet suspects significant hearing loss as well.He will be vaccinated at 6 weeks of age. He has not yet been heartworm tested but he will be given preventative at 6 weeks of age.

Owner Info: A litter of puppies, possibly red heeler mix, was abandoned at a vet clinic. After de-worming, several of them had seizures due to the heavy worm burden. Since that time, this puppy has not regained his sight and also has partial to complete hearing loss. The staff are going to begin to find homes for his siblings this weekend. They really want to find a good home for Big Brother where he can be cared for by someone knowledgeable about his impairments, otherwise he may be euthanized.
