🩻Happy Marvelous Case Monday!🩺 This one is a tear jerker.🥹 We've seen a lot of Cooper recently. His parents were fantastic enough to get him lar par corrective surgery so he didn't suffocate with time. But, a common complication is pneumonia from aspiration and we saw him for just that assumption. He was doing well on antibiotics until we got a late call several days after for him acting very odd. Some of the staff had already gone home but they returned because his condition was complex. After some xrays, we learned his stomach was bloated, possibly working on a fatal twist- gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV).

GDV requires immediate medical attention or the patient will die. Even with treatment, mortality can be as high as 50%. No one was ready to give up on Cooper but surgical correction wasn't possible. 💔💔

So we placed a needle in the belly (trochar) to release air for pain relief then we placed a tube down him to ensure if there was any twist in the stomach, it wouldn't be for long.

Cooper did well and was more himself the next day at his recheck. His smile was back and and he even tried to jump up on the counter to greet us!! GDV is terrible and it can occur again but at least Cooper lived through the night and is still spending quality time with his family. We are rooting for him. 🩵

It's always an honor to be part of the village. 💗💗

We want to extend a huge thank-you to Wallingford Animal Control for donating much-needed cages to our organization, and to Mount Carmel Veterinary Hospital for making the connection happen.

Our intention has always been to grow and expand our shelter so we’d finally have enough space for adoptables, hoarding cases, and a proper isolation room for medical needs. , but with nearly $20,000 in debt, we’re forced to put future plans on hold and focus on getting our footing back.

We’re hopeful that our supporters will continue to give when they can, because every contribution helps us move closer to the future we’re fighting for — one where we can save even more lives.

PLEASE HELP DONATE IF YOU CAN!

Did you know the CDC reports 2/3 of the antibiotics in people weren't required (unnecessary or no indication for)!! That's crazy! And disappointing. 💔💔💔

📈MRSA and other scary infections are on the rise, because of unnecessary inappropriate drug use.

Thankfully, some doctors and veterinarians obey antibiotic stewardship to protect animals and people, in hopes to lower these scary infections- don't give them a hard time when they don't hand over the pills !!

Croissant is starting to come out of her shell after she was returned. Stretched legs are a content sign from cats. 🥰🥰

She's looking for her forever home, again. 😔😔 She tolerates respectful dogs and cats. She's polite, quiet and gentle.

🤞🏾🙏🤞🏾PLEASE share and visit Project Precious Rescue, Inc. at www.pprct.org if interested.

Your spine would do creepy crawlies if people knew what some family members have asked us to do after the owner passed. 🥺🥺😢😭

Make a plan, with a reliable relative or friend that will honor it.

We spent some time recently with the kiddos at Smart Start.👶 They gave some great answers on how to take care of pets including daily walks, combing hair and brushing teeth. They knew more than us actual owners!🤣 Ryder did all the tricks for treats- they loved Bluey's real life cousin. 💙🩵
