It has taken me a few days to digest the information. The words have been hard to read.

"Abnormalities are incredibly rare"

The gut wrenching words no one wants to hear. Yet, Merlin is totally oblivious to them. Lovable. Playful Hopping around just like a 6 month old puppy should be. Meanwhile, there wasn't a dry eye in the room.

UGA is the very best care for rarities. This is so rare that there is no known treatment plan. My mind became a blur. I'm not used to being defeated when it comes to the cases we rescue. I was listening but it was so hard to hear clearly.

Partnering with The Good Karma Project and Dr Bowman has been truly amazing. We've been a part of everything from before Merlin arrived at her office. At this time, Merlin will remain in her care and we will continue the fight to help Merlin. He's home. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

Dr Bowman put it perfectly - her post is attached.

MERLIN UPDATE: 2/15/25

We are now in receipt of the report from UGA and would like to share it with all of you. We are grateful for your patience and encouragement during this stressful period.

Regrettably, Merlin's condition is exceptionally rare, and any attempted treatments are not guaranteed to succeed. Even the most experienced specialists at UGA suspect that we will not be able to save him. In fact, we possibly only have a few months left with this angel!

Therefore, Merlin will continue to stay with Dr. Bowman who will continue to advocate for him and continue his primary care. We will work closely with Capital Veterinary Specialist to investigate untried treatment options for this disease in hopes we can change his current expected outcome.

It has been suggested that we start a bucket list for Merlin, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to drop it in the comments below.

We want to thank our rescue partners at Paw Paws Pet Rescue for not only helping raise funds for Merlinโ€˜s treatment and care but also meeting us at UGA and supporting Dr. Bowman with all the decisions make so far!

We are truly blessed to know we have/are doing EVERYTHING we can!

Little Mandy is currently in surgery. What became a rescue to give Mandy dignity has become a rescue of epic proportion. Our rescue is so lucky to partner with the best of the best.

Dr Brady is a specialized surgeon. He advised that the surgery would be difficult based on the amount of trauma her body has suffered. Mandy began urinating and defecating on her own on the 3rd day of stray hold. That was a key element to saving her.

Diane is a close rescue partner who offered to foster Mandy. Mandy is a terrier mix. Tiny. Very young.

Please keep Dr Brady. Diane and Mandy in your thoughts today as another dog undergoes surgery to ensure her quality of life and a future with an amazing family.

Merlin's visit at UGA update:

As we continue to support and do what's best for Merlin we still do not know what the BLOB really is or why it exists. The fact that there is virtually zero case information or guidance as to what and how this invasive growth is determined to make Merlin's case additionally frustrating.

After a long day at UGA, we've gained valuable insights from a collaborative effort between a boarded radiologist/surgeon/oncologist and internist, who agree that Merlin's case is uniquely rare, presenting a challenge that requires innovative problem-solving. Every option is a calculated risk and possible step towards finding the best temporary solution - however not guaranteed, and we're committed to exploring all avenues before considering invasive procedures that may not impact the final outcome. The specialists have requested additional time to confer and will present a comprehensive recommendation next



The Specialists in Tallahassee (Dr Jehn and Moralas at Capital Veterinary Specalist) are on board to help us the best they can once we decide the best next step!

Thank you for your unwavering love and support, which fuels our determination to find a way forward. He is home with Dr. Bowman and happy at this time which is the most important thing! Keeping him comfortable and providing him with quality of life is a priority.

We will post updates as they come! We are excited to continue the partnership with Dr Bowman and The Good Karma Project.

It's here and not a moment too soon.

Merlin is having issues we are deeply concerned about and UGA was able to get him seen immediately due to a cancellation. If he had to wait until March 17th no telling if he would have done so comfortably.

Experience behind us, we have a room tonight into the morning (longer if necessary) pet friendly and close to UGA. This trip brings back so many memories of Cole for us. We know we are getting the very best care for Merlin and we also believe Cole is sharing good vibes from above.

If you are inclined to assist with medical costs that are being incurred; THANK YOU Simone King for the Marathon Gas Card and monetary donation to assist with offsetting travel costs ๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’˜

Unfortunately, for Merlin, the last few days have been a little more difficult than previous days. He seemed a little depressed and less interested in playing as of Sunday! Luckily we were able to move the UGA appt up to Feb 13thโ€ฆ. That's THURSDAY!!!

We will be hitting the road overnight to arrive at UGA in time for his 10am appointment. The treatment for the unknown BLOB will be provided once UGA has a chance to do a thorough evaluation and exam.

1 month post opโ€ฆ. The lesion has continued to grow back and has now started leaking fluid and is infected!

So, todayโ€ฆ.He gave himself alittle pep talk! Vowing to continue to be strong and fight!

We are so lucky to have Dr Bowman fostering Merlin and she has partnered with a local specialist who has helped get him started on new meds today and within 12 hours he seems more like himselfโ€ฆ. However for him being โ€œnormalโ€ includes the irregular skin lesions.

Please continue to share his story and donate if you can. We will share the treatment options with you as soon as we get a plan/estimate from the UGA team!

This little girl took her freedom ride this morning with Cecilia Dawn Foley Chapman from the shelter after a debilitating 5 day stray hold. When we first received her story it wasn't a case that could turn out well. She wasn't able to do much and it was suggested to let her go with dignity. That was our goal.

Things changed over the course of 5 days. Mandy is emptying her bladder and bowels on her own now. She is fearful and in severe pain. Di Rogers has been a strong partner in animal welfare and we have partnered with 8 dogs on their healing journeys. We agreed that Mandy would be loved on and we would get her the top notch vet care possible if she can be saved. If not, Mandy will spend time with Diane and be humanely euthanized and buried at the Rodgers Cemetery.

If you are inclined to assist in her medical evaluation, pain meds, food etc until we have a clear visual of the injuries and treatment plan, please use the following link and indicate care for Mandy.
