Puppy is home…

Just a quick update… Evee is home, but she’s very weak and sick. She spent three days at the hospital and started to turn a corner towards the positive responding to some of the care. But as little pup, she needed a lot more touching and holding and comfort so that she wouldn’t just kind of waste away or give up. She’s still not eating a lot on her own, we need to feed her, but she’s drinking on her own and sleeping better now. Someone has her all the time and she is very content to snooooze a good time and heal up. Jessy is very happy to have her home and in her care.

It’s been a hard week, and also thrown in the mix I had three gigs this week and we’ve got an Opry tomorrow. Got another gig on Saturday coming up, so it’s been a wild month. I’m hoping that Wednesday and Thursday will be nice days and I’ll be able to get a little time off and do a bit of gardening and yard work. We’ve got rain coming Monday and Tuesday and then again on the weekend, so that’s about all the time I’ll have. It’s been still a bit cold and so rainy, so I’m not too worried about getting the garden in full tilt. The stuff in the cold frames is getting really big and doing nicely. I’ll shoot some photos real soon!

Puppy Update

DSC_0188

Jessy just called and checked on the pup… she’s gotten two pouches of puppy juice (fluids) and they just got her to take a few tablespoons of puppy chow mush. They said she was getting loved on by everyone and that she was being a little more alert and responding well to the treatments. We’ll be calling in the morning to see how she is, but I hope that she’ll be coming home with us soon. They want to make sure that she gets back to eating a little more regularly, and drinking on her own.

Sound good and we’re waiting on some bloodwork as well to rule out any sort of infection that might need some antibiotics or other treatment. They just wanted to make sure that her white blood count was normal, not low or elevated abnormally, to indicate something else was wrong.

It’s good, but cautious news and hopefully in the morning we’ll know a little more. The super kind folks at Sylvania Vet are really doing a wonderful job of taking care of little princess Evee.

Sick Puppy

Evee’s at the doggie hospital and has to stay overnight.

Jessy is really worried and sad, and we’re trying to stay busy tonight.

The little pup started to just crash, she’s not eating or drinking, and she’s just having a rough time. Thank goodness the parvo test came back negative, so hopefully she’s clear of that, but in the meanwhile, she’s got to stay and get IV fluids and a very strong worming med. She has round worm and hook worm. It’s very apparent that the folks that sold her to us had not done anything in the worming schedule for pups and most likely, the rest of the litter is sick now. Not pleasant.

If you have a little room in your thoughts and prayers, would you send a few along for Jess and her little rug rat? We’re gonna need them, to get her feeling better and to pay the bill! And after just spending a good deal on Gypsy the day before, this is really hit us hard. We’ll make it, no worry, but still, just tough. We were leaving the vets and both of us were a little teary… told Jessy that it’s both scarey and wonderful how much you can love a little cutie pie of an animal in a heartbeat. She’s in very good care and our vet even happens to be on call tonight so she can check on her and stay with the whole night through. We’ll call in a few hours and see how the first round of fluids did to help her out. They’re doing some blood work as well to make sure she doesn’t have any sort of infection or that sort of thing.

Poor little Evee baby…. and Jess too!
