Frodo came to us because he was sick.  We are not sure why he was stuggling in his home but he is doing well now.  He is FIV/Leukemia negative, current on vaccines, flea and worm treated and microchipped.  He is a sweet little guy but he knows what he likes and doesn't like.  He thinks he needs to be treated like a baby.  He is a four paw declaw and his DOB is 6/12/2012.  Please contact us to learn more about Frodo and his breed, as well as his adoption fee.

Update 4/9/2013
We were able to get a second opinion on Frodo and he was neutered today and is in his foster home acting as if nothing happened today. We had his bloodwork looked at by two other vets and neither felt there was any reason to suspect a shunt. We will give him time to recover from his surgery and as long as he continues to do well, he will soon be available for adoption.

I would like to introduce Frodo. He is a 10 month old Munchkin that came to us two months ago weighing only 2 pounds, cold and severely dehydrated. He was purchased from a breeder for the purpose of breeding. When he was five months old they had done a four paw declaw on him (without a neuter of course), at which time he developed diarrhea. He remained sick and the family did not want to spend any more money on him so his health continued to severely decline. I found him posted on CL for free and fear of him not receiving the care he needed drove me to contact the family to allow us to help him. We were not certain that we could save him. I have been caring for him and he has continued to amaze me with his fight and determination. To look at him, he appears to be a normal healthy 4 pound Munchkin but we have scheduled him twice for a neutered but had blood work done first to make sure he suffered no organ damage from his lack of nutrition. Both times he has had elevated liver enzymes so he has not been able to have surgery. The vet feels that he should see a specialist for a possible liver shunt. The examine and testing alone to determine if he does or doesn't will cost over $500. If he does infact have shunt, the surgery to correct it could cost up to $4000. As his foster mom, I can not give up on him. I am asking for help and hoping to do what ever is needed to give him a chance. I am torn with the decision as I know it may limit our ability to help other animals in the coming year but watching what he has been through makes me know he deserves better. Please share his story and help us raise the funds to finally give him a good, healthy life.
