So we went to the vets yesterday for controls and everything is going "ok" except for a little abscess on the knee.
As we want to be prepared Mauwsie got her Rabiesinjection and her chip. Yes the little girl has her passport now.
And to make up for that big needle and as it was getting quite cold at night Eva went to buy her a few things for going out on the evening and early morningwalks;
2 of them were too small though, so we will exchange them.
And as you can see, little missie is getting closer to other rescuedog Cheyenne
a message from the heart to thank all of you who saw the appeal of Sharon or Brenda to find some sponsors for financial help for the femur operation of little Faith, the puppy Sharon Vigar- Jones found in the streets of Pedreguer.
So Thank you Marian jane Simms
Thank you Hazel Richard Thank you Nicola Tebbutt Thank you Carla Parrish Thank you Maria Hendricks Thank you V Pickering Thank you Eddie Spells Thank you Nelia Palsgraaf Thank you Elaine Susan Hibbert Thank you Y. Smit
Thank you Sharon Vigar-Jones (groupdonation but I don t know from whom) Thank you incognito
Thank you all for your gift !
We had enough in the end to cover the OP and following problems in the last few weeks.
I must also say a BIG thank you to Hospital Veterinario JG in Mutxamel who kept the bills lower then we could imagine. Although I ve been there a dozen times so to speak since the OP, they never charged me the visits or time or checking her out for echo s etc. I only had to pay for the extra med's.
We even had a bit left to get her her pasport & chip today and rabies injection, so whoever will adopt this little girl, she will be able to travel abroad on Januari 2.
What began with a little cough a few days ago has gotten worse, here a little moment of yesterday.
Overnight it has even got a lot LOT worse and we hardly slept.
Doctorsorders: As of last night Mauwsie is not allowed to leave the house anymore, no more puppysitting at the neighbours, no nothing, meaning also I can not leave the house either as I refuse to leave her alone.
That is were it was so good that I could bring Mauwsie to my neighbours for an hour or 2 every day: meanwhile she would get to know more good people and I could do outside whatever needed to be done or go to the fysio or getting stuff for her....
This morning this situation already lead to problems so I had to leave her in the bench, closed this time while I would help the trimmer treat our rescuehorse Punkie who has frogcanker.
Anyways, I was in for another big surprise this morning... well we did know Mauwsie most propably would have parasites as all puppies do, but to see TENIAS in her stoollllll, was not funny because this meant BIG bad business.
As you can see she has what we call here "TENIAS" and are dangerous for all my other rescues.
So Juan, the vet, told me to give Milbemax...
OK fine,and How am I going to get that as I can t leave her alone so long, can t take her with me, can t bring her to the neighbours, and my friends living closeby being on Holiday abroad.
Yes the disadvantage of living reclude in the hills, far from everything and not being the kind of person for asking help.
Anyways, I went to my neighbours and luckily Tony proposed to come to my place and babysit on Mauwsie...
THANK YOU TONY !!!!!
So in a recordspeed I drove to Mutxamel, got all the medication and drove back...
Ow yes... In case you did not know... TENIAS is highly contagious so I have had to buy Milbemax for all the rescuedogs and R.cat to protect them from getting it from Mauwsie...
Yep if you want to rescue and help others, you must be prepared that it won t be easy
But to be honest... I am happy when she will be OK, I m quite sure she has not got distemper as the fever is lower.
Still could be Kennel Cough (incubation till 10 days and she started a few days back so could have brought it with her from the other place) or something else
I am dedicated to fight for this little girl.
I do hope the right person who wants to adopt her will contact me very soon.
Goodnight everybody... I need to get a bite to eat now !
PS. If you want to see what the worms look like, let me now ... Yes I have taken pictures as I do that all the time to have a reference bank of what is happening to them
So I ve spoken to Sharon Vigar-Jones and can update now for all of you following the story of Mauwsie...
About yesterday:
In short:
Good news: we went to the clinic and
*the stiches are already out
*new RX looking well
*we gathered enough money to pay the vetbill and get her defleet and fet with good puppyfood
Bad news:
Mauwsie has laryngitis and is having a tough time.
Longer version:
So we went to the vet and the stiches are already out...WHAT ? Yep only 1 week were they inside, thanks to the power of the torch.
A few new X-rays were taken and all is looking well
Bad news:
Mauwsie has laryngitis and is having a tough time.
Doctors orders is staying inside, no more moves, not even to the neighbours.
That means I also have to cancel all my appointments... not very handy... I wonder how other people do this ?
But hey...it s all for Mauwsie, we just don t know how strong she still is, probably never was vaccinated, did she get any antistuff of her mom ??? We just don t know.
For the healing of the leg: 2 more weeks of "no moving" around at all.
Removal of the pins after January 1 and untill then the surgeon does not want her to go to another family.
Yeahhhh right...or should I say HELP !!! this was not planned
All is going ok... Mauwsie is getting better. She has not had any important high fevers anymore so I am confident there is no risk of distemper.
The diarrhea, due to the use of Duphalac to help her liver, is better as I have lowered the amount of Duphalac so that problem is solved too.
Just remains a little cough that will be checked out tomorrowmorning
Fot the rest the pictures say it all.
She gets her daily medication and she loves the torchsessions.
1 less good thing though... the little girl is starting to bound with my pack and myself... my neighbour told me she started to hawl and cry after leaving her at their house for the daily visite.
It s time to start finding the perfect adoptive family for her before long.
Yep suddenly she was there in my bathroom... An opportunity to learn something new At the neighbours
A little torching of the wound, standard- and tingpoints
And then time to go to bed
She has not met the horses in person yet, but she will...soon
More info in the morning... she is doing better now but not out of the Woods yet and is having heavy diarrhea right now and got some stomach pain, but we can handle that... I just don t want any high fever or sneazing please
On one side because in the end you do worry so you don t sleep as deep as otherwise
On the other hand because she called me several times at 1.50 at 2.54 at 6.13... in the end we just stayed up.
And then of course it rained and stormed and we had soooo much rain overnight
Pictures and all the rest of the story have to wait till after midnight, till after I get back from the vetcourse. Do not worry, she is with me and was at the hospital area surrounded while I am on second floor in the congresarea, so she is never alone.
She was seen by the top vet and according to the sympthoms it could be.... Distemper (fever, convulsions, and more) but he did an Echo too of her heart and liver etc and it could be a liver problem too so we stay positive and start with Duphalac 2x a day.
As you know this is not my dog but I helped another person Sharon who took this animal from the street. I have 17 rescued animals at home.
I will do everything I can but I need your help ... if we all chip in obe way or the other.
I have not paid the bill from the OP yet as the promised help did not all arrive yet.
If Faith, Mauwsie has Distemper all my rescues are at risk, eventhough they have been vaccinated when the were a puppy. I will die myself if any of them all get sick or die because of this.
Sorry have to back to the vetscongress now, staying positive and taking Mauwsie with me
PS VEt not impressed Mauwsie tried to bite him... Me very happy though Mauwsie getting more confident... she wagged her tail again today when I picked her up after the morningsession at the congres.
An opportunity to learn something new
