Deadly Diagnosis

Our last post detailed the struggle of Halle and LuLu...Riley passed on Tuesday, LuLu passed on Thursday, and Little Halle on Saturday. Our test came in from K-State with a deadly diagnosis of distemper. Mama had been struggling, and broke with distemper Sunday, July 22nd. While she has some resistance, she is still very ill. We are hoping you could share our chip in to help us continue to care for her. This situation has been the worst we have ever encountered in rescue.
Thanks to so many wonderful supporters, we have had checks coming in and have met our goal! Mama is now known as Peaches, and we are treating her at home with our vet doing in home visits....we are giving subQ fluids in her back daily, nutracal, batril, vaporizer, eye drops as her membranes all dried out....but she is making progress. Unless something neurological takes place, she is on the mend. She is weak, and have ordered an appetite stimulant to be in tomorrow. Feeding the nutracal, along with a liquid diet and fluids has kept her alive. We are also supplementing with iron. She is holding her own....we are so grateful to all of those that cared so much for her and the babies. A little dog that could thanks to so many...
