Dogs In Need

If for some reason the surgery for a particular dog doesn't occur within 60 days, the funds donated for that surgery will go back into our general fund to help the next dog in need.  Thank you for helping us help all these dogs in need!

Update: 4-4-12

Bianca is awake and doing great! I just spoke to the doctor. The murmur from the
PDA (hole in her heart) is GONE. She will always have a mild pulmonic stenosis
(heart murmur), but the doctor redid her echo today when she was totally sedated and
decided it was too mild to do the balloon procedure (like angioplasty). I respect
him so much for doing this, as he took the time to reexamine, because the murmur was exacerbated by the blood flow from the PDA (hole). She will stay until tomorrow
night, then go home to her fosters, and go back for another echo in a few weeks. A
GOOD day for Bianca.

Thank you for making this miracle possible with your support
and prayers!

UPDATE: March 12, 2012

Thank you so much for your kind words and concern. Thank God Scarlett is home and
doing ok. It will be a while before she is back to her old self, but her appetite
has not been affected at all. The instructions they gave me when we left the
hospital stated that she may have bloody urine and need to urinate more frequently
than usual. Well, that is an understatement. Ugh! She can't seem to hold her urine
at all yet and it's more than a little bloody. It's disconcerting, to say the least,
and I hope it eases up soon. Her spirits are very good though and she is resting
comfortably. I've been doing my best to keep the house very quiet and keep her as
calm and still as possible. You're right that we have been through a lot together,
and I am very thankful that I can be here for her and nurse her back to health. I
couldn't imagine having to go to work and leave her now! It's just amazing how
everything always seems to work out for the best. :)

I am so very touched by the concern of so many people at The Mosby Foundation,
people who don't even know me. It has been an incredible experience and you have
been there with me through it all. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart.

I will definitely be in touch to let you know of Scarlett's progress. I'm praying
the surgery was a complete success.

Have a great weekend!

We are home. :) Scarlett is resting as comfortably as possible with a plastic cone
on her head, but she seems happy to be home and her appetite is just fine. LOL Her
belly looks very sore and she is shaved from the top of her rib cage to her private
parts. :( She has staples that will have to be removed in 2 weeks.

Thanks so much!

GREAT news about Scarlett! Her surgery went very well and she did fantastic through
the night and is eating well already (shocker for a Lab! haha). She will be able to
come home this afternoon. The vet said that the surgery was not as extensive as it
could have been and she is cautiously optimistic that the leakage will stop. I don't
know the amount of the final bill, but I think we will have enough to pay the whole
bill since she only had to stay one night and only one side of her bladder had a
problem. I'll let you know all the details after I go there this afternoon. I am so,
so relieved, so thank you very much for all of your help!!!

Many Thanks to ALL those who helped!

Malick has been seen by several specialist and it was decided not to do surgery at this time. He will most likely need an FHO surgery and scar tissue removed from his colon at a later date.

2-3-2012
I'm so glad to report that Malick can now go outside for several hours as he sits and watches the ducks and birds stroll & swim.
