Konrad came into foster care yesterday. Our understanding was that he was prone to pancreatitis but was otherwise fit and healthy.
The first we knew there was a problem was when the lovely Allison who transported him sent a msg to Jane telling her Konrad was in very poor condition. Shortly after that Allison sent us the pics that are posted on Konrad's page. Both Jane and myself were shocked and horrified.
In the 24hrs since Konrad came into care, we have been overwhelmed by people's support and generosity after seeing Konrad's pics online. Konrad is in Canberra with a loving foster carer who is determind to get him back into good condition.
Thanks to the donation we received in jsut one day, we have the funds to get Konrad a full medical workup at the vet tomorrow. Our major concern at present is that Konrad's emaciated state may have compromised his organs. Until he has had a thorough medical workup inc blood screens we wont know if Konrad has any other major medical issues.
As we have had many people contact us asking about Konrad, we decided we would start a blog so everyone can keep abreast of his progress.
According to Eileen who is Konrad's foster carer, he is an incredibly sweet affectionate little guy. Eileen tells is that Konrad has a fantastic temperament and is an absolute cuddle bug. She reports Konrad is eating well and loved sleeping in her bed.
