I got Happi from an old collegue and little is known from Happi's past.
She only told me she is about 3 years old , seldom let of the house
and Happi had been feeding on plain white rice all the while.
I only know she had been staying with her dad but he was lost on mar 2008
in Jurong west. I saw advertisment from SPCA found the dog look like
Happi's dad but they do not wnt to bring him back. Later I was
contacted by Happi's pass owner that they want to give her up.
I was thinking she was such a poor thing, so we bring Corgi Benji
to meet her. They seem to get along well and on 1 st April on
April fool Day, I bring her back. I am thinking of adopting her
to give her a home and the same time can keep Benji company.
On our first meetup, I just find she is a bit dirty but she is
very obedient and follow me home. On the first night, we cannot
sleep as she is very smelly and keep crying at the door missing
her family.
The morning when I woke up, I quickly bath her and bring her to vet
as she seem to be running on fever. Happi had a blood test and seem
to have some tick fever and had very bad skin. The vet advice me to
think it over before adopting her. She has a poor red blood cell count,
mainly due to poor diet in the past. Vet said it will be very costly
in future medical bills as little is know in this poor little dog history.
But I decided to keep her and give her a loving home. The next thing
we do is to follow the vet advice, to shave all her fur to bare skin
to let her skin problem heal.She also do a dead sea mud spa. There
are follow up medications, vitamin pills, antioxidant pills, change
diet to better dog foods and so on.
At last my effort is not wasted. After about six months of treatment,
she has grow beautiful skin and fur that skinning like gold.
No more medical problems.
Many people saw her changes and now nobody said she is a ugly dirty dog again.
