Szirom adatlapja

It is a huge stroke of luck that SZIROM and her 3 puppies didn't freeze to death. As it happened, one of our staff had to call at the shelter one late evening and the dog family was already huddled up in the emergency cage. The pups were newborn with their umbilical chord still attached to their belly buttons, their mummy a skin and bone Dachshund crossbreed. The family stayed together for a few days while SZIROM did her utmost to look after her babies while she was feeling really unwell. She was suffering from continuous diarrhoea, she was eating less and less by the day and she was in danger of dehydration. By veterinary medical advice the pups were separated from her. One of them was already very weak and soon passed away. The other two are doing well and growing nicely without their mother thanks to Rita. Due to medical treatment SZIROM was beginning to feel better when a new medical issue arose. She developed pyometra, purulent infection of the uterus that had to be operated. By now she has come through the operation and got better again. She's put on weight, loves running around and her favourite activity is burrowing in the fields. She's a perfect scent hound who enjoys hunting tunnelling animals, stopping by every hole in the ground excitedly. She's kind, but a little wayward, so she sometimes ignores what you say to her. She's friendly with her dog companions. She's looking for a loving home where she'd be allowed onto the sofa as one of her favourite pastimes is lounging on there in-between two sessions of burrowing.
