Sad news on Katie

Katie and Sasha both had tumors removed during their spays.  Sasha had 3 removed, and were told today she is FINE!  However Katie has carcinoma cancer.  We have scheduled an xray for saturday to see if it has spread to lungs or anywhere.  If not they will do surgery to get clean margins and go from there.  Shocking for us - never saw that one coming. 

Update on Jenny..

update on jenny! Jenny is doing great. Her heart murmur is now a grade one at the most. The vet feels that her infection had gone to her heart and caused the murmur that the vets in GA and Castleton heard. She is good to go for her spay, dental, and eye removal on the 15th!! The vet was very pleased with the condit...ion of her heart! Her eye needs to come out but she will be good after that!


Beau will be adopted tuesday or weds. as he is healing nicely.  Penny is doing great in her new home. 

PLEASE HELP US BY CROSS POSTING OUR CHIP IN FUND- WE ARE GETTING NAILED WITH VET BILLS!  thanks!!!!

sasha, faith and katie - vetting

Sasha, faith and Katie are now done. GREAT NEWS!!!! Sasha's eye is staying put and she can see limited but she can see!!! Pressure minimal so just tell adoptive home to keep watch of the numbers every so often but all set. Sasha and Katie had tumors removed from stomach area and sent for biopsies. Faith had hernia repair. All had dentals too. So that bill Judy said was 1700+ discounted 1k!!!! Wow what a great vet!

beau - update on him

From foster mom:

Hi He is now home and doing very well He will prob go to his new home Tues or Wed of next week. His total bill for 2 visits and his surgeries totaled 1,517 and an additional bottle of clavamox. (after the initial charge) Judy...... I was convined they billed you for each visit separetly. Please double check as they said only billed the big amount at the end. and a samll charge for the clavamox. We are off to Ny tomarrow thru Mondaay. Glad he is over the worst and it is up from here He is actually playing with toys this am Nancy

From me- the vet bills are starting to come in- yikes I just think this is gonna hurt when they all start piling in.  But somehow we always survive with the donations from loving pug people.

update on beau

Hello everyone




Just to let you know that I have heard from Dr Taylor that Bo Bo has come through his surgeries with flying colors He is currently" in a Morphine induced coma like state" Resting very comfortably

He had 10 teeth removed and they had to scale off the hair wrapped around his teeth under the gum line from every remaining tooth (common in PM dogs). He was neutered. Had his paw examined and Brad did find a huge stone in his bladder and alot of sludge. The inside of his bladder is very beat up ( looked like "raw hamburger " ) TMI. He feels the bladder will heal up just fine. I have also spoken with Tina his new Mom and we have a plan to connect on Monday to plan for his adoption. A very nice lady Convinced he will be very happy with Judys choice.

The pain he has suffered over the years convinces me we have to close down all the puppy mills ! It makes me so angyy.as he is such a sweet boy.

Penny is being adopted in the am and joins a min pin/daschund mix brother marco.  She will live close by so thats a bonus:)

vet update on the kids

Daisy and Penny are pending adoption now. 

Jenny and Rosie will be going for a echocardiogram (pricey but is needed).  Then we will work on their spay/dentals.  Jenny is very infected so is on clavamox to help her out.

Beau is on clavamox for a week before dental and neuter as he has such rotten teeth. 

sasha is having her eye removed.



tiffany needs a ton of work and surgeries to help her and maggie needs soft palate surgery too.

thanks:)

update on vetting for the 9 pugs

Daisy- lost 10 teeth today in dental and had spay done
Brandy- lost 2 teeth and spay
Penny lost 2 teeth and spay and growth removed from back leg.  was going into heat so on rimadyl and antibiotics for dental ( all 3 on antibiotics).  Told to keep calm and quiet so she is confined to a crate for a couple of days till swelling goes down. She is a pretty sore kid right now.

Jenny went in today and needs:

1. Uterus is infected (smear verified)


2. Severe Dental needs most pulled-mouth also infected

3. Needs echocardiogram (can't be done at Castleton) heart issues may be due to infection in mouth being prolonged

4. Left eye globe rupture and never taken out

5. Right eye nearly blind from exposure keratitis

6. Needs blood work peri-operative

Looking into moving her to rutland vt vet to see if they can do it all there..
 
Beau going in tomorrow to vets.. more to come on them..

weds 3:50 pm update

Just got in the vet records on all 9 puggers.. ALL HW NEGATIVE!!!  yippie- huge relief!! 

they all had their dhpp, rabies, bordatella, panacur, revolution, capstar, and meds for a parasite they are all getting meds for just in case.. weights look good on most of them- between 16-20 #. 

Sasha will be having her eye removed when she arrives.  its safer and better in the long run:(. 

they will all be picked up friday afternoon/evening and staying with Chrissy the driver and leaving in the am to come north!  She will arrive Sunday Am and then we will work on moving the puggers north to various foster homes.    I will be posting them on the website very soon as I am busy all weekend and no time to do it then..

monday- pugs starting to go to vets now

Sasha and Faith went to the vets, all shots done hw test done and blood panel too and health certs and given drontal for worms.  Sasha's ulcer is deep they said.  This vet discounts 25% for rescues!  They are one of SEPRA's vets so I am so happy they are going there for these two anyhow..

Sasha needs surgery- there is no med option:( its a long standing deep ulcer.  She will be needing eye removal or corneal flap surgery ( dont know this at all).  We will have her looked at by an eye vet and see which option is best for the little girl.  She is a precious soul and just a loving little lady.  Dental for her will see lots of teeth coming out:(  typical puppymill pug.  Never cared for so their dentals are always horrid! Estimate her age to be between 5-7 yrs. old. 

Faith- mammary gland needs to be removed when she has her spay surgery, dental and hernia repair all done.  on ear meds as her ears were thoroughly gross. 

here is a pic of sasha's eye close up.. till next update tomorrow..(today) lol

hugs

rosie-black pug w/ white blaze on chest and white paw

Day two of freedom

Day two started off with Faith going to the vets for emergency vetting on her mammary as it had a cut in it and looked very bad.  They said did not feal or see any tumor but thought she had mastitis for a while to get that bad:( So shot of antibiotics and will keep an eye on it. 

Monday Sasha and Beau both going in for vetting.  Beau for recheck of his paw and Sasha is a black female with what sure looks like an ulcer so wanted it looked at asap. 

here are a couple more pugs.. meet pennie- aka wild child..

and beau from today

and daisy- all black and healthy - wet food aggressive

katie loving baby girl

9 pugs saved from miller in GA

We saved 9 pugs yesterday from a miller in GA that was going out of business! YEAH.. our pug angels that helped make this happen are Sabrina who we have worked with before to save a senior pug in GA named sebastian ( who is now one spoiled little man) and Stacey and Toni that had the daunting feat of having all the pugs there till today when they get separated into groups for fosters to pick up for the week. They will be moving to Vermont through a paid transporter this Sat and be here in brattleboro this Sunday.

Beau the lone male had a sore foot and needed to see an er vet yesterday. He was given an injectible antiobiotic that would work faster and longer and Toni was told to give him epsom baths 3x day till its looking better. He loves giving kisses and thanking people for saving him and caring for him. He is in this picture kissing on a volunteer.:)

All 9 pugs are sooo sweet and great natured. we have named them all and will introduce you to them all one by one:)

we are fundraising for the 900 transport fee. If you are on facebook, look up green mtn pug rescue and become a fan. There you will see the link to donate if you so choose- thanks!!! every bit helps!!
