Two New Rescue Pups. SAD UPDATE 2/11/07

[Reachoutrescue]

Today one of my foster moms and I pulled 4 puppies from an Indiana shelter. One is in her care at her home, one is staying with my brother, and the other two are here. Here are a few pics of the ones I have here. They are 9 wk old Beagle mix pups. Our pup Dozer is twice there size and he is only 10 wks....it is soooo funny watching them play. The pups have been given their first vaccination and will go in for their second and to be altered in three weeks. They need some new names... Right now their names are Barney and Brenda...I want to change those, any suggestions??

On with the pictures...

This is Brandy. She loves Dozer's rope toy. Don't mind the stains on my carpet. We clean them every month, but they just get messy again....

She loves that rope!!

Here is Barney wrestling with Dozer....see the size difference?

This is the best picture I was able to snap of them...they are not very photogenic!!

I can't name them Scruffy, because our dog is Scruff. Thanks though!!

Well the two pups are sick. They are coughing, well more like hacking alot. They have thrown up a bit and have soft stools. Their gums are a bit pale too. The males nose is a bit runny and was crusty this evening. I cleaned him up and gave them some food, but they would not eat. I offered them some turkey lunch meat and the male ate it, but the female did not. I am taking them into the vet tomorrow at noon. They were vaccinated on January 23rd, at the other shelter, for distemper/parvo, but not bordetella. I sure hope they are okay. I am leaning towards kennel cough or the start of pnemonia...but hopefully it is not that serious. I still need names if anybody has any suggestions. I do like Indy and Ana though. I will post tomorrow after their appointment.

Well, I just got back from the vet. The pups do have Kennel Cough. They were given a antibiotic shot, were dewormed, and are now on Amox. for 10 days. They are not eating, so the vet said to give them baby food through a suringe (can't spell today!) until they feel better. He also gave them some stuff to help harden up their stool. Just wanted to let you all know.

I just wanted to update everybody on the puppies we pulled. Well, it turns out that it was Kennel Cough, but it also was Parvo. Brenda died on Thursday. Barney is currently at the animal hospital being treated, but it is not looking good for him. They were very far gone by the time I even got them. It is weird though, because they were so perky on Sunday, then Monday it changed. By Thursday they were helpless. I did all I could by giving them fluids and their antibiotics, but I still feel guilty. If the doctor only did a Parvo test...I even asked him if it could be Parvo and he said "no it's kennel cough"....boy was he wrong. I will never go there again. This is too much. I just went through this in December. It is very hard. I know that it is part of doing rescue, but it is so hard. Well, I just wanted to update everybody.

I am so sorry to hear about the Parvo outbreak, it is such a tough thing to get rid of.

I have used and still swear by a product called Kenic Parvo-lan. I get mine through Jeffers pet supply. I use it all over my house.

Hugs to you and to your guys that they stay healthy!
