Making a Difference!
The unthinkable has happened. Cleo's 7 and these guys broke with parvo last week. We have started using the monoclonal antibodies with the parvo virus. It is expensive, but cheaper than hospitalization. Sub-q fluids are used if necessary, and oral meds are given. The parvo strain is stronger and quicker now. We must act immediately if the pups have a chance.
I didn't get the bigger pups until Friday, and we lost Sweet Pea last night. π©
The whole irresponsible owners' situation in this country is despicable. Just let your dog or cat get pregnant. Give them away; let them get in the road and run over; let them get parvo or distemper and just let them die. And, don't sterilize the females, and continue to let them reproduce. π‘ Yet, rescues are expected to help as soon as someone "hollers." Meanwhile, we do everything we can to save them. I am fortunate that I have only lost one, but the vet bills are staggering. The money we raised for Cleo's pups is a HUGE blessing. (We will not receive that money from Facebook until the end of August.)
However, that does not help the other litter. We seldom ask for donations often, but when we do, it is for veterinary expenses. It is difficult to say no, but for the sake of "staying afloat," it has become necessary.
After years of rescue, apathy has become rampant. There is nothing taking place to make this change.
There are no regrets for helping these precious lives, but it has taken a toll on this rescuer.
Any donation is most appreciated. Their bill is over $1000. We will get through this, but definitely some time for reflection and reevaluation. Please continue to pray for PPOH and for those who do not have a rescue fighting for them. ππΎππΎ
Have a blessed Monday!!
