Second Chance Mushers

Second Chance Mushers SCM is a sanctuary home for unwanted Northern Breed Dogs. This is what Second Chance Mushers (SCM) is all about. I dog sled for FUN! Sarah and the Pups

My name is Sarah, and my life is all about dogs, dog sledding, and making a difference. I run with a dog sled team entirely made out of rescued dogs. Each one has come to me over a period of time and each one with its own reason of being surrendered. There are 25 dogs in my care presently as sanctuary dogs. It's for the dog's enjoyment as well as mine. Each dog lives in my home, they are my family

. It's not uncommon to come to my home and not be able to find a place to sit because the pups only like soft, comfy couches. Second Chance Mushers Rescue is a sanctuary/rescue. Every dog at the SCM home is a rescue dog and all belong to the sanctuary. SCM is a non-profit sanctuary rescue with the hopes of one day having a facility that allows foster dogs for adoption. These dogs are my family and mean the world to me. I like to share our journey through life on this page which may be filled with happiness, sorrow, or laughter. Just hope you all enjoy it as well.

Zoey, Zoey update!

She’s fine, begging for food, but she needs to wait and still let her tummy rest.

I’m a nurse and when humans have an upset stomach that causes vomiting and diarrhea, we gut rest them, meaning nothing by mouth to irritate the stomach. She has access to fresh water all day and has been drinking plenty.

Come morning if she is good, she will start with just some bland chicken.

I have had many dogs with both symptoms or either just one. I have even had a dog bloat twice. Many trips to the vet when symptoms continue on or they concern me.

I appreciate all the guidance, but I do promise that I am evaluating and making the best decision for any SCMR Pup that becomes ill.

Puppy time! I am still keeping them separate from the group a little longer as 2 of them still have some runny poops. Until I know it’s not contagious, I don’t need the entire pack getting sick. (I can’t afford that😂) Or if worms remain after their first de-worming, my crew doesn’t need that either.

I started them on some probiotics and ordered some limited ingredient puppy food.

They are getting some pumpkin morning and night which has bulked up two of them. 💜🐾

Obviously, a vet run will be needed before then if it doesn’t resolve to avoid dehydration.

My two culprits are Hopper (biggest puppy) and Elle (little girl).

Steve and Dustin are golden right now, so hoping these interventions help the other two.

Not a good day for Miss Zoey 🥺 She decided to throw up all over me while I was sleeping last night. (Nothing like my back covered in vomit) Has some diarrhea to boot.
Had one pill of Cerenia left from a previous dog, so gave her that.

I am cooking up some chicken for the girl and going to keep it bland for a few days and hope whatever is plaguing her, disperses.

Not my first rodeo and gut rest is important to not continually prompt the stomach to want to throw up so no food or pumpkin until she is not vomiting. She only had one episode of each, so I will not be running to the vet based off that. If it persists, I will. I also will not be running to have her administered activated charcoal. I have been to my vet on many occasions prior to this for repeated symptoms and activated charcoal was not the treatment option.

I do value all your opinions, but you gotta trust I got this 💜🐾
