Today was vet day. Our entire vet staff was so excited to be able to hold each and every baby that we all saved together. What a full circle moment to not have only been able to save Mama, but all of her babies. All the babies have been vaccinated, microchipped, and we did a f***l. Hearts and lungs are good and all the babies are healthy.
Lady firefly came into rescue and within 48 hours had to have a C-section. During that surgery, she was also spayed but while she was under, we discovered that she had a ruptured uterus that was bleeding internally and she had a lot of infection in her body. Her puppies are so lucky that they made it and I’m so grateful to my vet staff for working so hard to help me save not only these Puppies and mom but every single puppy that we are so blessed to Rescue.
Today, unfortunately we discovered that lady firefly has a mass on her lymph node and she had a biopsy. We will not know much more until we get the results of that. It can be a few weeks to receive them. To say I’m saddened is an understatement. This senior dog has gone through so much including a pregnancy that her body could not handle. She had to have her ears cleaned out today and she also had to receive an anabiotic injection. We also found out that her bottom row of teeth is sheared off. sometimes this can happen from being in a kennel and chewing the bars to get out. due to them being flat and sharp, they have caused some damage to her upper gun line, which is rather inflamed right now this could be the cause for the mass or it could be an entirely separate thing so until we get results from her biopsy, we will have to wait to figure out the next steps. Today’s vet appointment was almost $1000 and if you would like to donate towards their care, it would mean so much to us. You can find all the ways to donate in our Instagram bio or below thank you so much for supporting Lady firefly, her babies and our Rescue.
