The suffering and stress caused to dogs and our dedicated teams by irresponsible breeders.
I think all our supporters know that we go the extra mile for all the animals, especially those suffering the most.
Just a couple of days ago, we were presented with a box of cold puppies, just hours old needing to be hand reared.
7 poor little mites were deprived of their Mum, just 10 mths old, she was having to undergo surgery to remove dead pups that she was two exhausted to deliver.
We wrapped the pups up and our amazing friends at Rescue Me, Steph and her team of hand rearers, took on the enormous task of hand feeding every few hours. The little ones were suckling well so a promising start. Our plan is that they come to Carla Lane when old enough to be rehomed.
We were surprised when another pup was brought to Steph later that evening. She had survived the surgery to save Mum, but had accidentally had her leg sliced during the C Section. Her leg muscle has a deep wound. She's seen the vet and is on medication but it's a worry, a nasty cut to her little leg. She has had to have veterinary attention along with a second pup that was struggling.
Although the little girl has survived, 3 others have died due to effect of meconium poisoning, caused by the trauma their Mum went through, far too young to give birth only a baby herself. 😔
We are appealing for support and need to buy supplies, puppy milk, pads, cotton wool, liquid Panacur and to fund the ongoing vet bills incurred and those to come to get the remaining 5 puppies through this difficult time.
The next 3 weeks will be hard. We are all praying they make it. 🙏They are receiving the best of care.❤️
The hand rearing team really suffer, having to see the pups go through this, when all could have been avoided. Firstly by not breeding such a young dog and then failing to get the right advice from Rescues that do reach out to help.
We will keep you updated and the team are working through the night to ensure the pups get all the care they need.
Please donate if you can, we are going through the hardest time due to so many little souls all ages needing our care.😔
