Roxy had her eye entrophia surgery today and is doing well. She is terrifed of the cone on her head so we are taking short breaks without it but she has to be watched or she will scratch at her eye. She is completely convinced that I am torturing her for fun at this point. I wish she could understand!

 

Thank you to the following donors:

Lucy 2 had the ear Hematoma. It was sucecssfully repairs and she is the most precious happy go lucky lab x I think I have ever known! We hope someone will look past the pit in her and realize she is a lab who just has a little pit look to her in hir tippy toes. What an awesome dog!

Thank you to everyone including Jamie, Diane, Neil, Elenee, Logan, Rhonda, Vicky and Diane for donating to help this precous little girl

   

Kelly had the Small Tumor in her mouth on her lower gumline and needed surgery and bloodwork. Kelly is doing great. Her bloodwork was clear and healthy and she had the tumor removed. It was benign but we are still keeping a close watch on her.

Thank you to everyone including Christina and Helen for donating to help mama Kelly! She was unloved for so long while she lived in the woods for several years and it is wonderful to know she is so loved now.

   

Bud is the wheaton who is allergic to everything. His owner wanted to euthanize him b/c he itched all the time. Bud is not in a new home who has him on the demetologist recommended grain free diet. He is doing great, and loving every minute of his walks and family love.

Thank you to everyone including Christina, Helen, Kiki and Mary for donating to get Bud on the right tract to health so he could find a wonderful home.

   

update: RIP Minnie - we are so happy that you had a wonderful loving home for the last few months of your little life.

Minnie is the little senior chocolate lab we pulled from the shelter. Minnie had a urinary tract infection which we treated and her liver enzymes were elevated. Upon follow up at the vet yesterday (11.4), Minnie no longer had her infection BUT her liver values were double what they were the first time around when we ran her bloodwork. We are researching to find something to give her for liver and gall bladder health and will recheck her in a month.

Minnie is in a wonderful new home. Thank you to Patricia for taking on Minnie and letting her live out her golden years in your home. You are truely one of the most special people I have ever met!

Thank to you everyone including Christina and Helen for donating to get Minnie checked out and back on tract to a healthy last few years.
