Update from the dog warden...
Hi

We had so many asking after comet thought would give a little update:

He's been allowed out of hospital and is now happy on the sofa ;)
Still some way to go and the vets have said things could wrong at any
time so all precautions are being taken. His kennel cough is the big
worry to ensure it doesn't turn into pneumonia. On the plus side however
he is eating lots of teeny meals throughout the day and night and
putting weight on. He's also getting a little bit of energy to play and
run in tiny moments. Pip says he is a very loving little dog who is
adoring all the fuss and attention

Will keep you posted

So happy this boy is recovering. You can do this boy. Everyone on here are rooting for you Little Man. Praying you get stronger every day. ((((HUGS)))). x
Teddys Mum - Area Volunteer, West London
Sending lots of healing to you little boy. Keep your recovery going and when you are all better you will find a nice new mummy/daddy who will love you forever, never to go hungry again.
BBKM
So pleased to read Comet is recovering and he has left the vets. You are an 'Angel' Pip, sending gentle hugs for sweet Comet xxx

God bless you sweetheart. So pleased that you are on the road to recovery. We humans are not all bad and hopefully you will find a loving owner who will treat you with the love and respect you deserve. Thank you EGLR for taking him into your care.Last edited: 2011-11-01 21:37:12 by AlisonH

So pleased to read that it has been possible to move this little boy. It must be wonderful for him to realise that hands can be caring and that he's safe. Thanks for what you're doing for him EGLR. Hope to be able to send a little more your way on Saturday. xx Last edited: 2011-11-01 21:17:57 by jobadger

"Comet is out of hospital and allowed to go to Pips @ Evesham Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue this w/e :) He is still not out of the woods yet but good news Pip says he is settling and incredibly affectionate, & loving the attention" xxx
Please send donations to lurcher.org.uk THANKS!
digbysmum
This is horrendous. So pleased to hear that the lovely Comet is recovering well. Just a thought, but could she have been left behind by travellers. Are there any sites nearby?
k9chum
Flo, I'm with you on that. Having looked on google maps there are not that many roads that lead into that area. I for one would be happy to take a turn at watching if Reynard thinks it might help. I'm fairly local to that area so will contact a few Farmers around there and see if they have any suspicions. Well done Pip, went on your web site last night and could weep buckets for the way some people abuse our canine friends.Last edited: 2011-10-30 16:01:56 by k9chum

Flo
I cannot beleive my eyes!!! Poor poor boy I really hope he pulls through. What on earth is going on in Swindon, someone must know something about these dogs. Surely a stakeout at Foxhill is needed x
lesleyjane

robnrach@wiltshirehuskies
We are in Swindon and will talk to the dog warden again...if we can find the owners of this poor chap, then maybee they should get the nasty jab.
lesleyjane
So glad to hear that these atrocities are being investigated. Sending all my love to dear Comet and the wonderful vets/nurses who are caring for him.xx
DogLostReynard
Investigations are ongoing Neighbark thanks.
DogLostGlynafon
It is so wonderful to hear that this poor boy has not only survived so far but is making progress which should mean he is feeling more comfortable. He must be a real fighter and so deserves to know some kindness and happiness in his life.. Sending healing thoughts and kisses to him and so hope we can see another photo when he is well on the road to recovery!
Neighbark
Are the police aware or searching a radius for sites, buildings, etc. this poor doggie is a symptom of the worst evil abuse, with so many dogs found recently in this area, surely there has to be a holding-place? Why would anyone want to watch this happening, and why do they then let them go? Were they stolen, then as no buyers - let loose? so many unanswered questions. Needs a designated detective to analyse and search for wherever these dogs are being kept. And how many more are there????
Julieann
I work at the vets where he was first brought into. I have NEVER in the 14 years of working for vets seen anything as bad as this. He was so weak he couldn't even sit or lay down, let alone walk. This morning I spoke to the vets where he is now - I was convinced he wouldn't still be alive - BUT he is! And he is making good progress. This has to be a miracle. Bless him. xx
Unknown
My dear Comet, if prays can heal then we are sending millions your way , God Bless you and help you to get the strength to survive.....to those that did this I hope you rot in hell for eternity.
CYNTHO
Hope and pray you make a full recovery sweet boy and then find the love and care you so richly deserve xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Poor soul - praying he survives. Liz xx

Message from Alison our fab Dog Warden: " he’s doing really well, not out of the woods yet and don’t want to get hopes up but he’s off the drip and on to small solid meals. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for him. We think he’s only about 6 months old

He has been called Comet in memory of Star.xxx

dewilliams42
ITS JUST SO SAD TO SEE THIS POOR DOG-I HOPE HE MAKES IT AND FINDS A LOVING HOME. I REMEMBER STAR, MOLLCHOPS, BUT I DONT THINK SHE MADE IT SHE WAS SO BAD. SOME OF THESE DOGS FOUND IN THIS AREA LOOK QUITE HEALTHY AND I WONDERED IF THEY WERE BEING TAKEN FROM OTHER AREAS AND DUMPED HERE -SOMEONES IDEA OF A SICK JOKE. SO DIFFICULT TO FIND RESCUES/HOMES FOR SO MANY UNLESS THE PAPER CAN PUT OUT AN APPEAL? BUT THIS ONE LOOKS AS IF IT HAS BEEN SUFFERINF FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
Lurcher SOS
Praying for a recovery for this poor poor boy. Well don Pip and EGLR for offering for him.
Mollychops
This is truly sickening :{ . Anyone remember STAR,fawn lurcher??? she was found in a similar condition in Swindon area too!! I hope this lovely boy makes it. Well done to Pip at Evesham, for offereing to have him . He will be spoilt rotten , and found a loving home that he deserves. Fingers crossed for this lovely boy XX
jobadger
Oh my God!!!! What depraved individual allows a dog to get into this state. This is mindless cruelty over a period of time. Stay strong little boy - you can do this. Stay positive and you'll pull through and find that life is so much better. Jo xx
