Joey, Maisie and Marlene.
Good Evening from Brazil. The weather has been awful for a few days and after a glimpse of spring it quickly changed back to winter. We had a couple of storms and constant rain. We tried to rescue a couple of dogs, but both evaded us. It was probably just as well as distemper is rampant here. We have a few sick dogs here Maisie one of Leah’s puppies is on doxy for tick disease and Polly is also being treated for tick disease. Joey is having difficulty rising up from a laying down position as is Marlene. These two dogs are both very old. Carlos‘s biopsy came back and they didn’t find anything malignant and have refereed him to a hospital in down town Rio which specializes in intestinal problems. He is having another special tomography and then he has to have a test specifically for inflammation in the intestines. I am sorry we haven’t been posting a lot as the rain was falling without stopping for days. I will be having another mammogram soon to see if the lump they saw shows up again. All the dogs got some kind of problem and we had many with diarrhoea. There was a lot of p**p to deal with. We have changed their food and hopefully things will improve. Donations still at an all-time low average one per day, not sure how we will cope if this continues. It’s extremely worrying with all these dogs depending on us. We are short staffed yet again as one guy left two days ago. Sometimes I just sit here paralyzed with fear not wanting to ask for help, but forced to. I know all my long term followers help when they can. I thank them for that. I see other shelters here are struggling too. None of us receive government help. We are picking up a dog tomorrow. He’s an old Labrador with a broken leg. Posting his video now. He has been abandoned with a severe break. It's another sad dog without help. Please donate to help him he can hardly walk paypal dogsinbrazil20@ hotmail.com. He is an old guy needs help
