Petunia Update - Operation Done!

Petunia (Gina) gained enough weight to have her tail amputation performed by the skilled team at Vetspress, today.

The operation went very well and all the infected area of the tail was removed. She now has a clean and healthy tail left.

She is not in pain as she is on painkillers but is very displeased by the cone and is now sulking and swearing somewhat in kitten language for being forced to wear the cone of shame. 🙃

A huge thank you to the entire Vetspress team. An amazing group let by Dr. Lissa Altschuler and supported by such caring and capable professionals. Her foster, Samantha Blair has been a wonderful caregiver and she could not be in better hands.

The funds raised for Precious who sadly did not make it will be going towards Petunia's operation and care. Thank you all who donated. That's a huge help. In honour of Precious.

Petunia Update - Cuteness Overload! 🐾🐾

Petunia (aka Gina because she is so spicy!) is having a grand time hanging out with the amazing team at Vetspress. Current foster Samantha Blair, Dr. Lissa and the entire team are doing everything to ensure the infection in her tail is kept at bay until she weighs enough to have her operation. She has been getting hydrotherapy and it has helped a great deal. 💧💧

She will see the surgeon on Monday and if she is strong and sturdy enough, she may have the amputation on Monday morning.

In the meantime, she has been schmoozing up the Vetspress clientele by day and also acting as office manager as you can see in the pic below. Doubling up as the receptionist, Petunia likes to take cat naps in between. 🥰🥰😻😻

Petunia’s Health Update

Petunia’s tail is still quite infected. It looks like it may have been severed by a fan belt of a car when she was seeking warmth.
She is still too small to have the surgery so she is receiving antibiotics in the meantime. As soon as she weighs enough, the infected part of the tail will be amputated.

Other than her tail, she is a very happy kitten, soaking in all the love and affection she is getting.

Here she is having a cat nap in between play times. 😻

Petunia is not yet ready for adoption but will clearly make a wonderful addition to a loving home when the time comes.

Keanu Reeves is one of the most beloved and respected stars in Hollywood. Let's read about Keanu Reeves' story.
❤️Get your t-shirt: https://www.animals-no1.com/dog22
Not only his acting talent, but his actions and qualities have created a beautiful image in the public's heart. Keanu Reeves is famous for his kind and respectful treatment of everyone, from colleagues and fans to people working in various professions. He often chats and takes photos with fans without showing any annoyance. Despite being very successful in his acting career, Keanu Reeves rarely talks about his success and often shares credit with his colleagues and film crew.
He lives a very simple life:
- Keanu Reeves frequently uses public transportation, such as the subway, instead of luxurious cars. There are many images and videos capturing him sitting on the subway and giving up his seat for women and the elderly.
- Keanu Reeves is very active in charitable activities. He donated a large portion of his earnings from "The Matrix" to cancer and leukemia research organizations. He also established an anonymous charity to help cancer patients and others, without seeking public recognition.
- Keanu Reeves is not hesitant to appear in casual clothes and is often seen walking or biking around the city.
Moreover, he loves animals very much. The shirt he is holding, which reads, "Dog spelled backwards is GOD. Just know that Dogs are God's way of proving that He didn't want us to walk alone" conveys a meaningful and touching message. Dogs have long been known as man's best friend. They are not just pets but also friends, protectors, and companions in various circumstances. This quote emphasizes the importance of dogs in human life, as an indispensable friend.
🧡I think you will be proud to wear this T-shirt👇

Petunia Update!

With a great amount of teamwork Petunia is now in NDG where tomorrow a surgeon will examine and assess Petunia's severed tail under sedation. She will then be going to a longer term foster family until she is ready for adoption.

Petunia will likely need an amputation of the tip of the remaining tail but we will know more tomorrow. This has been quite the urgent situation because infection could set in which would be very dangerous.

So thankful for everyone who brought this plan to fruition and last but definitely not least to all the people who donated to Precious, the little angel who passed away before we were able to save her. By allowing PetitsPawz to keep the funds and use them for another kitty in Precious' honour, we are able to help Petunia.

This is a perfect example of teamwork. I am so grateful and so is Petunia.

URGENT- FOSTER NEEDED FOR 6-WEEK OLD PETUNIA
Last night, Petunia was rescued from outside when a lady heard loud panicked screeches outside her front door. Petunia was crying for help and when she was brought inside, she expressed her gratitude with nonstop purring.

