Helping Jonny Walker

[pomtzu]

I wish I could, trust me. But she's all the way over in Delaware!!!

Cindy - I am totally blown away by the generosity of your friend Brandi. I wish I knew where in Delaware she lives - I would personally visit her and give her the biggest hug anyone could imagine. What a wonderful person she is to do this.

Laura - your part in this is amazing also - to take time out to go see Jonny - or at least go to the clinic to deliver all the well wishes in person. Amazing!

I don't believe that I've ever seen such a response as this, in the time that I have been a PT member. I am so proud to be part of this community of wonderful, caring and compassionate people. As promised, I will also make a donation when I receive my August check.

We're all pulling for you Jonny. Get better soon, and know that people from all over the world are in your corner and praying for a full recovery. Gentle {{{hugs}}} from the crew here in Delaware.........

Hey Kev and Jason,

This is absolutely amazing! People from around the world have responded. Every time I turn on the computer, there is another post. It brings tears to my eyes, along with a huge smile on my face. I will be sending in some more money today as I got paid. I cannot wait for JW to get home. I am keeping copies of all of the responses, and making up a scrapbook for keepsake. The cards are so cute. To all PT'rs, Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center Staff, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Prayers and loving good wishes for Jonny Walker. It is so nice to read of all the love and care and assistance being sent to him.

What kind of people are these who have brought up their CHILDREN to do things like that to a sweet, friendly, helpless animal?

I just lit a candle for this dear doggie: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=11246062

I havn't read through all the pages yet but I hope that little b*stard gets whats coming.
I will cross post this through fb since I have a lot of rescue friends .

Who is going to take Johnny after?
Surely he will need to stay somewhere to get better and if he's got beaten before I would want to see him being safe somewhere.

I know the thread is long, but I am so glad Jonny is doing well, and thanks, buttercup - the more people who hear about this, the better!

Yes, the perpetrators have been charged, and the justice system will hopefully prevail. And yup, Jonny will be an inside doggy - maybe alternating between his three families!

buttercup Jonny has a "Big Family" he was adopted by the 3 families that was feeding him before this happened. Jonny is going to be an inside member of our Families. He will be taken care of by the Mulvey's, The Vogel's, and the Sibley's.

Sort of a shared "custody" sort of thing then. He should have a lot of
people directly caring for him while he heals. That's good. It should make
it cheaper to pay for his reguar needs too, like food, flea, heartworm meds,
and any thing else that comes up. JW is a lucky boy.

I'm so glad to hear that his surgery went well and that he'll most likely be going home on Thursday. This is wonderful news!!!

Johnny's surgeries today went fine. He had two teeth pulled and now he can close his mouth more. He was also neutered at the same time, under the same anesthesia. Dr Anemone Andronescu along with Dr. Kergosien did the surgery.
I spoke with both of them today.
I also met with Dr. Arceneaux this am when he arrived about the heartworm treatment. He volunteered his consult to the case.
He stated that the plan is to continue with the Heartgard medication.
There is an injectable medication that is given for heartworms however the way it was explained to me is as follows:

Heartgard will prevent new larvae heartworms from forming.
This treatment will continue over the next three months.
The injectable medication will be given in three months because the injectable medication kills off adult heartworm larvae. The three month period will allow any young larvae that are existing now to mature so that when the injectable medication is given, it will kill all larvae. (Basically this gives the young larvae time to mature so that the injectable medication works on all that are present). The Heartgard prevents new (young) larvae from forming.
Then a test is done to check for any remaining parasites.

He will have some activity restrictions when the injectable medication is given and he will be able to have this done either with us or at a general practice clinic.

I believe Dr. Arceneaux also ordered an additional lab test today regarding the heart worm testing.

Now remember, I am not a veterinarian so I am transposing the information that was explained to me this am by Dr Arceneaux.

Johnny had a bath too. He is eating and drinking and sleeping on his back.

The plan is to discharge him this Thursday, July 29th at 12:00 noon. This will give him one more day to be monitored post surgery that was done today.

I left a message for Science Diet today. I received a return call but I was in a meeting when they called back. Will call them again on Wednesday.

No donations received today via calls or mail. Total collected remains at $4005 as it was yesterday. I will get with our accounting manager on Wednesday afternoon for a review of all charges to be sure everything is entered. (Some times the charges are entered the day following the procedures).

Everything is going as planned. Will update again on WEdnesday pm.

Our doctor who uploads the pictures taken in the clinic to facebook and to email addresses was off today so I could not send any pictures today. She should be present on WEdnesday. I will get with her then.

Sorry I've been so late in posting, but I've been keeping up with JW's story. I'm so glad that he's doing so well. He's won my heart too. I love that he sleeps on his back and wags his tail so furiously! He's been in my prayers.

[Jonny-Walker]

Hey everyone,
I can't wait till JonnyWalker comes home! Its been too long. Some people around the community are helping with some supplies for Jonny Walker. Jonny's has a bed on the way along with a dog house and a run. All of us are Counting down the minutes. He does have a huge family that he is coming back to and that is awesome! He'll have all the lovin he needs! We are hoping that all these news channels and interviews and everyone spreading the word that if this happens again, they do have people in this world who care and will do what they must to see them to justice.

Jonny keep up the good work! We all love you very much .

I'm am so glad to hear that JW will be home soon. Poor guy has been through so much already. PT is so amazing as well as Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center.

My prays are coming for everyone who has donated, said a pray or sent thoughts, and anyone who has cared.

I hope those kids will get punished somehow and this is just a thought that came into my head but can you get a protection order for JW so that those kids are never allowed near him again?

My prays again that JW will heal without any complications.
