Poor baby. So happy you can look forward to a better life now.
Oscar is so small, so adorable, and nearly lost his life after just five short weeks on earth. Little Oscar didn't know about neglect, fear and hunger until he was 5 weeks old. He was located by good Samaritans during a dumpster in Indianapolis, Indiana. Someone wrapped his small body in a towel and threw him away like used garbage. the 2 kind souls who found him heard his moans deep in the thick of the night.
He was delivered to IndyHumane the very next morning and was affected by vomiting and unable to carry down water. He was so weak and filthy, he required life-saving measures immediately. Oscar was placed on a hot pad in the ICU, with a teddy bear next to him, imitating his mother's heartbeat. He had x-rays and a radical exam, which revealed Oscar likely ate something that got him sick.
He didn't have parvo, which may be a good thing because parvo are often fatal. It took several days of medicines and support before the small guy showed signs of improvement. He is going to be spending time with a family as he recovers from neglect for a short time. The parents at IndyHumane shared images of little Oscar on Facebook and reported, “We are truly humbled by the strength he displayed while alone and cold therein dumpster. Oscar is yet one more example of how humans can learn tons from the resilience and determination of animals.”
We wish Oscar all the simplest in his recovery and thank everyone who stepped up to save lots of his life.
