We took Jessica back to the Champaign County Humane Society this morning. In a few hours she’ll be on her way to Northern Lights Sled Dog Rescue where she will be in foster care until she’s adopted. Jessica is a nice dog with good house manners. We wish her the best.
While we were at the Shelter we picked up Stewie. He had a very bad day yesterday and spent a few hours on oxygen yesterday evening. When he was taken off the oxygen his breathing became very labored. It was not clear that he would make it through the night. Shelter Manager, Michelle, took him home to care for him. Although he would not nurse from the bottle, Michelle’s housemate, Erin, was able to get Stewie to eat some baby food. He was a bit more active this morning so we brought him home to be with the litter. Despite his ordeal he only lost 2 grams yesterday. We’ll be watching him closely for the next few days.
From DeMo: So long, Jessica. I wish you the best. Stewie, we're all praying for you. I know you've got the fight in you. Keep going, little one...we all want to see you grow, thrive and find a forever home that will cherish you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Stewie's crashing and that all of the pups are now on oxygen. I am hoping for the very best for all of them. Thanks for keeping us all updated on their progress.
