*PT Prayers please for a dieing Mother Dog and 6 puppies*

[Aspen and Misty]

While browsing PT I found a thread in Dog Rescue posted by AngelEyez1982 about a stray Chow and her 6 puppies found in her neighborhood - Here is the thread - http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...threadid=72974

Anyway, my sister lives in Myrtle Beach SC about 2 hours from where she lives. My sister is coming down next Friday for my fathers wedding and as most of you know I own an animal rescue. My sister agreed to bring the dog to me and I contacted Krystal (AngelEyez1982) and we set up a time for my sister and her to meet.

My sister picked up the dog on Saturday and made the trip home. The Chow was skinny and apeared it be old, but other whys seemed in good health. My sister took her for a long, half hour walk and when they came home they noticed she was bleeding from her hind end. My sister called the E-vet because her normal vet was closed. The E-vet said it could be nothing since she just had puppies only 5 days ago. My sister did not take the dog in at the time but later the Chow began to bleed heavily. My sister called the vet and said that she was brigining in the Chow and her 6 puppies. The vet took one look at the dog and said that he wanted to run blood test for heartworm. Sadly, the Chow tested positive for heartworms and is in the most adavanced stages of the dieses. Not only does she have heartworm, but she has ringworm and roundworm also. We are not sure how much longer she will live, or if she will live, but things are not looking good for her or her six puppies.

My sister asked the vet if she will be able to finish nursing her puppies and he said "Lets Hope"

We aren't sure what is going to happen, the Chow is going to my sisters normal vet on Monday (he sees alot of heartworm cases ). We will see then what is best for the mom and pups. If the mom is in alot of pain, we will go ahead and put her down and bottle feed the puppies. We are hopeing and praying she can finish nursing the puppies.

Please keep the mom, her six puppies, my sister and me in your prayers. My sister is working hard to keep the mom comfortable and get her the help she needs. I am working hard to pay the bills for this since my sister is just a foster home. Last nights bill totaled to $180.00, tomrrow will bring another vet bill and the puppies need heartworm medicine, rignworm medicine and round worm medicine when they get to be 8 weeks old plus all there normal shots. Thankfully, right now my dad is useing his cedit care to pay over the phone for the bills and he is allowing me to slowly pay him back. I only have a part time job though so it may take me awhile. No matter what though the mom and puppies will get the best help there is.

Thanx for letting me ramble and thanx ahead of time for the prayers, we all apreciate it during this hard time,
Ashley

And the vet bills Soar -
I am now $408.00 in "debt" to my dad. I don't know how I'm going to pay for this.

And momma gets worse -
She has been eating regular, Chicken Soup, puppy food since Saturday. My sisters normal vet did X-rays on her today and we found out that she isn't passing it. It is all sitting in her intestines and stomach. She now on a special food and more medcine for it. We also found out some good news, her kidneys aren't failing on her. We also found out some bad news, she is definitly in the most advanced stage of it and could have a heart attack. She is not to exersise and isn't to get stressed out.

We still don't know what is going to happen. We might put momma To sleep this friday since she is so sick and bring the puppies up here to be bottle fed. Or we might leave them down there and see how long momma lives (as long as she isn't in pain) and then pick them up over easter. Either way doesn't sound good to me. I want momma to live and the babies to be healthy. I have been crying almost all day because of this. These poor, sweet inocent babies and momma.

I will keep you all updated on what happens, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers still
