Sorry for the delay in updating you all on Pumpkin. I took him to the vets yesterday afternoon and the vet was horrified at his condition. He desperately needs his awful teeth removing but he is too weak to undergo anaesthetic as he is only 26kg. Christian has advised that he is fed 3 to 4 times a day to help him put on some weight and has taken blood for tests which I should hopefully get the results later today. He has been wormed and is on antibiotics. He came back to our house and he scoffed a bowl of food, toileted outside and then settled down quickly and fell asleep.... My grateful thanks go to Paul and Terri who came to fetch him last night to foster him until he gains weight. Paul is at home and able to keep a constant eye on him, feed him and give him much needed TLC. He will going back to Fivelands for regular checks as needed until he is deemed fit for surgery. Thanks also go to Caroline and Jill who also offered him a foster home. Although the Retired Greyhound Trust Head Office have agreed to fund his treatment we would prefer to pay this ourselves as a branch and if anyone is able to donate towards his care we would be so very grateful. xxxx

Oh goodness me! My heart is breaking for this poor lad....he must be feeling terrible with teeth like that. Hope the vet was able to do something to make him more comfortable. This has really upset me....it reminded me of when Jim came to Daybreaks and collapsed in the bath, but then I thought about when I saw him in the Best Rescue Class at last year's show at Solihull Riding School and he looked AMAZING! I'm sure that Pumpkin will soon flourish with plenty of TLC now he has found his way to Daybreaks....dental work, good food and worming treatment should help him put some weight on. Thinking of you, BIG (((xXx))) Pumpkin....such a handsome boy

Those owners should be ashamed, it is pretty obvious to see he is underweight (or something wrong with him if he does indeed "eat well") and I dread to think what his breath smells like and how sore his mouth must be. He looks a very handsome boy and I hope he finds a quiet lovely home quickly.
