Coastal High Flyers- Flyball & Agility Morisset

Recap of SX May the 4th (redo) ✨
I think I speak for us all when I say we had a fantastic day of racing! This combo has settled well with some testing/shuffling at the last comp and the dogs really enjoyed racing on grass for the first time in a while with a best time of 19.209. With lots of clean runs! 🤩

Big congratulations 👏🏼🎉
To Storm for achieving his Flyball Master title at 400 points! Not spitting his ball all day.
To Millie for achieving her Flyball Dog Excellent title at 20 points and only 4 from her next title and Kelly getting a PB start time of 0.006.
Special mention to Raven for running half a second faster, many contributing factors including Izzy putting in the work at home to fix his box turn, his love for running on grass and some expert heart attack passes.
And the little man Watson for not spitting his ball all day!! The fairy wings are a great success 🧚🏼‍♀️ and of course also Mum and Rach's expert passing skill!
Of course to our ever ready box loader Greg and ball sh***er Tracey.

All of this is putting us in a really comfy place for Nationals in just over 2 weeks time 🫣
I'm really proud of all hands getting in to help. Makes for a nice smooth day and great supportive club vibes 🫶🏼

On Thursday evening, the world lost a fighter. 💔
There is so much that can be said about Lilo, but i'll try to keep it short. She was a spicy girl who did nothing by halves and threw her absolute everything into every task.
CHF had the privilege of knowing Lilo from the start of the club and gaining her trust and love over the last 2 years. Flyball (after her mum) was her absolute favourite thing in the world. She got to do everything she loved, be loud, mad, and, of course, get the ball!

At their last comp together got 2x perfect 0.000 starts and we could really see her setting her pace and confidence. Racing was something that we weren't always sure she would be able to do due to the spice. But once she was racing, she became our ever reliable start dog and you could see the shift in Lilo's confidence in herself and Claire's confidence in Lilo.

In flyball, when a team member is lost, we often will do a ghost run. So in honour of Lilo, our first race of this weekend's comp, we gave her one last race in start, it was bloody hard for the team, but we knew Lilo was there in spirit 🩵💜

23/06/2024

A huge congratulations to Kelly Greg Batten for their amazing debut of Millie at State of Origin! They made the huge journey up north as 6th dog in the team to get some ring experience and after 2 days of being consistent and focused in the warm ups we threw her in and she did not disappoint! Absolutely smashed it in her first ever race 🎉🎉🎉🎉

22/06/2024

Good luck to our amazing Flyball team for day 2 of Flyball State of Origin!!

Lilo is getting a feeding tube today, and having some fluid removed. Results have not improved since yesterday. Fingers crossed with nutrients getting in she will feel stronger to keep fighting!!

On behalf of Coastal High Flyers, we have set this up to help raise funds to support Claire and Lilo, who is… Emily Lyons needs your support for Lilo & Claire

16/06/2024

KEEP SHARING! Though this first chunk of donations has been a massive help, Lilo and Claire still need our help. Vet bills are piling up.

As of this morning Lilo's alt is 6500 (was 9000 or 8000)
Her bilirubin is 200

She is appearing more yellow today but that’s expected

Her poo has gone Melena , which is a worry but they reduced her steroids because she could be developing stomach ulcers which would explain the poo.

She does have more free fluid today

She has gone a little off her food because they reduced her anti nausea but are putting her back on it.
Vets asked Claire to bring in some foods to tempt Lilo.

She is appearing more bright than yesterday.

Lilo today, for the first time since being hospitalised, was refusing to go back with the nurses and wanted to go with Claire! Which is good news.

13/06/2024

Update from Claire this morning from the vet.

Waiting on alt & lepto tests.

They need to check her blood clotting time now
Some fluid around some of her organs, but no worse than yesterday
Her bruising around her stomach is the same, no worse

So she is more quite then yesterday but they think it’s because of her fluoxetine now.
So they're dropping it to once every second day, so they can keep a closer eye on her

Her digestive system is still really gurgly, so no improvement on that

✨️ But they sound really optimistic that she is no worse than yesterday ✨️

But will let me know what her clotting rate is at & if she needs another plasma bag, which I’ve agreed for them to do if she needs it.
But she has all the drugs they could possibly give her.

They want me to come visit her today so I’m going to go after work & see her.

So she is no worse than yesterday.

Almost half way to our initial goal! In less than 24 hours.
Thank you everyone for your generosity!!
Lilo was critical but stable overnight and vets will be assessing this morning for an update ❤️

♥️ PLEASE HELP LILO & CLAIRE ♥️

Life with dogs is a blessing and a curse…… sadly this little familiar face to you all, our Madame lilo, has come down with a mystery illness and is currently battling the unknown toxicity in her body in intensive care at SASH.

Lilo is owned by our beautiful Claire and is a very unique and special dog. She is extremely talented and is involved in the dog sport community with her mum and has made a significant impact wherever she goes.

Claire’s flyball team have put together a go fund me to help cover medical costs that are increasing each day while they keep lilo stable and work out what is happening to her. The bill is currently looking to be at its highest end $16K, with prior vet bills before heading to SASH too. Claire is lucky to hold pet insurance but this won’t cover everything and with expenses likely to rise above $16K she’s still looking at a reasonable expense even with her pet insurance. This includes plasma bags that are essential to keeping lilo fighting right now but are very expensive.

If you have spare change anything will help - her sport community is leading the charge on this but her daycare community is welcome to assist in the cause ♥️

If anyone knows of any similar cases to Lilos please also reach out! She is experiencing liver failure due to an unknown toxin in her body, this includes vomiting, diarrhoea, lack of blood clotting and bleeding. The most common poisons have been mostly ruled out but we are all ears to any information that can help!

The go fund me link is attached below - please keep lilo in your thoughts, she’s going to have to fight hard to win this battle but we honestly do not know any other dog that would have better odds than her at beating it ♥️

❤️PLEASE HELP OUR GIRL, LILO❤️
Claire and Lilo are in a rough spot at the moment. Lilo is currently in SASH with a mystery ailment, presenting as some sort of toxicity, vets are working hard to understand and treat. Please see the attached link for more details. At this stage she's looking at at least another week at the vet. Dig deep to help get Lilo out of the vet and back home to her spicy self!!

We have organised this GoFundMe to help cover medical costs that are increasing each day while they keep lilo stable and work out what is happening to her. The bill is currently looking to be at its highest end $16K, with prior vet bills before heading to SASH too. Claire is lucky to hold pet insurance but this won’t cover everything and with expenses likely to rise above $16K she’s still looking at a reasonable expense even with her pet insurance. This includes plasma bags that are essential to keeping lilo fighting right now but are very expensive.

If you have spare change anything will help - together with her Dog Squad daycare family and sporting community we can help out ♥️

If anyone knows of any similar cases to Lilo's please also reach out! She is experiencing liver failure due to an unknown toxin in her body, this includes vomiting, diarrhoea, lack of blood clotting and bleeding. The most common poisons have been mostly ruled out but we are all ears to any information that can help!

Please share in your circles, I know just about everyone who is aware of the situation has messaged me asking how we can help. This is it!

So we had originally planned to bring on our first beginners for 2024 this month.
There has been some speedbumps with public liability insurance, that we have been waiting on /looking into.
That seems to have been resolved by the AFA so hopefully once we can access the certificate of currency then we can resume training.

Keep your eyes peeled for our intake announcement. And thanks for your patience!
