Good and bad days for Debbie

Debbie continues to have her good days and her bad days. We had to take her back into the vets this past week because of bleeding sessions the previous day. She still has her periods of repeat bleeding from the nasal passage and her affected eye has sunken into the socket. This fungus has eaten the bone in that area and she has no use of that eye now. She continues to be a happy friendly girl and it is so sad to watch what this has done to her. She continues to go for walks to the park and beach, rides in the car and get lots of fresh air with her foster mom who has been so patient with her situation.

Just when we think she will be able to go on the main site as available for adoption, she has a setback. This poor girl needs a forever home that will love her unconditionally even with all the ravages that this infection has done to her.

Camille is pain-free!

I went to visit with Camille and see how well she was doing after her surgery. She was so happy to see me and enjoying going out for her walk. She is finally without pain and healing quite well. Amazingly also, she is able to hear if you make a loud noise.  I had been lead to understand that she would be almost deaf due to the surgery but it had been later explained to me that she will be capable of hearing some and will not be totally deaf.  She's a sweet girl, very easy to take on her walks and being an excellent patient in her recovery.

Camille recovering from extensive surgery

I drove to the vet clinic where Camille is this morning to visit with her.  She was resting comfortably, as you can see, and I did not go in and wake her up.  I will check back later this week to visit with her.  She had a long surgery yesterday that was quite extensive.  I am very thankful for the feedback that I received from both Dr. Scibelli and Dr. Frankel who performed the surgery. They even found a foxtail that had traveled way into her inner ear.  She had experienced years and years of neglect with this outcome.  I am so thankful for GRCGLA Rescue's support in helping Camille receive this operation and a chance at a new life. The public's support is so important in helping our dogs find a new home and a new life.

Camille heads into surgery

Camille is now ready for her surgery today. She has been in quite a lot of pain with the ear condition that she has. It is necessary for this extensive operation to happen so that she will have a life that is pain free. This poor girl has spent many years not knowing what it is like to not have this painful condition that was left untreated for so long.  I will be sending updates as she is in the recovery process and she gets ready to be posted as available for adoption.

Camille joins GRCGLAR

Camille came into rescue a week ago with such severely infected ears that she will require surgery to relieve her pain.  She apparently has been in this condition for years.  She had come into the shelter 2 years ago with infected ears and the owners came and got her.  Well, well, she was back this year with the condition even worse.  As you can see from this picture of her ear, she needed our help.  Updates will be sent as we progress with her treatment.

Another checkup for Debbie...

This terrible fungal infection is still being treated.  She is doing well, happy, playful, loves her toys and loves to go hang out at the park with her foster mom.  Debbie is just the best girl and everyone who meets her falls in love immediately.  She is still on the antifungal medication.  There has been bone loss around her eye but her face is not as swollen as previously. Occasionally she has still had her sneezing episodes, more so when she first gets up and after resting for a while.  I am so thankful that her foster parents have been there for her this whole time.  She never would have done this well without their help.  Thank you for your support and for caring.

Debbie improves!

Debbie is doing so much better lately.  Here is a photo of her at a local beach area enjoying the ocean breezes and all the attention from everyone that sees her.   She has another checkup in two weeks so will keep our fingers crossed that she continues to improve and get better. Thanks for your notes and for caring.
