The four little survivors. Their mom Stellaluna and cousin Quill also survived. These guys look a little rough, but their coats will come back. Their prognosis is excellent now, with only Sweethearts (first puppy on the left) having possible future implications owing to needing some super heavy duty antibiotics which can affect growth. They are now 14 weeks old, so charmingly gawky. I’m grateful for the work of the vets and staff at Vogel Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital, the only non-corporate animal specialty hospital in NH. The cost of saving them, all six, was $62,283.91. Plus my own vets, specialty supplies, special vaccines, care for the younger babies, and so forth. So the original estimate was a bit optimistic. Except for Gecko and El Paso (AKA Beto) whose treatment was a little over 2k each. Sweethearts was over 20k. So a bit of a range. I didn’t get the last of the invoices until today. I’m going to try to find a job to help pay off the remaining bill. I’ve knocked it down by about a third, with help from those who chipped in. That doesn’t include the GoFundMe, though. I have to figure out how that works still. Mostly what I do is care for everyone and disinfect over and over and over again. My property may not be safe for puppies again for years. If I could, I would bulldoze it and move away.

Isn’t this a great photo? Two Errigal boyos. Can you share pics in comments? It would cheer me up this year. I’ll update on what’s happening this weekend. Meanwhile, happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Good news: baby puppies seem better and all are eating now, even Mister Just Ducky. I remain vigilant, but I a very grateful.

Bad news: Ivy is having seizures so we’re off to the vet’s. She’s an 10 year old Padraig and Ella daughter.

This is a video I made last night, of the baby puppies. Tonight I’m desperately worried about them, as the biggest one seems off. It could be just a reaction to the vaccine, but I think at this point I don’t feel that lucky. I’m not sure what to do. They’re too young for the treatments. I feel sick.

Update: something to be thankful for: Quill seems all right now. I think she was freaked out over Pinky’s death, which happened right in front of her. Quill is very sensitive. She was Miss Sweethearts in the 11/22 Rhys-Eilidh litter. This is especially good because my Highlander is dead in the driveway. No word from the veterinary hospital yet, but I’m hoping Stellaluna and the puppies are improving. Sweethearts may have turned a corner yesterday, she was the first and worst stricken of the puppies. Please, if you can, share the Go Fund Me. I don’t even want to say what the bill is now.
