Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Just when we think we have seen it all, something comes along that we could not make up if we tried. Meet Slinky.
Slinky was in need of rescue and thanks to the magic of Facebook, his story made it to DRSF. We took one look at him and were positive he had some sort of neurological issue that was causing his head tilt. He wasn't in the greatest of shape....a little skinny and bad teeth, but in our minds, that was the least of our worries based on the fact that he was walking with a tilted head and we welcomed our second "neurological" case of the weekend.
As soon as Slinky was officially a DRSF dog, he made his way to Southeast Veterinary Neurology where, understandably, the worst was assumed - brain cancer, a tumor, etc. We were committed to giving Slinky the life he deserved for as long as he had.
An MRI and spinal tap were scheduled, and we held our breath for the results as we knew it could be nothing but bad news.
Nothing. Bubkis. Squeaky Clean MRI.
Nada. No infections in his spinal fluid.
Nothing remarkable in the Bloodwork.
There isn't a darn thing wrong with Slinky and three vets have examined him and we have zero idea why he holds his head like that.
So you know what we are going to do?
Nothing. Not a damn thing. We are gonna love Slinky and his tilted head just the way he is and help him find his forever family.
The good news is that Slinky and his adorable tilted head will be moving to DRSF boutique foster home Adoption Couture where he will nap and chase lizards outside, snuggle on the couch, and interview for his forever family. The bad news is that we are out of pocket for an MRI and spinal tap for an otherwise healthy dog.
We never thought we would be fundraising to cover an MRI and spinal tap on a healthy dog with a tilted head, but here we are. The world is a crazy place. We can only provide this kind of medical care because you make it possible. We can't say that we know another senior dog with a tilted head is right around the corner and will need us soon, but these days, who the hell knows? Can Slinky count on you for a couple dollars so that another little one can have the same chance he did?
