A friend needs some help

[My_Baby_Loves_Me]

I have a friend in Tenn. with a sick pup she found. As soon as her hubby gets back from his all male trip she going to take him ( the pup ) to a vet ( she's looking for one right now ). Here's what I know so far ( I've made some suggestion that maybe wrong but I'm trying to help her out till then ).

Linda Pabst: What r u doing up so early!
misty_rose39: I'm up caus sick pup
Linda Pabst: awwwwwww what's wrong
misty_rose39: poor thing very undernurished making himself sick because he is eating to fast and to much
misty_rose39: lil tiny thing about the size of lucky
Linda Pabst: only give him a small handful every 4 minutes till he's had his fill
misty_rose39: hmm now thats an idea
Linda Pabst: how old is he
misty_rose39: not sure
misty_rose39: am lucky to get him to quit shaking long enough to eat at this point
Linda Pabst: ok just a long shot here but get u some puppy formula and warm some up put it on his food ( make it soupy ) let him lap it up but don't make him to much ( doggy soup ) that he makes himself sick again
misty_rose39: he can eat regular food no problem
misty_rose39: but might be good idea for a little while just to get the nutrition into him
Linda Pabst: I know but there's extra nutrtion in the formula that he may be lacking
misty_rose39: lol i just said that
Linda Pabst: just till he's eating and not throwing it up
Linda Pabst: just a thought he may have worms
misty_rose39: yeah possible
Linda Pabst: where did u find him
misty_rose39: out of yard after he scared sis out of her skin
misty_rose39: looked in poo nothing that could be seen yet anyway
Linda Pabst: they may be in there just not visible to the eye
Linda Pabst: do u have a low cost vet down there
Linda Pabst: if so give them a call and see about taking in a sample to have it checked and get him checked out too
misty_rose39: will have to look around
Linda Pabst: I'll post and see if I can get some more info for ya and when I do I'll IM u or send u an email
misty_rose39: that would be great
Linda Pabst: till then give him lots of TLC talk to him just keep telling him that ur not going to hurt him show him ur not like the jerks that had him before u found him
misty_rose39: trying to
misty_rose39: he has had almost constant attention since we pulled him out of rain
Linda Pabst: when you go to him and move ur hand does he cower like he thinks ur going to hit him
misty_rose39: no
misty_rose39: just whimpers a little when i go to pick him up
misty_rose39: and whimpers and shakes when he is sleeping
Linda Pabst: does he have any spots that is sore where he may of been hurt ( hit )
misty_rose39: nope
Linda Pabst: ok sounds like he wasn't physically abused but was abused in other ways
misty_rose39: yeah

Ok that's all I know, is there anything else I can have her do to help the little guy. She says he's warm and when going to sleep will come close to her. When he whimpers she talks to him softly telling him he's ok now he's SAFE.
