GRRI-NJ discovered Jack tucked away in the back room of an animal shelter, so still and quiet that at first our volunteer thought he had died. In fact, the very room he was in was the room where unadoptable animals are taken to be euthanized. He was terribly ill. He had a green mucous pouring from every orifice in his body. He was very malnourished...and he was going to die if we didn't do anything. Our volunteer drove directly to a veterinarian who placed him on intravenous fluids and performed extensive bloodwork. It was thought that he had distemper. He was suffering from seizures. But once he was stabilized he was ready to be moved to a foster home. He was placed on a raw diet and given medication for the severe seizure activity he was experiencing. Slowly he started to recover. The seizure activity would come and go; he would have upwards of 14 seizures a day; many times we felt it was time to do the humane thing; but then he would rally. His foster home was given approval to adopt him, and they continued to do everything they could for him for several more years. They knew each day they had with him was a gift, and they accepted that and loved him.
