We said goodbye to the best girl ever late last night. Nettie came in to our rescue with her mom and 4 other siblings at only 5 days old. She was in a foster home and ended up coming to me when she wasn’t gaining weight. We never did find anything wrong with her but it was a struggle to keep weight on her for the first two years. November 2020 she started having issues with edema in her front leg. She was hospitalized many times at my local vet and emergency vet as well as Blue Pearl and NC State in the last 4 years. She bloated and the last 9 days were so hard. We ended up back at State yesterday and it was determined she would need emergency surgery. There was some suspicion that she was already septic and with an only 50/50 chance of her pulling through we had to make the gut wrenching decision to say goodbye. Her body had been having some issues with her blood pressure and heart that she hadn’t in the past. I knew it was time. I am grateful for all the vets and assistants who have given such great care and compassion over the last 4 years. She will be missed so much. Thank you to those who have donated many times to help with her bills.

We ended up taking Nettie to NC State on Thursday as her temperature was rising and our regular vet was concerned. They switched up her antibiotics and she was doing well. They did an echocardiogram this afternoon as she’s had some arrhythmia that was worrisome. We have to call cardiology on Monday to set up a consult with them in the next 3-4 weeks. Poor girl is shaved all over. She did eat a little food when we got back home and she’s now sleeping. Thank you for those who have donated! We are right at $11k since her emergency surgery last Saturday night.

Unfortunately Nettie started declining and she had to go back to the vet this morning. X-rays confirmed she’s got aspiration pneumonia. In addition she’s lost a**l tone (well as of yesterday) so that is another issue we will have to figure out. Potentially a neuro consult if no improvement in the next few weeks. She’s back at the emergency vet tonight for continued hospitalization. Please continue to send prayers her way! Thank you to those who have donated so far! Tonight’s deposit was $1000, I didn’t get a copy of the bill for the regular vet today as she may be back there tomorrow.

Nettie was able to come home this morning. She’s had a rough day. Her GI is moving but she isn’t, we’ve gone through quite a few paper towels. 💩. She also hasn’t eaten until after getting entyce late this afternoon. She finally took a few bites of rotisserie chicken and a little kibble. 🤞🏻 Thank you to those who have donated! We appreciate it!

We’ve not posted in a while, life has just been hectic and we’ve been slowing down. We do still have a few forever fosters that we are caring for, Nettie is one of them. She’s currently at the emergency vet and will be going into surgery soon for bloat. She had already twisted as well, I only live 10 min from the vet and got her there fast. Scary how quick they twist. I had to put $4500 on my credit card as the rescue only has $1300. Any donations would be appreciated, our PayPal is [email protected]. Please send lots of prayers her way, she’s such a trooper with all she’s had to go through.

Murphy fought hard and was improving until last night when his body just couldn’t keep fighting. His foster mom said goodbye this morning. Thank you so much to those who donated and have been praying for him. Rest easy big boy! 💔

Murphy, one of our long term forever fosters is at the emergency vet with aspiration pneumonia. His right lung is 90% compromised. Our rescue has been closed for intake for over a year due to low funds. We cannot afford the low estimate for his hospitalization. We would appreciate any donations to help with his care. Our PayPal is [email protected], or donations can be called in directly to the vet on the photo attached. Please send some good thoughts as he’s 9 years old.

Nettie always enjoys her acupuncture sessions. She’s been doing well so we will stay the course for now. The biggest “lesson” learned over the last 4 years of dealing with her mystery illness, never wait until the end to try Chinese medicine. We are so grateful for both Dr. Gerardi and Dr. Vidaurri!

We are at the emergency vet with Scout tonight. She’s one of our forever fosters who’s had some issues the last few weeks and was just at the regular vet on Wednesday. Please send some prayers her way.
