Q: Really Really Depressing

i was up til 3:30 throwing up
blah
anyways so this morning i get up to check my email and a local rescue group called PAWmatch contacted me (you may have herd of them whereever you live they are all over the US and they are the ones that sit outside of petsmart and petco with the puppies on the weekends)
so their adoption director says she has a litter of 7 puppies with demodectic mange that were thrown out of the bed of a moving truck on the freeway.
so she then says that PAWmatch is overwhelmed and needs help with other groups to take a few of the puppies. well i told her id be glad to help
she writes back: (her email as follows)
The vet told me yesterday that the two smallest puppies may not live, they're quite thin and I know they've had a hard time (I am very sad about this). If you don't mind, since you guys are a rescue group, I'd like to give you, and the gentleman you've been talking to the two runts. That way, if anything does happen, you're equipped to handle it. Because the other people who have volunteered to take puppies aren't with groups, and might adopt later, and if such is the case I don't want to give them a puppy that might not make it.
so i told her of course i would take the two runts that might not live...im really depressed about this. im going to try and save their lives but what if i cant? what if the puppies dont make it?
i just dont have a good feeling and im really scared that something will happen and they wont make it. and my hormones are all crazy and i feel like poop and i just wanna cry...
ill take pics of the pups when they get here and post them

| calm down. stressing over everything is not gonna help you keep your baby in you longer since u say you could go into labor early.
if the puppies dont make it atleast you tried. |
thanks jaime
im not going to stress over it and im going to just try my best
ive got the vet clinic on call too in case anything happens and they dont seem like they will make it then we will just take them there and let the vet decide what needs to be done

| Bah...I just posted but it didn't show up.
She looks pretty good for all she's gone through. Will you have to put meds on her mange? Where is her mange? Will she need a cone? She probably misses her litter mates. I hope she makes it, I really think she will. Her eyes are nice and bright. Who's paw is in the lower right hand corner? |
lol the paw belongs to travis friends puppy george
shes on meds for her mange and pawmatch supplied me with her medication for the next two weeks
she has to have meds for 3 months and they will supply me with everything
shes extremely small
she weighs 2 pounds
the vet thinks she is a chiweenie mix
but isnt sure
shes got a bump on her head thats been bleeding but its healing up
she only has one patch of mange behind her ear its really small
its demodectris (sp?) mange or i think thats what its called...demodec something lol
shes got horrible diarea but thats due to her medication and stress
shes really sweet and she loves to play with stuffed animals it seems
the only thing is she needs to be on someone sleeping or she freaks out
its amazeing how animals can forgive humans even after theyve been treated so horribly
she does have beautiful bright eyes!
the vet says compared to the other puppies her siblings shes way to small and skinny
but its not as bad as ive seen it

yeah its wierd all the puppies in her little look dofferent?
she has very short legs and a long body
i see the dashound but i have no idea lol
a few of the pups look boxerish and then one is tricolored with long hair
then theres a few light tan puppies (they had the mange the worse)
i was expecting her to be in wayyy worse condition than she really is
she will be fine and up for adoption in a week at the least...maybe even two. as long as she gets some weight on her she will be ok.
shes gunna need a home with no small kids though and at most one other dog because she needs as less stress as possible

yeah terra ill post some more tomarrow morning
shes asleep in travis hoodie pocket lol
there are two kinds of mange
scarpiotic is contagious and the demodecrtis whatever its spelled isnt contagious
basically its skin mites...
it can be all over or just in some areas
EDITED TO AD: ok so if you think your dog has mange you should get her checked out by a vet... it could be a form of conatgious mange called scarpiotic otherwise known in human form as scabies
and you could catch it!!!

You think Bell has mange? I hope not I've only seen pictures of mange really so I'm not help. Maybe you can compare it to Suzy's pics.
How is the new puppy today?

i just hope the blood goes away... im thinking its due to stress and her meds maybe...shes eating and drinking fine so im not too worried

You let a 2lb puppy sleep in bed with you?! Isn't that dangerous? They can easily get tangled in the sheets and suffocate

nah she was on my chest all night lol
i dont sleep with a blanket anymore...ever sice ive been pregnant i get too hot with a blanket so i just done use one.
sarah-thats what i was thinkig it is
she MUST be stressed i could only imagine thats why shes got blood in her poop.
shes been to the vet and tested neg for parvo and giardia, thats when they found out she had mange
so its gotta be stres related
what did you guys do to help her get over that?
