North carolina pups are here! UPDATE POST #31

[Reachoutrescue]

First, I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas, for those on here that celebrate it, for those who don't, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Now for the update. I am sorry it has taken me a bit to get back here, my internet was down for a few days and things have been just crazy.

We really thought all the pups were in the clear and safe from breaking with Parvo, but tonight I am not so sure. Two of the pups, Hardy and Sunny had really liquidy poop.....not like them at all. They are still eating and drinking, so it may just be a bug. They do share a kennel, so I am not positive which pup left me the nice mess to clean up. I am thinking it was both as it was several piles. Either way it was really gross and I am very worried. I will start them both on fluids to help keep them hydrated.

Gracin is doing well. All full of energy and loving life again!! He is barely coughing anymore and eating a ton!!

Smidge the cat lost her babies. I went in the room to see her on Friday morning and she was covered in blood, urine, and poop. I knew she lost the babies as her belly was gone. I cleaned her up and took her in to the vet. She lost all the babies and is not doing very well. She is here with me and getting fluids. She is on meds for infection, but it looks grim as she refuses to eat. The vet said there is nothing they can do there besides what I am doing here. She said to see how she is in a day or two and we may just have to put her down. Poor girl is only a kitten herself. She did test negative for FELV/FIV. Prayers for her and the pups please.

If it is not one thing, it is another. Just when we think things look better, they get so much worse.

I will keep praying for the dogs and for Smidge the kitten.

Thank you for the prayers. Gracin is all better and may be being (paws crossed) adopted on Friday.

Smidge is now eating and drinking. She is doing so great! The vet feels she only lost one or two kittens as she said she can still feel a few in there. She wants us to do an ultrasound in about a week to be sure all is well.

I am so glad they are doing better, especially Smidge, I was, and still am, worried about her.

Thank you for caring about these babies.

I'm so happy you saved some! Good luck Gracin in your possible new home!

I just wanted to update everybody. Gracin is doing great and was adopted last weekend. He is in a wonderful home with a 3/4 acre yard in Beecher, IL!! Sunny, the little retriever mix pup was also adopted last weekend to a wonderful family with a HUGE house in Darian, IL. That leaves us with 4 more pups to find homes for!!

Though we did lose 4 of the pups, at least we were able to save the other 8, the adult, Cocoa (who is being looked at next weekend! Fingers and paws crossed!), and Smidge the cat. Her update is in Cat General. She is doing very well.

I will keep you all updated on the remaining rescued pups and the ones who have been adopted. Thank you for all of your prayers and kind thoughts.

Here are a couple of pictures of a few pups their new homes. Enjoy!!

Marley, now known as Pebbles, with her new sisters, Wilma and Betty. They all like to cram into one kennel!

Gracin, now known as Bobcat.


Just lounging!


Leelo, now known as Jaya (pronounced Jah-uh) and her sister Lilly.


Jaya likes to snuggle with Lilly! That spot on Lilly's head is a growth that her owners are having removed at the end of the month.

They're beautiful! I'm so glad they're doing better! I hope the Darien family registers Sunny for PT
