HOPE and FAITH UPDATE: The girls did well overnight. Their systems are adjusting to good nutrition so they are making a big mess as you might imagine. They are eating small meals every 3 hours and going out to potty every 1 hour. Their small issues include infected/yeasty face folds, raw tail pockets, yeasty feet, pressure sores, ear infections and Hope has ulcers and dry eye on both eyes. Faith is the more outgoing one, but both girls are timid. Hope mostly stays huddled in a little ball. Hope’s legs are very bowed/deformed and will probably not recover the correct shape. Our goal for Hope is to put weight on her and muscle mass too. She is borrowing a sweater for now from her foster sister and seems to like it. Faith will make her recovery faster than Hope, but we are on the right path for both of them. Hope is just one of the saddest little frogs I have ever seen, but I don’t think her spirit is broken. If we can get her over some of the exisisting medical issues I am sure she can make a full recovery body and spirit!

In case you don’t know what is going on.

Hope and Faith were abandoned in the apartment in Houston, TX where they were destined to starve to death…  Luckily, a good Samaritan found these two and brought to Short Mugs Rescue Squad - the rescue organisation in Texas. Skinny, dehydrated, scared of everything and everybody, but still alive, frenchie girls started the new chapter of their lives. Despite their young age (girls are 2-4 y.o.) they have been bred several times. Neither of them is microchipped. They both spend a few days at the vet and now were released to the foster care where they will stay until there is some meat on these bones and all the medical issues are solved. It will definitely take a while for them to fully recover and be put for adoption.
