Milani update

Milani had her first ear surgery (total ear canal ablation) this week. We were hoping to get both ears done, but the damage was so extensive that the vet decided it was safer to do one at a time. She’s recovering nicely so far, and will hopefully have the other side done in about two weeks.

Milani scheduled for ear surgery

Meet Milani, a sweet 5-year-old girl who is one of those unfortunate Goldens to suffer from chronic ear infections. Dog that have long standing ear infections can develop irreversible damage to the ear canals, and for Milani, both ear canals have become so swollen and scarred that she is going to need ear canal ablation surgery on both ears. Her ear canals will be removed and this should solve any problems with infections in the future. Although her hearing may be affected, she’ll feel better and should be a much happier dog. She’s scheduled for surgery in a couple of weeks and we’ll let you know how she’s doing.

Setback for Button

Our “cute as a Button” has had a setback! She was doing great and enjoying life in her foster home, but due to her compromised immune system she contracted a mild case of Parvo! Thankfully we caught it early and her symptoms weren’t too severe. But, her demodex mange has gotten worse through her illness. Please send good thoughts and wishes for Button (she’s pretty itchy and uncomfortable right now). Despite all this, she's as loving and spunky as ever and charms everyone she meets.

Button update

Button’s skin is really improving! We have learned that her right eye has entropion, so she’ll need surgery to correct this. We’ve had a number of pups come through the rescue with this problem – its where the bottom eyelid rolls in and the eyelashes rub against the cornea – very painful! But she's not letting it bother her and absolutely adores playing and sleeping with her foster brother, and even likes to watch TV. As soon as her mange is clear (hopefully in about two to three weeks) she’ll get her eye lift and spay and be ready to find her forever home.

Murphy ready for adoption!

Murphy has successfully recovered from Parvo and is now recuperating from his neuter surgery. He’s ready to find his forever home! He’s a loving boy who thinks he’s a lap dog, but hasn’t had much exposure to the world so will need some love and patience to teach him the world isn’t all that scary.

Cute as Button

Button is a 5-month-old petite girl we found in a shelter. She came in with a bad case of demodex mange on her face which we are treating her for. She’ll be getting medicated baths, antibiotics and additional medication to help clear up her skin. She’s a friendly girl with lots of personality and energy.

Murphy diagnosed with Parvo

Murphy is a 1-year-old boy who was abandoned at a vet’s office after he was diagnosed with Parvo. We were able to get him into rescue and our vet is treating him with fluids and antibiotics. His prognosis is good and hopefully he’ll be ready to go to a foster home soon.
