❤️ LITTLE SADIE UPDATE ❤️
Yesterday, several of you tagged us or sent screenshots of an urgent plea for help for a very fragile puppy. Because you made sure we saw her, we were able to welcome little Sadie to B-Squad and get her seen by the wonderful team at All City Pet Care South and ER. Thank you for helping connect her with the care she desperately needed.
Because her previous owner had reported possible seizures, the ER team immediately checked her blood sugar and tested her for parvo. Her blood sugar was normal, and her initial parvo SNAP test was negative—two welcome pieces of news.
But this little girl has a lot going on. Sadie is malnourished, has a heavy load of parasites and gastrointestinal issues, and arrived with crusted, cloudy blue eyes. She is also fighting adenovirus.
A little explanation: the form of canine adenovirus associated with “blue eye” causes infectious canine hepatitis, a contagious illness that can affect the liver, eyes, and other organs. It can be especially serious for young puppies, and routine vaccinations help protect against it.
Sadie went home with a medical foster yesterday, where she began fluids under the skin, a carefully paced feeding plan, and medications to address her medical needs. The next 14 days will involve quarantine and close monitoring, with her veterinary team guiding how long isolation needs to continue. We will also be watching for signs of other serious infections, including parvo and distemper, which can occur alongside adenovirus.
And this morning? We are already seeing little glimpses of that puppy personality coming back. 🥹 Her favorite thing right now is being snuggled on the couch, and we are more than happy to accommodate. She has plenty of healing ahead, but those little moments give us hope.
We have stayed in contact with the person who reached out for help, sharing updates and documenting Sadie’s condition and care should Animal Control need that information. We will also be working with them to get Sadie’s parents spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations—helping this little family now while preventing future litters and protecting their health.
Our ability to respond to emergencies depends on available funds and foster homes. We cannot say yes every time, but we are grateful we could say yes to Sadie. ❤️