Petunia has a severed tail that was possibly bitten off by another animal. It is not completely fresh as it is dry and there is no wet blood. There are also wounds on her face.

She is no older than 6 to 7 weeks old and is completely tame. She was possibly dumped. There are no signs of any other kittens.
Petunia needs vet care ASAP but the first step right now is to get a foster family as the lady who found her is leaving on vacation Monday morning.

I am looking for a quiet home with a cozy place for her to stay. Once the vetting is done and she is deemed healthy, she will be put up for adoption.

I had raised $740 for Precious a few weeks ago who sadly passed away. That money will be allocated to Petunia for her vet care. I may need to raise more if she needs to have her tail properly amputated depending on the status.

In the meantime, if you are interested in fostering Petunia please contact me (Susan Mackasey) here in FB or at [email protected]

UPDATE: I AM ADOPTED!
(le français suit)
https://animatch.ca/pages/dogs/24215

Calling all Northern dog enthusiasts! Sage here, making my debut on the adoptees page. I’m betting I won’t be waiting long for someone to come along and sweep me off my feet! I, along with my 6 littermates (aka spices) were born on August 12th.

Mom Attook – Marjoram or Marj while she is at the Centre – will be going home to Kuujjuarapik once her job is done with us. What an amazing Mom and I am happy that she is going back to the family she loves. She has given all of her time and energy to us for the past 8 weeks or so – now it’s her turn to enjoy life.

If you’re looking for love, I’ve got plenty to offer. My dream guardian would be someone who enjoys having a good time and is keen on the great outdoors. You can expect to be going for a lot of long walks or hikes – my motto is a good dog is a tired dog. I would need for you to teach me, guide me, and call me your best buddy forever.

I get along with other dogs; cats that are dog-savvy would be okay. I play hard during the day but I can take it down a notch and relax if I have enough exercise. Sturdy, respectful children over 8 would best suit me. Please remember that puppies come with sharp teeth – it is NOT aggression, we are teething. That is where training comes in; I could definitely use some.

In order for me to be the dog of your dreams, I’m counting on you for this journey. So how about you bring my story to a close … with open arms, commitment, a loving heart. When you fill in the Adoption Form, remember my name … SAGE!

Appel à tous les passionnés de chiens du Nord ! Je suis Sage et je fais mes débuts sur la page des adoptés. Je parie que je n'attendrai pas longtemps avant que quelqu'un vienne me chercher ! Moi, ainsi que mes 6 compagnons de portée (alias épices) sommes nés le 12 août.

Maman Attook - Marjolaine ou Marj lorsqu'elle est au Centre - retournera chez elle à Kuujjuarapik une fois qu'elle aura terminé son travail avec nous. C'est une maman extraordinaire et je suis heureuse qu'elle retourne dans la famille qu'elle aime. Elle nous a consacré tout son temps et toute son énergie au cours des huit dernières semaines environ - c'est maintenant à son tour de profiter de la vie.

Si vous cherchez de l'amour, j'ai beaucoup à offrir. Le gardien de mes rêves serait quelqu'un qui aime s'amuser et qui est passionné par les grands espaces. Vous pouvez vous attendre à de longues promenades ou randonnées - ma devise est qu'un bon chien est un chien fatigué. J'aurais besoin que vous m'appreniez, que vous me guidiez et que vous m'appeliez votre meilleur ami pour toujours.

Je m'entends bien avec les autres chiens ; les chats qui connaissent les chiens seraient bien. Je joue beaucoup pendant la journée, mais je peux me détendre si j'ai assez d'exercice. Des enfants de plus de 8 ans, robustes et respectueux, me conviendraient mieux. N'oubliez pas que les chiots ont des dents pointues - ce n'est PAS de l'agressivité, nous faisons nos dents. C'est là qu'intervient le dressage ; j'en aurais bien besoin.

Pour que je devienne le chien de vos rêves, je compte sur vous. Et si vous mettiez un point final à mon histoire... en m'ouvrant les bras, en m'engageant et en m'aimant de tout votre cœur. Lorsque vous remplirez le formulaire d'adoption, n'oubliez pas mon nom ... SAGE !
