Shauna in rescue

Shauna was picked up by one of our volunteers and driven to a vet that would be managing her care.   She again, was a perky girl when picked up and at that time not running a fever.   Upon arrival and after her vet check, she was determined to be running a fever but did continue to eat and drink on her own.   She is an adorable little girl and we can only hope from day to day to received favorable reports on her progress.

Meet Shauna

We received information that a pup was in need at a local shelter and had been diagnosed with potential Distemper.   Our rescue quickly went in to action and our sweet Shauna was picked up before close of business that evening and quickly taken to an emergency 24 hour hospital for care overnight.   She was a perky little girl and hopefully, she would continue to be that way.

Meet Keisha

Keisha arrived in rescue and oh what a sweet girl. She had trouble with walking when she arrived and over the next week we took x-rays, blood work, and other tests to determine what she needed to help her be more comfortable. After the x-rays were taken and the veterinarian had examined her, it was determined that she would need surgery to repair her left leg which has a torn interior cruciate ligament. She has been put on pain meds and it was also found that her thyroid level was extremely low so she is now on medication.

Jax update

Jax was taken for his MRI and spinal tap this morning by his foster mom. She has been observing him and giving good feedback on his behaviors. Upon completion of the MRI it was determined that he had lesion on his brain and he has decreased vision in his left eye. While this sounds bad, and yes, it is serious, he is able to function, eat, and actually play with another dog. He was put on a prednisone for 3 weeks and then decrease it slowly. He will go back to the neurologist in 10 days for a recheck.

Meet Jax

Jax came in to rescue in much need of help. He was blind in his left and circles to the right. He is a young boy, just barely a year, and very, very sweet. After he arrived he was checked by our veterinarian and also the neurologist to assess what we had to do to determine what would be needed for him. After their vet checks and recommendations, it was determined that he needed an MRI and spinal tap to determine how we could help him.

Dixie update

This morning I went to visit with Dixie and, wow, did I see a different pup!  Dixie received excellent care and management to help her survive this terrible disease. Many pups with parvo do not survive. She is one of the lucky ones. Thanks to Dr. Scibelli and his staff for taking such good care of her. She is active, perky, eating well, and she is almost ready to go to her foster home. She will be moved some time this week once we get everything in place. Dixie is now 2-1/2 months old and ready to start her new life. Thanks for caring.

Meet Dixie

Dixie came to us this past weekend from a local shelter after testing positive for Parvo. She needed help immediately and was brought in to rescue. I've been in touch with the vet several times daily and today I received a positive report on how she is doing. It was touch and go the last couple days, but today she seemed better and was actually eating on her own. Dixie is only 2 months old and needs lots of support and good thoughts to help her get thru this terrible disease. I will continue to update her status. These are the first pictures that we have of her, thanks to the staff at Pacific Coast Veterinary Hospital.
