Nox crossed the rainbow bridge ✨ I’m devastated to tell you that Nox didn’t make it... For the people who followed my stories about him, we all know he fought so hard, a little strong man, it was all too much. For the people that didn’t see my stories about him: At the end of May, I found Nox at the bus stop close to my house, screaming for Mom who jumped a fence he couldn’t get over. I tried to reunite them but mom walked away. From the beginning, he was a social little man, towards people and other dogs. After giving him de-worming he went into a long seizure. We put him under an anesthetic and the next day he was back to his normal self. Unfortunately two weeks after he stopped eating and we discovered he had tick disease. The vet gave him some shots with medicine and he started eating again. In consultation with the vet, we gave him another type of deworming. This seemed to go well until the next day, he stopped eating again. A rollercoaster week of vet visits twice a day and lots of IV fluids began. He lost a lot of weight. After almost a week of not eating he finally started eating and drinking again. He became his normal self again, happy and playful. Until yesterday. I noticed him being a bit down so I took him to the vet who told me everything seemed to be fine. So that calmed me down a little. Around 4 in the morning, I woke up, and I heard Nox making noises like he didn’t feel good. I took him with me on the bed, and he vomited. His belly looked swollen. After 5 minutes his breathing changed and I knew it was time for him to go, he died. Little man fought till the end I’m devastated and didn’t expect this, he did so well the last couple of days... #dog #rescue #pup #puppy #dogrescue #rescuedog #rescuepup #puppyrescue #dogsofinstagram

Heaven gained an angel 🌈 On 10/10 Tyson didn't feel great. Hadn’t seen him all afternoon, he was sleepy, his eyes didn't really look at me, vomiting, diarrhea with blood, etc. 10/10 is a holiday on the island so I called the vet on call, luckily the vet I normally go to. She heard something in his lungs but was not sure if it was him making noise or his lungs. He also showed signs of having pain in his stomach. He got a shot of antibiotics that would help for both his lungs and stomach and a painkiller shot.We went back the next day, he was more active, eating, no more diarrhea or vomiting.All went well until today, he was making noises again, short of breath, gasping for breath, and not eating. He didn't feel comfortable lying down so he just stood there, gasping for air trying not to fall asleep. We went back to the vet, fluid in his lungs and his heart working overtime because of that. I could tell he was really worried.He gave him a shot to help drain the fluids from his lungs. His heart slowed down, a good sign. He also gave him a painkiller to make him feel more comfortable. We went home with some shots to help drain the fluids. He needed them every 6-8 hours and we needed to come back tomorrow. We went home, and after an hour he seemed more “comfortable”. His fever was gone and he was okay with lying down while I held him. Still not comfortable lying down on his own. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the fever going away, it was his body already shutting down..I took him with me to the bedroom so he could sleep with me and I could monitor him, didn’t want to leave him alone. I put him on the bed, and he walked a little circle, fell against me, and started breathing differently, Mosi came to check it out and became his big spoon while little Tyson took his last breaths. He was not alone ❤️. This little man was rescued by a wonderful mom and her 18-year-old son who took really good care of him and bottled fed him. When Tyson was around 3 weeks old, stil

💔💔💔 This morning I drove past Scherpenheuvel again and found this female... Skinny but so sweet. I fell in love a little bit with how incredibly sweet she is. She wanted to jump in my car so bad... Unfortunately, I had to leave her behind because I don’t have the space and RPC doesn’t have the funds for more dogs 😫. I’m hoping someone falls in love with her too and wants to adopt or foster her. For now, I will drive there every day to bring some extra food and water (the dogs at Scherpenheuvel are getting food from the feed friends foundation every day). When she is a bit stronger I will bring her to the vet to get her sterilized. Hopefully, we found a solution for her before that. This breaks my heart 💔 I will post some more video’s in the comments
