I just had the shock of the year...

Am I uploading the news of the day on this blog with Mauwsie lying on my lap.

Suddenly she started having little convulsions ... first I thought she was dreaming lively (bad dream) but then I realised she was not.

As soon as it stopped, she did not move anymore and laid there quietly lifelessly... I cald her name, nothing. I lifted her skin in the neck, nothing. I did not see her breath anymore. Then i lifted her head up and when I let it loose it just fell down (in my other hand of course). So I gave her a shake to get her conscieus back.

Damn that was really frightening.
Of course I informed the chief of the clinic straight away. Now, no more stress for tonight and leaving her in peace to sleep.

Tomorrow morning first stop at the vetsclinic having her totally checked out, just to be on the safe side.

Edit: this was a day of a very big UP, her tail waggling for the first time while walking with the other dogs, and the biggest DOWN, frightning me like this... I want NO MORE of these days !!!

  

On the way to the vet, we went with Addi for a coffee so Mauwsie would get a bit socialized with other people, noices etc.


At noon we had an appointment at the vetclinic; Fever checked, bandage changed, movement of the leg checked out...
 



After her lunch (she eats 3x a day) she did a siësta and then went of to the neighbours
 
while I went to the fysio.

 Faith also had a visitor this morning. Addi who helpt me to bring Faith from Pedreguer came to visit her.

As part of the therapy we decided that she would go each day for an hour or two to my neighbours Tony & Lin Bray, so the litlle mousie would make lots of positive interactions with humans.

Just to be on the safe side, although I knew she could have these fevers, due to the infestation of parasites.

Regarding the remarks on FB : To explain it as simple as I can, parasites attack the immunesystem of the body and that is one of the reasons why we have to deworm/deparasite our animal on a regular basis.

As an example: a puppy is deparasited before we vaccinate it as parasites cause a lower immunesystem and so we want the animal to be free of parasites and have a stronger immunesystem before you vaccinate it which would also lower the immunesystem.

The same is here, before any operation you want the animal to have the best and strongest immunesystem, and therefor your vets want you to deworm your animals on a regular basis.

Sometimes, like in this case there is no time to wait till the animal is topfit again : in this case repairing that leg was more urgent than all the rest as the bones start the healingproces immediately and you don t have the time to deworm and then wait for another week for the immunesystem to recuperate.

Sometimes you HAVE to make a CHOICE : in this case there was no choice... As the other vet where she was first did not deworm her or do anything for that matter: The OP simply had to be done a.s.a.p. and therefor I made the decision to have that OP already on Monday although that day the old owner still would have had a say.

This dog is getting al the necessary help and much more... she is not a single moment alone, I have done several veterinarion courses, I am a qualified photonic practitioner and I have certificates as a dogtrainer and -dogpsycho. I therefor cover both situations: the physical and the mental. 

When the fever comes up she gets some ice wrapped in between the legs and under the ingle.

She received antibioticshots of Synulox yesterday and today apart from other medication

She started a fever last night so I checked and she had 39.8.

Called the vetclinic to see what she had gotten as injections so I could see what we could do.

As she already had had all she needed, we went my way... meaning torching the little mouse the standardspoints which include the point that releases aspirine in the body.

Apart from that I took a cold gel-icepack that I wrapped well and put in between her legs...

I will find a way to make this work, even take her with me to the vetcourse this w.e.

That will also give us more time to find the right fosterer, the right adoptant and now it just leaves us with finding the rest of the money to pay the vetbill.

She was washed with dry shampoo to get her a bit cleaner and less smellier. Then she got another treatment against flees

Then we went for a walk and once again I could see how she would try to hide under a car...damn that girl is so damn scared of the world surrounding her
Even in the car she would try to hide but then she saw me, yes me and that gave her some confidence

She knows  only 1 thing very well, and that is to make herself as small as possible in a hiding place.

I have had some sad cases here, but this almost breaks my heart as she is only 4.5 months old.

Here she is lying in an open bench as she feels safe there. The door is open so she can get out when she wants to get out.

I went to visit my neighbour with her and the other WRR dogs so she would find out that there are more good people in this world.

Boomer was not impressed  Where is that stranger ?
Cheyenne was OK with sharing Tony s attention
Boomer was not
Hey are we going home ?
At home...Tommy connecting with puppy
Tonight I had to go to the physio ...of course I did not want puppy to be alone at home so she went to my neighbours yo learn and find out that there are still good humans in this world...young and old

Faith-Hope: 24/11
Today I was a t the vetclinic at 11 am. I saw the same scenario as yesterday and the day before... still very afraid when you arrive, but adapting quickly.
Since Friday I have still not heard her bark 1... a shockcollar in the past ???? You must be kidding (Getting angry again). I torched the little lady to prepare her for the OP an what would happen and meanwhile spent some undemanded time with her.
Just before 1 pm it was her turn: the catheder was put in and with propofol she went to sleep.
While opening the leg Juan could see this was not a recent broken femur and he had quite some work to clean both parts up and to make a perfect fit.
Of course he made the correct surgical decision as this is a pup with bones that still are growing.
Thanks to the use of the correct products, Hope did not have any problems to wake up slowly from the aneastesia.
At 3 pm she was totally awake and trying to stand up.
I torched her once again against pains and to stimulate cell regeneration.
After a brief stop ver at home to put the rescuehorses in the paddocks before dark, I went back to the clinic till 8 pm.
The girl is doing fine and she has made a click in her head... tonight she realised we are here to help here and she should not be afraid.
I have made the decision to take her home tomorrow.
For once nobody has offered yet a fosterhome

Faith-Hope: 23/11/2014:

She is doing OK ! Aitor said she is starting to show her character.
She is a little afraid of many things but adapts really quick.
I did not find any more flees, so the treatment has done it's work.
While Aitor and I were treating & cleaning the scin around her nails (which was black) she did not really like it and gave a small puppy bite (just a touch, no biting) to Aitor and kisses on my hand to me, hahahahahahahaa.
I torched her again today as she just loves it.
I took some video and am uploading it. Enjoy a few pictures meanwhile

We were at a fair yesterday to try and sell the famous Figs marmelade with vanilla, we had aromabeads with essential oils with us and all the Mosjies that Mosjie-Mosjie had donated to us.
AT the same time Eva made publicity about the Photonic Therapy and gave some torchsessions to the needy

So after the fair in Calpe Addi Verschuuren and I went to see Faith (Mausie) again at the clinic 4 some undemanded time and to torch her with the Photonic Therapy.
Nuria, the vet from Hospital Veterinario JG was saying she was just a beautiful dog, so kind and calm...everybody loves her there
They were shocked to hear the story about the shockcollar and very angry.

Of course I will go back to her tomorrow and will spend more time with her
